Sunny, I'll sign this too I would have dropped in earlier but have never found enough time or energy to write more than a few words... so I never bothered starting (to write) in the first place. I'm still learning... partly on my own, partly on English courses... Besides being blessed with a natural talent for languages I've been lucky enough to have had a few exellent English teachers... although I'm not very strong at the theory of grammar I usually just know what's right. And, Free, maybe just a note on asking questions... When you use the 'wh' question (i.e. what, where, when, why...)directly you reverse the order, so you say, "What are you doing...," not, "What you're doing..." But when you ask indirectly, this rule does not apply, so: "I wonder what you're doing..." is correct. Hope I haven't complicated things too much... Cheers, Ladybird
