With a crayon? #4 (permalink) Mon Jun 19, 2006 6:53 am   With a crayon?
 

These are sentences I wrote

1. Please write in ink, if not your exam will not be graded.
2. I think the picture will be more pleasant when we colour with a brush rather than with a pencil.

They might not sound refined as they should be.

.
1-- with (pen is modified-- it has an adjective, 'my')
2-- with or in (chalk is unmodified-- it has no adjective or determiner)

PS: Please do not add extra letters to words-- it looks childish, Tom.
