Quote from: "Lilou"Quote from: "PeaceLoveHappiness"I see that both Taj and Omer commented on the video on youtube.I saw the comments on youtubeTajJackson il y a 1 jour 6 This video sums up my uncle perfectly. There will never be another one like him. He will truly be missed. Thank you for creating this video. I absolutely love itplease help me and tell me if we can say "He will truly be missed" ?In french we can't,it means he is not gone yet and the day he will die,he will be missed.Is it strange in English??Technically, you're right. In English, saying "he will" refers to something in the future (just like Taj saying, "There will never be another one like him.") But this is also a common phrase that people say when talking about someone who's died. I think it's just become a cultural norm. Maybe they should say, "He will truly be missed forever" but they drop the forever part because it's implied.To get to the heart of your question, though...I think grammatically speaking, Taj is referring to the future. However, conversationally his statement is open to interpretation.I hope that helps. If anyone sees it differently, please feel free to correct me.

Yeah I found it interesting that he used was/is innocent. I was like how come he didn't just say was innocent. When you use the word is that's referring to the present tense. I haven't seen the article yet but it must be pretty nasty because Taj seem really upset. I don't blame him though.

I believe he use the was/is innocent. Is meaning still innocent nothing to do with a hoax. You guy sometimes should read between the lines and learn to metitate on what is being said and how it is being said and what it is in reference to.
