When to use "to" vs "too"
really!? I don't think this is an advanced grammar skill people. that said, MoCo schools no longer care if your children use proper grammar and/or spell correctly. So we are creating a larger society of grammar-idiots. Back in MY day...... |

And every time I try to correct my DH on this, he thinks I'm wrong. Then again, he's from Texas and says NEW-Q-LER in stead of NEW-CLEAR

That's a myth. My undergraduate degree is in the Classics (Latin/Greek) and this 'rule' about prepositions is based in the Latin rules of grammar. English isn't Latin. http://blog.oxforddictionaries.com/2011/11/grammar-myths-prepositions/ |

There. I feel better now. |

How can he think you're wrong? This is a very simple grammar rule. Adverbs, not adjectives, modify verbs. Run quickly. Sweep carefully. Walk slowly. Drive safely. You've married a moron. |
