Hi ched133
In that sort of context, the word 'sore' is normally only used as an adjective, so you would have to change the verb 'be' to the past tense:
- "My body was so sore from sports last week"
The verb 'to sore' has only an extremely limited and specialized meaning (which the Compact Oxford Dictionary doesn't even bother to mention): "To mutilate the legs or feet of (a horse) in order to induce a particular gait in the animal." http://www.bartleby.com/61/92/S0569200.html http://www.askoxford.com/concise_oed/sore?view=uk . _________________ "Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power." ~ Abraham Lincoln |
