Hi rizma,

You asked:

have nothing to do with means not to be involved in something often with the suggestion that it’s not your fault/responsibility as in:

You can’t blame me, I’m innocent as I had nothing to do with the matter

It can also be used in the question form:
Have you anything to do with this matter?

In the postive sense: She has something to do with the matter is also possible

suggesting that she is involved to some extent.

Dear Alan

(How are you? :smiley: Long time no see!)

During my punctuation lessons sometime ago I came across/ learnt a point that a comma cannot be used between two complete sentence. Now I am a bit curious because your sentences seem complete, at least to me. Could you please guide me about it?Your sentences:

“You can’t blame me, I’m innocent as I had nothing to do with the matter.”

Ever yours

hi

I also would like to ask where we need to put commas

Hi Tom,

I’m fine thanks. The use of the comma here I intended as a break in what is supposed to be a conversation piece but what you learnt is fine as regards continuous prose.
