XXX, a wholly/fully subsidiary company, had been declared bankrupt two years before Explanation: I may be wrong, but I don't think we can use "declared bankrupt" with "for two years." "To be declared bankrupt" is an event, not a state, while "for two years" is typically [+stative]; hence, the clash. I think you could actually even use "was" instead of "had been," that is, the simple past rather than the past perfect. At any rate, given that there is no more context, It seems to me that "before" is in order here, as the reference time appears to be a past one. If the reference time were "nopw," then you would have to use "ago." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2006-09-07 19:29:58 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "nopw" = "now" --sorry! |
