Please, could you help me?
Hello, everyone
This questions has bothered me for weeks. Please, could you help me to understand these topics?
1) Does it sound odd or is it wrong to use "would" here instead of used to? "About fifty years ago, people would more often than not speak out on generational conflict"
2) Are "so" and "so that" interchangeable sometimes? Are so and so that interchangeable?
Can I say "It was getting late, so that we decided to go home" instead of "It was getting late, so we decided to go home"? And "Steps must be taken so these disasters never happen again" instead of "Steps must be taken so that these disasters never happen again"?
3) Can I use "a dissatisfaction towards" and "ventured" in this paragraph? "China's new approach to the disputes is not simply a manifestation of the newfound ability in power politics, but rather a dissatisfaction towards the accommodation approach ventured by the previous leadership." Are they odd or wrong?
Thank you very much
