which will then be filed

[Winwin2011]

Is the following sentence natural?


We supposed that the change of directors to be presented in the company’s annual return which will then be filed with Companies Registry,.

 

[bhaisahab]

No. It doesn't make sense.

 

[Winwin2011]

Could anybody correct my English?

 

[bhaisahab]

It might be easier to correct if you rephrase it. At the moment it's not clear what you want to say.

 

[Matthew Wai]

If "supposed" is replaced with "proposed", perhaps I can guess what you want to say.

If I use "assumed" in place of "supposed", can you guess what I mean?

 

[Matthew Wai]

I guess it means "We assumed that the change of directors would be described in the company's annual return which will then be submitted to the Companies Registry".

Not a teacher.

Hi Matthew

How about using 'filled in' in place of 'described'?

We propose that the change of directors be announced in the company's annual return, which will then be filed with Companies Registry.

How does that sound? I'm still guessing at what you actually want to say so that might not work. I'm also assuming that "Companies Registry" is correct where you are. It doesn't exist in BrE.

I think ours is called Companies House.

 

[emsr2d2]

It is indeed.

 

[Matthew Wai]

It is indeed called "Companies Registry" in the OP's city, which is a former British colony.

I wonder which of the following sentences is more natural?

1......which is a former British colony.
2......which was a British colony.

 

[Matthew Wai]

I want to add a third option: 3......which used to be a British colony.

Not a teacher.

 

[emsr2d2]

I prefer Matthew Wai's option 3. After that, I like "which is".
