Please, help me with my questions
Hi!
Please, is the underlined order below, correct?
"It's a beautiful, big and great museum"
And:
- Is it also correct to write/say "coastal cities" for those that are spotted near the coast ?
- What is the correct verb tense for this sentence:
" I have stayed for four weeks in 2007 and made new friends there."
(or)
"I stayed for four weeks in 2007 and made new friends there."
(In both sentences I believe it's better to omit the preposition "for" to avoid 'cacophony', isn't it?)
Many thanks,
Thammy

Hi Thammy, 1) Please, is the underlined order below, correct? "It's a beautiful, big and great museum" These three make an awkward combination. I think "great" is probably the problem.

Hi Grammar Geek,Many thanks for helping me. By the way I've never seen "fuhfour" before. It means I can write it instead of "for four", isn't it? But I can just say: "I stayed four weeks in 2007 and made new friends there", isn't it ?
Yes, my idea was to say located, sited

Sorry - I didn't mean to confuse you.
I wrote 'furfour' to give you a hint of how it would be pronounced. It's NOT a real word and should never appear in writing except to talk about how people actually say things.
