. I would do this:
1: "I just take a cup of tea in the morning, not during the day." 2: "It was my mistake sending you a text message"
3: "Today he asked me if he loved you'' It's grammatically correct, but it refers to the past.-- Not necessarily true. I think Native English speakers use "Today he asked me if he love you'' in spoken English'' Am I right?-- No, native speakers usually regress the verb; context reveals the time of the love. . _________________ Native English teacher at Mister Micawber's |

Hi MM,
It was my mistake to send you a text message.
Is it grammatically wrong? I think I've heard people saying this. _________________ Non-native speaker of English

. It sounds odd. Actually, I am not happy with mine either. What I much prefer is: 'My mistake was sending you a text message' or 'Sending you a text message was my mistake'. . _________________ Native English teacher at Mister Micawber's |

. 1: Has anything like this ever happened to you? A friend of yours stopped coming online at MSN and when you tried to phone, it was disconnected. 2: I tried to phone him 3 days after our last chat. 3: He would certainly have let me know if he had changed his number. . _________________ Native English teacher at Mister Micawber's |
