Q: O que significa event up (I don’t know the difference between event up and event)?
A: oh that just means you did an event in Vancouver. Up is just used to show a direction of travel but If it is south you can say down. It’s not needed to make the sentence correct, just adds to the sentence.
You can also say “I went up to Vancouver for an event” or “I went to Vancouver for an event.” It still has the same meaning. “I went down to the river” “I went to the river” “You went up to the store” “you went to the store” all these sentences are correct. Hope that helps!

Q: O que significa “railroad” the event?
A: We use "railroad" when someone is trying to force something to happen.

For example, the people at this conference have an agenda that they want to follow. However, this speaker wants to follow a different agenda.

She may ignore their requests for answers, or may forcefully try to move on to different topics. In this way, it is as if she is taking over the event. So the other speaker says that he will not allow her to railroad the event.

Q: Como é que se diz isto em Inglês (EUA)? The event was to be scheduled to take place on June.

Can anyone explain what it means?
A: Ah! "was to be scheduled" means that it was planned but it didn't happen. "was scheduled" could mean both but the first meaning would be it was scheduled and it happened. I'm not 100% entirely sure. But that's what I think. But I also think they are the same just "was to be scheduled" seems more formal. 😂

Q: When you are referring to an event described in a novel, do you use present tense or past tense?
For example, which one is correct?:
"In the novel Harry Potter, the Order of the Phoenix fights against the Death Eaters."
"In the novel Harry Potter, the Order of the Phoenix fought against the Death Eaters."

Moreover, if it's correct to use present tense in the above example, does this override the rule of verb tense consistency?
I.e., which one is correct?:
"When I first read the novel Harry Potter, I was mesmerized by how the Order of the Phoenix fought against the Death Eaters."
"When I first read the novel Harry Potter, I was mesmerized by how the Order of the Phoenix fights against the Death Eaters."
A:

Good question.

A novel is something which exists permanently, outside of time, so when you talk about it you should technically use the timeless aspect, which for all intents resembles the present tense.

However, this changes when you talk about your particular experience of the book. When you say –

When I first read the novel Harry Potter, I was mesmerized by how the Order of the Phoenix fought against the Death Eaters

– You are harmonising the tense of what happens in the book in order to match your experience of it, which happened in the past. That’s fine – nobody is going to become confused about what did or didn’t happen in the book.
