Thank you ILD for the above. I've always wondered what some of my family were talking about, especially my sister.
What an attitude! Oh, and say 'copy and paste' or 'copying and pasting' Thanks for posting ILD, made me chuckle
Really? Is that actually grammatically incorrect? To be honest, a lot of posts by ILD recently have really pissed me off so I feel I'm allowed to have a little dig...
Fair enough, I'm sure ILD won't mind! Oh, and yes, I'd say you were confusing verbs and present participles.
My wife was teaching at Bungay.One girl came to her and asked how to spell "Sharpen".She asked the girl what the sentence was that she was using it in. "Last week I went to Naarwich with my mum.We went sharpen"
I used to go to Bungay, it was an all boys grammar school for my first two years, then they admitted girls and we boys really started to learn!
