I CAN ASSURE YOU THERE WILL BE NO MORE SLIP UPS IN THE FUTURE: Mr. Jackson: Ms. Simpson I just wanted to check in with you personally to make sure that the shipment got through to you alright, no problems, right?
Ms. Simpson: Yes Mr. Jackson, everything's A okay here. The shipment showed up yesterday afternoon, everything seems in order.
Mr. Jackson: That's good to hear. I just like to apologize once again for the screw up with the previous shipment. I can assure you there will be no more slip ups in the future.
Ms. Simpson: Well with our two companies' relationship over the past decade, I knew the situation will be taken care of quickly.
Mr. Jackson: Exactly Ms. Simpson, we both prospered with each other over the years, there will be no more problems, you can take that to the bank.
Ms. Simpson: That's music to my ears Mr. Jackson. I'll be talking to you around this time next month then.

Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정
Common mistakes Korean speakers make.
한국인이 자주 하는 실수를 알아봅시다.
한국어에서는 '~할 것이다'라는 표현이 과거·현재 구분 없이 비슷하게 쓰이지만, 영어에서는 과거 시제 문장(knew) 뒤에 오는 종속절도 과거형으로 맞춰야 합니다. 이것을 '시제 일치(sequence of tenses)'라고 합니다. 따라서 "I knew" 다음에는 "will"이 아닌 "would"를 사용해야 자연스럽고 문법적으로 정확한 문장이 됩니다.
