I came across many difficulties, but he supported me__ through/ throughout/ all the way "All the way" sounds natural to me. I'm not quite sure though. Thank you! ahava_yin Joined on Thu, Sep 9 2004 Full Member 335 Hi, I'm learning English. Your notes help me a lot. I love the forum.

	ahava_yin  +  501285 Wed, 16 Apr 08 05:30 AM Thank you. I found in thefreedictionary the following explaination. During the entire time or extent: Though unsure how her speech would be received, she remained calm and professional throughout. In this sense, the sentence I'm bothering with could be "he supported me throughout" Is it too awkward that you seldom use? Thank you hm();Sources=Sources | 2; ahava_yin
