[size=17]THE ADVERB 'ONLY' MISPLACED.[/size] DON'T SAY: I only saw him once after that. SAY: I saw him only once after that. 'ONLY' should be placed immediately before/afore the word which it qualifies. (Here, 'only' qualifies the adverb 'once' and not the verb 'saw'. e.g, I slapped Seun Osewa twice for 'only' trying to befriend my girl friend.

PHRASE: 'to be in someone else's shoes' To be in someone else's shoes means to experience something from another's point of view. Examples: If you were in her shoes, you wouldn't have gambled that money away. If I were in your shoes, I think I'd write to her rather than try to explain over the phone. Can you cite an example using this phrase? Give a try! Do share this phrase with your friends and let them try this. |
