Continuing with Gary’s list:
- The market begins five minutes earlier this week.
I had to think about this one. I was wondering how to express “begins”. “goes to open?” “starts to go”? Eventually I settled on “starts to be made”. Early or earlier (they’re the same pragmatically in this sentence) was no issue, but earlier by five minutes (or some other measure of time) was difficult. I came up with something but I am not sure I like it.
