Could you please help me with these few sentences?
Could you please help me with these few sentences I'm having trouble with?
- If you want to know where I was at a particular point in time, just take a look at my pay slips.
- I know what it feel like needing to cry. Promise me you'll tell me what you are thinking at all times.
- The money someone might ask you to lend them is in inverse relation to the money you have. The less money you have the more (the) people will ask.
- I posted the transaction under American Express when it was a Debit Card. (can you use POST UNDER SOMETHING?)
Thank you
