each

I would have written it with the comma, Taka.

Right, GG.
So you think grammatically, it's different from these 'each's:
·The apartments each have their own private entrances.
·They each have their own room.
and structually, it's the same kind as this one?
·They were fast asleep,

That's how I read it.

Like:

There were three kittens in the box, and each kitten had a bow. = There were three kittens in the box, each with a bow.

Glad I read it the same way as you did, GG. Thanks.
But does it mean that in reality some people wouldn't use commas, like these?
·They were fast asleep all of them knowing nothing about what had happened.
·There were three kittens in the box each with a bow.

Heaven only knows what some people will do!

Me? I would put the commas.

LOL Great answer, GG!!!

By the way, Did you do it on purpose, swapping the positions of Heaven and only?

For some reason, I would write it as "Only heaven knows ..." Please advise.

HAHA... I didn't know he participated in another forum! Does he think there aren't enough questions here to keep him busy? I must join forces with Vincent to come up with more questions.

Only he...
