Aug 31	accepted	Is the usage 'was to have done' correct
Aug 31	comment	Is the usage 'was to have done' correct Thanks for the detailed answer. At a semantic level, I don't see the construct is trying to convey a sense of perfection, so 'to turn them down on the tour, which was to include ...' sounds more natural. Contrast to for example 'The tour, which was to have included the testing labs was canceled midway'.

Aug 10	comment	Where can I find sorted word lists used by native students? @Martha: "because it's impossible to keep any answers accurate/relevant over the long run" - if you applied that criterion to Stackoverflow, it would be wiped out in whole because of the rapid pace of technology. Any question/answer has temporal validity attached to it - why do you want to keep things accurate/relevant over the long run - and how long exactly is long run.
