She (no surprise--she's TWELVE) doesn't know or understand subjunctive mood.<br /><br />I thought her unedited list had great examples and showed some creativity regardless of her young age. Editing it out would have ruined that.Annette Lyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12493583432919249814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9113459088262891680.post-35448003664072198482009-10-20T16:12:31.730-06:002009-10-20T16:12:31.730-06:00Every "what if" was put in the subjuncti...Every "what if" was put in the subjunctive by you except this one: Explain your reason.<br /><br />What if it was always raining?<br /><br />It should be "were" there.

Imagine dating a guy when your parents hate each other. Funny stuff can happen.<br /><br />She's got talent, though. Maybe she'll be a writer, too, someday soon. ;)Lilithashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16533142104140734995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9113459088262891680.post-53888180398762668462009-10-08T17:34:43.464-06:002009-10-08T17:34:43.464-06:00Watch out, Annette.
