1

<p>Can you tell me if this is wrong or right? </p>

<p>I would join the club, but the members forbade me.</p>

<p>-----or--------------</p>

<p>I would join the club but the members forbid me. </p>

<p>Please explain what is right and why.</p>

2

<p>forbade is past tense…it should be i would have joined the club, but the members forbade me, or the second one which is in present tense</p>

3

<p>While what seekere said is a grammatically correct sentence, your first option is the correct way of saying it in the present tense (ie. if someone asks why you aren’t going to join the club, you would say “I would join,” not “I would have joined”). Think about it in the order things must have happened; the forbidding had to have occurred in the past for you to be unable to join now, therefore “forbade” is the correct word.</p>

4

<p>^yep your right, somehow didnt catch that</p>

5

<p>is i would have the past perfect?</p>
