Thanks.     Angliholic Joined on Wed, Feb 14 2007 SomewhereinFormosa Veteran Member 6,474 Without true love, life is meaningless and worthless since our physical world is nothing but a dream. ~~Angliholic~~簡瑞達

Fed the food means they put food inside your mouth with there own soft hands no one is that lucky got it Creativeguru Joined on Fri, Feb 8 2008 India Regular Member 812

Normally, he's grumpy when he's hungry and tired. I already fed him. Maybe it's because my mom has overstayed her welcome.

	Grammar Geek  +  505844 Sat, 26 Apr 08 10:53 PM I agree, N2G, it will depend on context. It took me two hours to feed the baby! - Yes, that would be actually putting the food in the baby's mouth. I'm having company unexpectedly for dinner, and I have no idea what I will feed them! - That refers, of course, to the food you will put on the table. It is expected that they will perform the actual act of eating without assistance from me. Grammar Geek Joined on Tue, Jan 10 2006 Veteran Member 19,673 Barbara, who answers in American English.
