00:08

retain their value Unlike these baseball cards Yeah sadly All

00:12

right check out the following company memo right there Having

00:15

time to read this thing Uh this by william shakespeare

00:19

Did he write this Wait No writing something good Sorry

00:22

00:31

right here the company blank That branch that donates the

00:34

got to consider tenses meaning when did the company make

01:20

this announcement Well they're not making this announcement in the

01:23

future that wouldn't make a whole lot of sense The

01:25

past perfect tense had also doesn't make grammatical sense here

01:30

this's something happening in the present like that test we

01:33

overslept for and it's going on right now so we

01:38

need to choose a singular verb in the present which

01:40

makes a has also announced the correct answer here's to

01:45

working collectively to get through this problem but back to

01:47

our other problem these baseball cards and seriously if they 00:01:50.249 --> [endTime] worth anything
