    Hi Paul I’d rather say: I would have had to be back by…. (3pm, the following Tuesday)

    This looks like a type 3 conditional which refers to an impossible condition in the past and its probable result in the past. The situation is truly hypothetical and unreal, because it is now too late for the condition or its result to exist.

    Past Perfect conditional or Past perfect continuous conditional If this thing had happened, that thing would have happened.

    If it had rained, you would have gotten wet. You would have gotten wet if it had rained.

    Hi Troye Kaizhuo These adverbs can often be used interchangeably without changing the meaning.

    I still enjoyed the week despite the weather. I still enjoyed the week in spite of the weather. I still enjoyed the week notwithstanding the weather. They went ahead despite public opposition. They went ahead in spite of public opposition. They went ahead, public opposition notwithstanding. Notwithstanding his nervousness, the young man excelled Despite his nervousness, the young man excelled In spite of his nervousness, the young man excelled

    Notwithstanding is an adverb meaning despite anything to the contrary (usually following a concession). Some of its synonyms are: all the same, even so, however, nevertheless, nonetheless, still, yet, regardless of.

    Notwithstanding can also serve as a conjunction, where it means “although,” or “in spite of.” Notwithstanding as a preposition means "in spite of", although, nevertheless; without being opposed or prevented by:

    He still went home, notwithstanding the midnight. The marriage took place notwithstanding his objections. They went ahead, public opposition notwithstanding. She is cheerful in spite of his illness. I like her in spite of her failings. In spite of my efforts, the boy remained passive. She looked lovely, despite her strange apparel. Despite official denials, the rumors still persist. I was sweating a lot despite the air-conditioning.

    Hello Sirgrady KC

    If something is finished quickly or on time, then it's been done in a TIMELY MANNER, OR being timely can also mean being well-timed or doing something at the most appropriate moment, ie: in good time, when expected.

    Example: We will endeavor to fulfill the itinerary of your upcoming trip in a timely manner.

    Warm Regards Livia

    Hi Tingyu Here is some information to help you understand the uses of “will - would”, “can - could” and “shall - should”. Best Regards.

    “WILL” is a modal auxiliary verb, which describes an action that is expected to take place in the future. It modifies many verbs in their future tenses. "Will" is an auxiliary modal verb, which only portrays explicit future actions and showcases someone’s intention of doing something in the future. In certain contexts, WILL and WOULD are virtually INTERCHANGEABLE, but there are differences. “Will” can be used to express willingness; intention (especially in the first person) and prediction “WOULD” is a modal verb and is used in conditionals and for invitations, requests, asking permission, talking about preferences and making arrangements. “Would” is sometimes used as past tense of ‘will’.

    CAN Can and could - Both these verbs indicate ability in some respect. The use of could is usual in clauses that contain a reference to past time. “COULD” can be used to express possibility but with a slightly different connotation from “CAN” “CAN” shows ability – We can have it. “COULD” shows possibility (likely to be true or to happen ) – We could have it. “COULD” is used to express possibility. Something that could happen is not necessarily something that must happen. Could does not express desire or opinion. “Could” is a modal verb and is used in conditionals

    SHALL “Shall” and “Should” are both auxiliaries as well as anomalous finites ‘Shall’ is a modal verb that accompanies first, second, and third-person pronouns and forms a future tense. When used in the second and third-person form, ‘shall’ is used to propose deterministic viewpoints and opinions. ‘Shall’ tells us that an event is going to occur with certainty, while ‘Should’ just assures us that it might happen.

    SHOULD ‘Should’ can be used: To express something that is probable To ask questions To show obligation, give recommendation or even an opinion Simple past tense of shall To express condition

    Hello Subhrasankar,

    It is nice you are trying to use metaphors! Glue in isn't a common term and seems less commonly accepted. You could use another word although we understand your point. What comes to mind are:

    "The car is stuck in the sand" "The car is buried in the sand" "The car is sticking out of the sand"
