I usually have couldn't answer the questions except for the ones I
wrote, but I *really* can't answer this one.
Q31: 'I've scrabbled up and down embankments of varying sizes on a

Assuming you are expressing a future inability to change past
actions, then according to Dr Streetmentioner's guide it's a
perfectly good tense formation
And I suspect that's appropriate to the question. |

I don't think it'd be giving too much away to say we're looking for a
high-falutin way of describing activities of that type. The sentence was
culled from a specialist forum.

I'm sure the committe might well frequent a specialist forum such as the one
