Use the word Somewhere Tue May 02, 2006 16:56 pm  Use the word Somewhere
 

Hi!. It?s me again!Fine? I hope so

A Wife to her friend:

"My husband told me the camera was nowhere
but I do know it?s SOMEWHERE ?cause
you gave it to me at home last night"

1.- Is "Somewhere" used correctly here? Sometimes
i think I need an object, something like
"somewhere in here". I am not sure. Help me!

2.- What if I omit "somewhere"... Can I?

"My husband told me the camera was
nowhere but I do know it is ?cause
you gave it to me at home last night"

Thanks a million!

Enjoy yourself!

Hi Jesus

You sure do ask a wide variety of questions! Sometimes I get the feeling that you write stories everyday and that the stories are about every possible topic imaginable.. Is that what you do?

Anyway, about your questions:

Jesus wrote:

1.- Is "Somewhere" used correctly here? Sometimes
i think I need an object, something like
"somewhere in here". I am not sure. Help me!

You could write 'in here' or 'in the house' but you don't have to. You could also say something like 'it's somewhere around here.'

Jesus wrote:

"My husband told me the camera was
nowhere but I do know it is ?cause

No, Jesus, you cannot omit the word 'somewhere' in this case.

Hi, Amy! Thanks a lot!. Well, I really love Literature but
I don?t write Stories. In English, I mean. Je je. I write them in Spanish ?cause I think it?d take me a long time to get what I am trying to say. And, of course, I?d make lots of
mistakes, you know. But sometimes, just sometimes, I write some kind of songs and ask about what I think It can
be wrong. So, I really appreciate your help a lot. I?m studying English as well ?cause I like it very much and I would like to pass the
exams at university but I?m afraid it?s going to be quite difficult ?cause It?s been a long time since I gave it up.
I am really afraid of oral exams. Sometimes I think it?s
like a trauma. But, well...

THanks indeed!

Nite-nite

Have a marvelous day tomorrow!
