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.

Is it "Mountain man" or two capital M's?
Say the sentence is, "The Mountain man tracked the bear." Can you explain why it's capitalized or spelled that way?

In my use of Yahoo! Answers it has come to my attention that people seem to be using the term "troll" to describe users that exhibit two different kinds of behavior. That is, I think that people use the word "troll" to talk about two different things. What would be your definition of "troll", in the Yahoo! Answers context? I'd like to see if two different definitions indeed come up.
