The english hw was so funny. i didn't know grammar could make me laugh. haha. check it out:

~You will probably need to spend more time and thought in mastering the pair of commas than in learning to handle all the other marks combined, but you will also be more richly rewarded.

~Now if one is using the English language, a separation of the subject from its verb is a pretty serious matter.

~It is so firmly fixed in our conscioness [to have subject and verb together] that we become definitely disturbed if it is changed or broken in any way.

~If we read in a popular thriller, "John killed Mary," we know that Mary is to be buried and John is to be caught.

~"The illustrated magazine suddenly laid upon his knees the old man in the chair which he had been reading the magaznie by the window."

"The illustrated magazine" is asumed to be the suject of a verb, and when we see the verb "laid" immediately following it, we suppose that it represents what the magazine did. When this verb is followed by "the old man," the entire group of words can only be describing a fantastic impossibility.

hahahaha. that last one was funny. "fantastic impossibility." wooo...i had fun doing english hw =D.
