Since you have modified them (that I wish could be bottled), you must use them. Sorry, I should have been more explicit earlier. Without the modification, they should be omitted.

I see. So I understand that without the modification they should be omitted, and with the modification they must be used. Would that be correct?

Hi teacher, I really don't know why I do this. I like to confirm things, and I think I have OCD, maybe! I will try to not do this so often. Thanks for confirming and for putting up with me
