If that bridge existed 500 years ago we should write:              "it is a mirror of the original land bridge that (had) connected the island to       the mainland more than 500 years ago."              I can't understand the sense of "would have connected" in "the bridge that       would have connected the island to the mainland more than 500 years ago."              Bye, ALL!       Alexander Koryagin              ---        * Origin: nntps://fidonews.mine.nu - Lake Ylo - Finland (2:221/360.0)       SEEN-BY: 1/19 123 15/2 16/0 120/544 123/130 131 203/0 221/1 6 360       SEEN-BY: 226/17 227/114 229/354 426 1014 240/1120 2100 5138 5832 5853       SEEN-BY: 249/206 317 261/38 280/5003 317/3 320/119 219 322/0 757 342/200       SEEN-BY: 640/1384 2454/119       PATH: 221/1 320/219 240/5832 229/426           |
