When it was discovered what? Can't get the meaning of the sentence's end. Spider-Man would confront him in the following issue, when Brock reveals that he was a Daily Globe reporter who worked on the Sin-Eater case, and that his career was ruined when it was discovered that the man Brock announced as the Sin-Eater was a compulsive confessor.

Please check tenses in that dialog A: Hi! Sorry I'm late. B: What kept you? A: I came on the bus and it was stuck in a traffic jam for forty minutes. B: Why didn't you just walk across the park as usual? A: Because the park has been closed since last weekend B: Why's that? A: A film is being shot there B: Do you know who it is directed by? A: No, but I think Leonardo DiCaprio is in it. Someone told me he had been seen at the Royal Hotel at the weekend B: Really? A: Yeah. He had flown here in a private plane by the film company B: Well, if it's true, we're not going to the disco at the Royal this Friday A: Why not? B: If he's there, the hotel is surrounded by fans and security guards A: But we might meet him if we go B: Don't be silly. He won't be at the disco. And we certainly won't be invited to his room A: I suppose not. But we can go to the park gate now and see what's happening. Perhaps we will be asked to act in a crowd scene. I heard that some local people had been employed as extras yesterday, but I was too busy to go. B: OK, if you want to. But I don't think we are allowed anywhere near the filming

What are meanings of the word "ever" and phrase "faint check"? Poirot said slowly: "An old woman of the name of Ascher who keeps a little tobacco and newspaper shop has been found murdered." I think I felt ever so slightly damped. My interest, quickened by the sound of Andover, suffered a faint check. I had expected something fantastic — out of the way! The murder of an old woman who kept a little tobacco shop seemed, somehow, sordid and uninteresting.

Perfect tense in second conditional Can I use somehow perfect tense in second conditional, like: If you hadn't signed this paper, we wouldn't have such a problem now. I mean, doesn't "hadn't" indicate here that it is the third conditional and brings some embarrassment? EDIT] Ok, thanks to Phil, I've found the solution. Mixed conditional (third + second) is my case. So my first sentence was perfectly wellt: If you hadn't signed that paper, we wouldn't have such a problem now.

"50.00$ was taken from the hotel safe" - why "was" and not "were"? "50.000$ was taken from the hotel safe" - why "was" and not "were"?

Question about phrase "is said to be" In this sentence I can use a past tense: It is reported that two people were injured in the explosion. But can I use it somehow in paraphrased one: Two people are reported to be (were?) injured in the explosion.

Confirm or refute my assumptions please. From the Poirot's book: "It was his opinion that she had been standing with her back to the counter (and therefore to her assailant) when the blow had been struck." Is it the rule to use past perfect continuous + past perfect in such a case ("It was")? Can I use here past continuous + past simple instead?
