Hi,

I sometimes think we are the students and you are the teacher.

Why don’t you ever commit yourself and say which one you think is correct?

Alan

I think 1 and 2 are correct, 3 and 4 are acceptable.

Hi,

I’ll buy the lot!

Alan

Dear Sir,

What does I’ll buy the lot! mean?

Quoc

Hi,

Have a guess.

Alan

That means I agree with all. All are correct in grammar.

Hi,

Yes, you see you can do it.

Alan

Dear Alan

May I ask what your preference would be?

1-It was I who…
2-It was me who…
