Words just rolling off me tongue
#40. A day late, but I managed it. I was supposed to go running yesterday, but a myriad of excuses meant I ended up postponing it. Did just about 20-30 minutes of running today because my knee was funny, it was running, and I wanted to save my mileage coupons and run for slightly longer on Sunday.
Since it's Friday today and I'm wearing my English teacher hat, I shall leave you with this little gem. (Not mine, unfortunately - I'm not that clever.)
Previous week's English Grammar question: By the time I arrived, Tom (use the correct verb form here) his dinner.
James: By the time I arrived, Tom had his dinner. (wrong)
John: By the time I arrived, Tom had had his dinner. (correct)
Can you stomach this?
John - where James had had "had" - had had "had had"; "had had" had had their teacher's approval.
Have have have a good weekend and happy running!
P.S. How about Buffalo?
