It was he who messed up everything. Also, when the word "who" is present and refers to a personal pronoun, such as "he," it takes the verb that agrees with that pronoun. Correct: It is I who ...

2012年2月23日 · He's angry. He's been angry. But the third one is incorrect. You cannot shorten "he has a house" to "he's a house." You can only shorten "he has got a house" to "he's got a house." [Again, note what @Optimal Cynic claims] More examples: Correct: I have an apple. Correct: I have got an apple. Correct: I've got an apple. Incorrect: I've an apple.

2011年6月19日 · Further discussion including specific arguments against 'purportedly sex-neutral he' and 'she' is found on pp. 491-495, noting they are often systematically avoided for good reasons, and marking them with the % sign ('grammatical in some dialect(s) only'). It also offers further avoidance strategies, including plural and first-person antecedents.

He doesn't eat meat. He don't eat meat. And remove the contraction: He does not eat meat. He do not eat meat. Now we can see very clearly that the latter is grammatically incorrect. Whether you should use doesn't or don't depends on whether the subject is singular or plural: He doesn't speak French. They don't speak French.

1 - It is "Why did he not come to work?" 2 -The shortened form is "Why didn't he come to work?" This is something that confuses learners. But almost everybody discovers by reading that in the long form (1) "did" and "not" don't stand together. Everybody has to learn this except Germans who say it in the same way. I mean the long form.

Examples: "He is married". (The state of being married) "He was married in the late summer 10 years ago". (The celebration of the transition from unmarried to married) "He was married" (More ambiguous, but most likely he's no longer alive, his partner is no longer alive, or he is divorced, etc. Unless you specify a specific time it most likely ...

2015年5月8日 · "He comes from a good home." "Canada is the home of cajun cooking." Airport is always used with an article. "Take me to the airport."
