So anyway guys.....if you have questions.....just please ask.........and if you find I have made a mistake........forgive me......and ask.......I am certainly not fallible and I will transfer it wrong.......Take care All.......I appreciate each and every one!!!!!!!
Evangelina I loved your sentence using The Word of the Day!!!! If you would have switched your answers 2 and 3 with each other.....it would have been correct........and on number 5.....you thought as Knight did. I can see how you would figure.......but as I felt however could be used also......I asked Rys about it.......and he explained it this way.......depends on what English you are using.....be it American or British.........to me.....though was a good one.....but I was also thinking however was not so bad either......LOL.......So either one will work!!!!!!.....Yea Rys!!!!!!!!!....Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!! Hey Knight you see this!!!!??????.....rofl.......It is A OKAY!!!!!
Oh geez....sorry I found a mistake on my part.......on sentence 3.......the answer would be (A)....only........SORRY SORRY......I was in to big of a hurry to get this posted for you......!!!!!!
Sorry White......posted before I finished my statement........a clue that would have told you that "though" was the best word.......would have been noticing the punctuation.......if however had been correct it would have a comma before it and after it.......a little trick to remember.
White Knight.....and you are correct.....but....let me show you something.......
