Hi,
This may be a stupid question as I am asking a very basic grammar rule but I need to understand this so please help me.
Source OG 12

As its sales of computer products have surpassed those of measuring instruments, the company has become increasingly willing to compete for the mass market sales it would in the past have conceded to rivals.

I was able to choose the correct answer but I have a different question here.

Subordinate Clause: As its sales of computer products have surpassed those of measuring instruments
Main Clause: the company has become increasingly willing to compete for the mass market sales

Extra clause/Dependent: it would in the past have conceded to rivals.

My question is how the main clause and extra/dependent clause are joined without any subordinate conjunction such as that etc.


Please help

"As its sales of computer products have surpassed those of measuring instruments, the company has become increasingly willing to compete for the mass market sales it would in the past have conceded to rivals".


My question: according to the rules of present perfect tense, the sentence should end with "it would in the past has conceded to rivals", because 'the company' is singular.
"Commitment is more than just wishing for the right conditions. Commitment is working with what you have."

My question: according to the rules of present perfect tense, the sentence should end with "it would in the past has conceded to rivals", because 'the company' is singular.
There are 13 modal auxiliaries:

shall, should, will, would, can, could, may, might, must, ought to, used to, dare, need.

The rules of modal auxiliaries:

1. Modal auxiliaries cannot add suffixes after them :

Can + ING =Canning --NOT CORRECT.
May+ Ed = mayed---NOT correct.

2. Modal auxiliaries can take ONLY the base form of verb:

I can write.

I can wrote.----------NOT correct.

So, I would finally have done the work if they helped me.

Have is the base form of the verb "HAVE".

Therefore, after the modal verb 'WOULD" we should use "Would + Have"

These are very basic things of grammar.

thanks.
