ways" "somswheres. There's plenty
Of places"
The contraction don't" for do not"
should never be used with a singular
noun or pronoun. II is correct to say
He does not" and not He don't" II
is important 20 remember the objective
form Of the first person singular when a
noun or pronoun or two pronouns fol-
low verb, and not to say Ethel asked
Mary and TO CO." but Ethel asked
Mary and me to go" II one is confused
about the use Of pronouns in a sentence
Of this sort an easy rule is to separate
them and use each one with the verb,
thus: ETHEL asked Mary" and ETHEL
asked me" In this way the grammati-
cal form is seen.
It Is correct 20 say "A summer day."
not "A summers day" "Cut the apple
In two or Tin halves" not Cut the
apple in half" II cut the ribbon of
this piece" not 'off Of this piece" "The
child threw It on the floor" not onto
the floor"
whether" is a word that indicates q
choice Of things and should not be
placed at the head OF each part Of a
sentence. For instance. It is incorrect
to repeat IL thus: II have not decided
whether shall go to Boston or whether
shall stay at home"

careless habits Of speech have

rect them will lead TO good results.
Many persons who consider them
selves well educated make the mistake
Of using the partioiple got" In connee-

say: Have you got the key?" who
has got my book" instead OF Have
you the key?" who has my book?"
Mistakes OF everyday occurrence are.
"Who did you give it to-" who is this
for?" instead Of the correct expressions,
ITO whom did you give it?" For whom
is this?"
Frequently one hears these errors in
grammar: Il intended to have bought
pair Of gloves" instead of Il intended
to buy pair Of gloves" 1T was no use
asking him" instead OF at was no use
to ask him." Try and persuade her to
go" instead of Try to persuade her to
go"
II would seem unnecessary to tell any
one not to use the present tense in
stead of the past tense when mentionins
what another has said. yet a careless
person may be heard saying, He says"
instead Of HE said
other faults are to say - great
