Whom/whose
Message from amira75 posted on 02-02-2012 at 20:10:04 (D | E | F)
Hello,

Although I did some exercises concerning whom and whose, I always still can't use them correctly.
Please, I really need your help in order to use them correctly.
Thank you very much.

Hello amira75.

Although I'm sure there are many exercises here on this site to help you, I liked the relative pronoun chart at the link below.

I hope you find it helpful.

Hello,

The correct sentence is:
I still cannot use them correctly
The word 'always' has been crossed out.

You could thank sherry as well for the link she mentioned

Hello Lucile83,

Could you please share me the reason, why " I always cannot use them correctly" is incorrect?




Re: Whom/whose from lucile83, posted on 14-02-2012 at 06:15:10 (D | E)
Hello,

We'd say:
I still cannot use them correctly
or
I never can use them correctly

It sounds strange to use 'always' in a negative sentence.

Hello

You can say: I always use them incorrectly. It is really the placement of "always" that is the problem. And Lucile's right: using "always" in a negative sentence sounds a bit strange.

For instance, you could say:

I don't always use them correctly. (This means you use them correctly sometimes)
I cannot always use them correctly. (You are not capable of doing so.)

But this is better: I often use them incorrectly. I don't often use them correctly.

I hope this helps.

Thanks a lot lucile83 and notrepere,

I can determine that the "always" is usually used in the affirmative sentence.
it is rare/never to use it in the negative sentence, it can be used in the negative sentence unless its position stand after the negative word.

Noted for the helpful guidance. :-)

Hello,

I would say : I still can't use them correctly.
