Grammar
All my teachers
1-I want to thank all my teachers.
2-I want to thank all my teachers over the years.
3-I want to thank all my past teachers.
4-I want to thank all those who have been my teacher at one point in time.
5-I want to thank all my teachers, past and present.
Are all the above sentences correct?
Can "1" be used if one is thanking the teachers one had in the past or does it only mean one is thanking those who are one's teachers now?
I don't think one would say: "I talked to all my wives." unless one was polygamous, but "1" seems OK even if it is said by someone who is thanking the teachers they had in the past.
Gratefully,
Navi.
