Question(help)
Hi, thereCould you please help me with these questions? Please!
1) Do you say "This is a photo of my wife and me" or "of me and my wife"? And "This photo belongs to me and my wife or my wife and me?
This is a photo of my wife and me.
This photo belongs to my wife and me.
- It is proper English to put yourself last.
On a website I read "Today is John, Catherine's and my last day of school." .. Does it sound odd to say "Today is the last day of school of John, Catherine's and mine" Yes it does.
Better to say:
Today is the last day of school for John, Catherine and me.
2) Do you say "This happened in the whole/in all US or in the whole of the US/In all of the US"?
You can say "in the whole of the US" or "in all of the US", but between the two I would prefer to use "in all of the US".
3) Does it sound odd to say "This sentence isn't perfect, but it only just passes." Yes it does. "It is (only) Just acceptable" "It is just (barely) acceptable"?
I would say, "This sentence isn't perfect, but it is acceptable." or "This sentence isn't perfect. It's barely acceptable."
Please! I really need your help
