 will be / is
A candidate in an election says:
"it is an honour to be elected"
of course the present tense can be used to talk about future:
eg the train departs at 7:00 am
but I think the red sentence is wrong, because the person is a candidate, not one who has been elected, so it should be rewritten as:
"it will be an honour to be elected."
what do you think? |
