----- Original Message ----- From: great opportunity - freshhopes@xxxxxxxxxxx Subject: a grammar question Hello.. I need help with the correct grammar of the following sentence as there have been too many different opinions. Although the rock band U2 __________________(perform) occasionally before small audiences in the late 1970s, they ___________________(not have) a major hit album until the 1980s. Thank you for your help. ----------------------------------------------- ** Etni homepage - http://www.etni.org or - http://www.etni.org.il ** ** for help - ask@xxxxxxxx ** ** to post to this list - etni@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** -----------------------------------------------
