Which sentence is correct?

1. Where did I left off on Wednesday? (Past tense)

2. Where did I leave off Wednesday? (Present tense)

3...that is what it says or said (Does said contain an s, saids )

4. This I is how I would have come or came in.

Can the preposition in be at the end of a sentence?

ARCHI

Please correct any grammar mistakes.

Hi Archi,

1 & 2: Remember that when you have a form of the verb "to do" as you do wiht "Where did I..." then you use the bare infinitive of the verb, so "to leave" is just "leave."

Do you want to leave? Where did she leave off? etc.

3. It says is present tense, It said is past tense. No, you never use "saids."

4. I would have - this requires the participle form: come. I am coming home right now, I come here often, Yesterday I came home late, I have come here many times before, I would have come to the party if I had been invited.

Yes, you can have a preposition at the end of a sentence.

Which bin did you look in? I don't know where I fit in.

Use "they" for more than one, and it" for a singular item.

If you don't mind, I'm going to correct some of the other minor errors in your examples.

EX1.  There are a lot of answering machines out of order in the office. They should be replaced by new ones.

EX2.   We own so many CDs we should get rid of them. They should be thrown away. (Can I use the word them in the sentence to refer to the CDs.) - Yes you can. But this says you are getting rid of ALL of them. Do you mean that? Or do you mean "Get rid of some of them"?

EX.3 The book is a good read, but it is hard to understand. - This one is just fine! (You can also say "This book" instead of "The book" if you haven't already just been talking about that book with the person you say this too.)
