	Vincent Teo  +  699025 Sun, 19 Apr 09 12:19 PM Thanks. But, I thought "beside the window" is incorrect, what do you think? It's weird. P/s: Why don't we say, "... hanging outside near the window" . Vincent Teo

	Mister Micawber  +  699027 Sun, 19 Apr 09 12:30 PM . You  can hang a birdcage (given the right fixtures) in many positions vis-a-vis a window.  I see nothing wrong with any sentences I have not marked so. . Mister Micawber Sentences
