    The or not The
    Message de zombiestomp posté le 03-07-2011 à 15:08:49 (S | E | F)
    Hello,

    Can you tell me if this sentence is correct?
    --> "The past is gone and future seems so wrong" <--

    I know that "the future" would be more appropriated but it's a sentence for a song, and I'd like to know if it could be "ok". Does it sound correct to you? Is the "the" necessary?

    Regards;

    Hi,
    I think your sentence may be correct for a song :there are so many songs with a so approximate English !
    good luck.

    Hello

    A mon avis, il faut le 'the'.

    Hi zombiestomp! (What a good dance name that could be! )

    I know that many songs eliminate words...but since you started the sentence with "The past," not having "the" before future sounds odd.

    Sometimes, though, I've heard songs in which a sentence had no articles at all!

    Perhaps if you wrote... "Past is gone, future seems so wrong..."

    Good luck!
