I think the best way would be just to know what's right.. For example their refers to possession or ownership e.g. "That's their dog" there refers to a place e.g "Hey you, go over there" or "There's a place I'd like to go" they're is conjunction of "They are" e.g. They're acting like such idiots
Where also refers to a place e.g. "This is where I grew up" Were is the past tense of are e.g. "We were going to go but then it rained" We're is a conjunction of "we are" e.g. "We're going but we might be a little late" I'm no English grad or anything like that but that's how I know them.. hopefully it'll help On 8/2/07, Paul Ihrig <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > yeh i word 2007 > it just underlines every thing in my resume as fragmented sentences. > > On 8/1/07, Jim Davis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > -----Original Message----- > > > From: Dana [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > Sent: Wednesday, August 01, 2007 7:16 PM > > > To: CF-Community > > > Subject: Re: grammar > > > > > > what version of Word are you running?
