Knack Gets Cracked

This chapter actually has brief nudity in it!

So that's a bit of a first.

Happy timezones! How are you doing today?

I have a grammatical question for native English speakers here (or anyone else who can help). I want to use a sentence He must have noticed it in my story. But like most stories, my story is told in past tense, so I felt like this sentence should be put futher into the past, too. But must has no past tense and it's a modal verb so have needs to stay in infinitive. So what should I do? Just leave it in present tense? I don't know why, but He had to have noticed doesn't sound quite right

I hope it's okay that I asked, I know it's slightly off topic

Thank you any help, though.

@CharmingMaruska Haha believe it or not, "He had to have noticed" is perfectly fine English

That's the way I'd say it if it came up in my story. But there definitely could be a better way that someone else might think of

Thanks, @CitizenErased14 ! My last English lesson was 5 years ago, so I struggle with grammar a lot - and sometimes, grammatically correct sentences just don't have the right ring to them

No native speaker here, but you might dodge that awkward expression with another, if your story is told in a more personal way. You could say "He had definitely noticed" or "Surely, he had noticed". It's a bit weaker than the "must" (at least for me, studying British English) but it might sound a little bit less ... complicated?

I really like that! It flows better than had to have been. Sadly, I used definitely one sentence before

But thank you both for your help, you gave me options I can work with!

Finally finished Friend of the World! Super-Skiller Sim is now a YA in the business career and I'll have him work on alternating between Fabulously Wealthy and either Painter Extraordinaire or Bodybuilder. Maybe Leader of the Pack? Who knows. Once I figure out how to screenshot his stats in-game I'll upload a pic of his trait list and his skills list.

PurplishSimEater · September 2017

Super-Skiller has finished Bodybuilder and is on Level 2 of Painter Extraordinaire and Fabulously Wealthy. He's also working on Leader of the Pack but I forget what level he is there.

As part of Fresh Start Saturday, I played three saves last night and tonight that I haven't played for ages! Almost played a fourth (Freezer Bunny Dating Service), but I decided to do some writing on one of the stories instead, bringing it out of hiatus. Do you remember Wonder? Here's the latest update!

I put my Duckson Legacy on a short hiatus... but that doesn't mean Bucky won't write poems to people! He's itching for requests!!!
