Елена, а почему wouldn’t, а не didn’t?

Elena Bogomolovaadded a comment 7 years ago

Wouldn't выражает упорное нежелание что-то делать, по-моему, лучше, чем didn't

Alexander Аkimovadded a comment 7 years ago

Не знал. А где посмотреть?

Elena Bogomolovaadded a comment 7 years ago

Да не за что. Люблю эти случаи употребления would 🌝

Я бы не решился, пока до печёнок не дойдёт. Всегда стараюсь применять только то, с чем неоднократно сталкивался. А эти варианты с would никогда не встречал. Забавно, однако.

Al, NOT FOR LONG means that she gave her consent, but then quickly took it away. This doesn't mean the same as NOT FOR A LONG TIME. They're not interchangeable.
