If you carry on like that, I'll have had a heart attack by the time I'm 30! Explanation: Infart = heart attack. The phrasing is quite colloquial and sounds like dialogue. Good luck. |

If you carry on like this I will have a heart attack before I'm 30. Explanation: I have written I will and not I'll as the word si is there for emphasis. This is colloquial language and unlikely to be found in a medical report. |
