* Present tense is better because the boss is concerned about current expenses.
( The boss is bragging about fairness in the past, which continues in the present. Thus present
perfect tense (have given) is best. Note: The always may be placed between the two words of
the verb (have always given) if you wish.
) Will give is correct; will have given implies a deadline.
- The boss is talking about the present and future, not the past, so showed is inappropriate. Go
with the present tense form, show.
_ No need for progressive here, because the boss wants to tell the underlings when the investigation
will end, not when it will be going on.
= You’re expressing a real possibility here, so will or may works well. The helper will is more definite.
May leaves a little wiggle room.
