BASIC English and word spelling/sentence structure
Okay and guys/gals...............enough is enough. Some BASIC spelling, and word usage lessons:
two.........the number, as in: "I'll take two pounds of hamburger"........
too........... also........as in: "I'll take some hamburger too".........
were........... were you okay after the party?........
we're..........the contraction of "we are" as in: "we're going to the beach".....
where..........location..........as in "where did you find that USA Today"?......
your........... "do you want to go to YOUR house or mine?"..........(it is NOT you're as that would be: "do you want to go to you are house or mine?")
you're.........the contraction of "you are" as in "you're in BIG trouble".......
there...........a place...........as in "look at the plane over there"..........
they're............the contraction of "they are" as in "they're going flying"........
Maybe this MIGHT help clear up some confusion............
