His knee was bleeding because it was cut by a small rock in the park. When we reached there, we saw the stadium was crowded with people. After waiting for 20 minutes, the football players came out to the field. At that moment, the spectoters were cheering and showing support for their favourite teams.

	WesternAmerican  +  411345 Wed, 29 Aug 07 10:06 PM Greetings Feebs and Teo, 6. At that moment, the spectators ..... Feebs, with respect to one of your emendations--Would you consider 'came out to the field' uncommon and not natural? Does it make that much of a difference whether I use 'to' or 'onto' in that context? Thanks in advance, WA WesternAmerican Joined on Wed, Jun 6 2007 Israel Full Member 393 I will REALLY appreciate any corrections to my posts, whether it be grammar, glossary, or just something that could elevate my style. Thank you.

To come to the field implies that they have arrived at the field, whereas to come onto the field tell you that the teams are on the field ready to play. Just to confuse you more, I would prefer "pitch" to field" for football [soccer]. Feebs11 Football
