BACK INTO ENGLISH
Suppose the fork didn't come at 8 a.m.
INTO JAPANESE
フォークが午前8時に来なかったとします。
BACK INTO ENGLISH
Suppose the fork didn't come at eight in the morning.
INTO JAPANESE
フォークが朝8時に来なかったとします。
BACK INTO ENGLISH
Suppose the fork didn't come at eight in the morning.
That didn't even make that much sense in English.
