Education & Reference - 27 December 2006

Hi,

I sometimes see sentences like

The minister has said that the tax will increase by 3%
(The present perfect followed by the future tense)

I don't understand why this is possible. As I understand it, the minister has said something so it happened in the past. why the future tense is used in this sentence. Can I write

The minister has said that the tax would increase by 3% instead.


Which one of the following two sentences is correct and why?

She has told me that she buys the car.
She has told me that she brought the car.

I need a song that has seven (7) modals used in its lyrics. The modals may be the same, but all seven of them must have a different use. (Ex. One modal that states a possibility, another for stating an obligation or duty.)

I've tried the song, "I Won't Last A Day Without You" by The Carpenters, but I'm not really that sure with it. If possible, you can also verify if this song is correct.
