Means you are right! Thanks a lot! Can you think of a context where some other person than 'they' can be used in that subjunctive phrase? Is the following possible? - Do you want me to get you a pet, be it a cat, a dog, or a turtle? Or should 'be they' be used again instead?http://www.englishforums.com/English/WhatsMeaningAffirmationGiveContext/lgwvq/post.htmFri, 23 Oct 2009 11:55:18 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:950605alessandro ainaHi everybody, I was wathcing this video on youtube ( ) when i red this: "Nice English accent!

Do you have a list of words to learn? I think the best way is to learn related words together. Synonyms and opposites are obvious relationships. Also put words together that are related to a particular subject. Make sentences about a fun topic using the words you have picked. Put these sentences and words on flash cards and carry them with you. It's best to study in many short sessions. Your brain will get tired after a long study session. Practice with friends. You will have to use a word at least 20 times to learn it. Some words will be harder - these I call "devilish words." Understand your most effective learning style.

Definitely not a hambag, nor even a hembeg. Substitute the Northern English vowel sound into it, then go just a touch nearer Dame Edith's, and it's near enough to mine.

Did you know Obama is in favor of attacking and/or invading Pakistan? If Obama gets elected, we'll get stuck in a bigger swamp. Afghanistan, Iraq, and Pakistan.
