Hi Ridcully,


What should be the correct punctuation (in red) for this sentence?

\"Children, don't leave your pencils on the floor ./, \" said Mrs Tan.

The answer sheet says it shld be a comma. Is it? Why? It's just one statement without any continuation.

Thanks Ridcully, for the detailed answer!

Hi, I'm confused about the usage of \"I\" and \"me\". For example:


The pop star gave autographed pictures to my brother and _____.

Should the word in the blank be \"I\" or \"me\"? Why? In what cases are \"I\" and \"me\" used?

Thanks

Thanks, iFruit, for the link on that very informative website! I got the answer now, has to be "had stayed", according to the explanation on that website. Now know how to explain the difference btw has____and had ___ to my kid.


Thanks too Tianzhu!

Actually, the answer booklet states "had stayed". But why? I find it hard to explain the difference between had ____and has _____.


Can an expert here help out?
