I don’t know the official grammatical definition as I am not an English teacher, but..... What do you like is just what you generally like in a broad sense. What ‘would’ you like is more subjective... Eg If I was young , I would like nursery type music If I was in a wheelchair, I would require access that didn’t have any stairway. It’s quite difficult to suggest examples, so I hope this answers your question? Mike

You should never refer to a person as that!! It is extremely rude... You should substitute that for either he or she

Arguementative and confrontational

1) led me to believe means someone put an argument forward that misled you. You interpreted what they said in a different way than what was actually the facts. 2) Being rational is being calm and level headed ie not being

3) to me, sounds like you are challenging me to pull on the reins whilst riding a horse. Better to make the subject, riding a horse, eg ‘Wilst riding a horse, pull on the left rein in order to turn left’

Forget ‘having this said’ I’ve never said that in all my 65 years. Having said that, is used when you have put your opinion across and then you sort of question your own opinion. Another option is to say ‘on the other hand ‘

Like the other person said, it is rarely used, but in this example I would interpret this as meaning it was restored to as close to its original state as possible, without adding tacky gimmicks or quaint little features.
