"What will be, will be". Should you want to look up the        AH> lyrics, the name of this song is QUE SERA, SERA.              No limit for informal speech. Let's try to remove the past tense at all:              "I remember a song from the 1950's in which a woman tells her       children what her mother tells her when she is a little girl..." ;-)              Bye, Ardith!       Alexander Koryagin       english_tutor 2020              ---         * Origin: nntps://news.fidonet.fi (2:221/6.0)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 120/340 601 123/131 221/0 6 226/30 227/114 702       SEEN-BY: 229/101 424 426 664 1014 240/1120 1634 2100 5138 5832 5853       SEEN-BY: 240/8001 8002 8005 249/206 317 261/38 280/5003 313/41 317/3       SEEN-BY: 320/219 322/757 331/313 333/808 335/206 364 370 342/200 382/147       SEEN-BY: 2454/119 4500/1 5020/1042       PATH: 221/6 335/364 240/1120 5832 229/426           |
