To make it more explicit/clear that ...Hi Kumi-san,<br /><br />To make it more explicit/clear that he must not go to school until Friday as mandated/decreed by School Health Law, I would use the following sentence:<br /><br />He will (not be able to go to/be forbidden from going to) school until Friday as this is (decreed/mandated/laid down/set out) by School Health Law.<br /><br />You could also say:<br /><br />But he will not be allowed to go to school until Friday as mandated by School Health Law.<br /><br />In the original sentence I used the word rules. Rules can translate to meaning laws.<br /><br />Hope this helps, if I misunderstand then please let me know.Terry Wallworkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15175573589082853160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8652020746892759821.post-32292107871852635832016-01-19T21:31:12.425-05:002016-01-19T21:31:12.425-05:00Thank you Terry!
