	Grammar Geek  #512786  Mon, 12 May 08 01:51 PM No. She places/puts the grociers into the boot. She carries the groceries into the house. If you carry something somewhere, it's in your hands the whole time.    Grammar Geek Joined on Tue, Jan 10 2006 Pennsylvania, USA Veteran Member (15,567) Barbara, who answers in American English.
