Grammar
Hi everyone, appreciate your help on these questions --
- What's the reason why we would say
‘Can you show me where the school is?’ instead of ‘Can you show me where is the school?’
- In writing, when we say 'Tom was dishonest but he was my friend too.' --> does this mean Tom is no longer the writer's friend at the time of speech?
- Do we say 'Gentle breezes were blowing against their face or faces.' ?
- For placement of the apostrophe, did I use it correctly?
He was determined to put an end to Eric and Alex’s taunts.
- Is this sentence structure correct? --
He asked, “Is this your wallet?” while pointing to the wallet.
- Which article do we use? --
An / A ear-deafening scream
Thanks for your help!
