pet peeves from the grammarian

when referring to a person, the word "that" is incorrect. see these examples:

the person THAT does this will get in trouble with the teacher.

the person WHO does this is correct and will receive a gold star.

now, as far as a pet-animal goes, i prefer to use the word "who". use your own discretion.

pet peeves from the grammarian

it seems to me that everyone learned the conjugation of the verb "to be", but maybe i am wrong. i can help!

present tense

i am
you are
he/she/it is
we/they are

past tense

i was
you were
he/she/it was
we/they were

there! that should do it for now.
