The goldfish does seem to fit in well.

Yes, he may stay at the lake outside, cause I guess he is too big for an indoor glass container...

[QUOTE=Brynn]What's the problem with the past tense of "buy"?[/QUOTE]
Hah! I read it as 'brought' and thought to myself:
"Wait, you can't say 'I had better brought', that would be incorrect. The present tense of the second verb should be used instead"

What I should have thought was:
"Wait, you can't say 'I had better bought', that would be incorrect. The present tense of the second verb should be used instead"
Then I should have said:

"buy "

I edited my original post so that it makes (more) sense.
In reality, I was just looking for an excuse to use the eng101 smiley. Please forgive me

edit: What, another animal? The heathens are quickly becoming zoo-keepers

What's with all the pets all of a sudden? For once, I find myself agreeing w/Vicsun...oooh dear. This isn't good.

Nah, this may give them digestory problems... lol

Try feeding him the fish food. That'll be grusome enough

Brynn · Post by **Brynn** » Fri Nov 26, 2004 4:51 am

Yeah, that sounds good

But save some fishfood for Beatrix, too, I don't want her to starve

Isn't good? Why? Anyway, we've only got two pets so far, so opening the zoo might be a 50-year plan...

I have no idea what you are saying here but my English is always gramatically correct sir.

He's trying to say that the correct sentence would be: "'I had better buy".

Rob-hin · Post by **Rob-hin** » Fri Nov 26, 2004 6:08 am

Well that's just wrong.

I had better buy indicates that I will do it in the future.
Example: I upset Brynn and she lets me know this. At that moment I think to myself; "I had better (go) buy her some flowers." --> To resolve this situation and thus I go to buy flowers in the future.

"I had better bought her flowers then" Indicates something I had better done instead of what I did.
Example: I bought Brynn a goldfish but she doesn't like it. Later I hear that she likes flowers. So I think to myself; "I had better bought her flowers then". --> I realise afterwards that flowers would have been a better choice then a goldfish.

Just an example naturally. I know you like Beatrix Brynn.

Brynn · Post by **Brynn** » Fri Nov 26, 2004 6:17 am

Well, I just "translated" Vicsun's words to you

But what about "I should've bought flowers" ?

If that's still not correct, I demand a native speaker

Oh yes, I definitely like Beatrix, b/c she's beautiful and quiet

Rob-hin · Post by **Rob-hin** » Fri Nov 26, 2004 6:59 am

I know.

That's correct too. It means the same thing as "I had better bought her flowers".

Or are you simply giving hints that you want flowers?

Brynn · Post by **Brynn** » Fri Nov 26, 2004 11:12 am

Oh no, not at all, I'm happy with the fish
