A mere verbal statement is no guarantee, and a written statement should be preferred. Explanation: No matter what sentence is, it should be considered with its context. For this sentence, if it is in a formal law case, maybe should be formed in a very official one; if it is used in a common dialog, maybe, we can treat it more colloquial. Thus, it is really hard to give a proper suggestion here. You can make comprehensive selection based on your own understanding about the source material as well as by referring the suggestions given here by other friends. |
