Dear friends,
In an exercise, my students have a problem and I can �t help them. They have to rewrite this sentence using "having":
"Of course I didn �t give them your phone number," she said to me.
How can we do it? Why?
Thank you in advance! |

How about this? Of course I didn �t want them having your phone number. This sounds ok to me, but "I didn �t want them to have" is more formal and sounds more elegant. |

Are you allowed to add more words? If so: Of course I didn �t give them your phone number without having your permission. Of course I didn �t give them your phone number without having checked with you first. |

I deny having given them your phone number (?) |
