when to use persons in a sentence as opposed to people?
104404
I don't think it really matters.  Sometimes we use the word "persons" when we want to emphasize that we are talking about a group of individuals rather than the group as an entity unto itself.  Know what I mean?  But in general usage, I really don't think it matters.  Either is acceptable.

collectively or individually?

Use correct grammar and pronunciation and we might even have a snowball's chance in hell of  figuring out what you are talking about.\n\nHow : Capital H.\nbiologists: plural, not singular.\nWhose: Not whos\n\nSentence has a pronoun as a subject. Totally indecipherable.  What is "it"?\n\nAs the sentence is presented the correct answer could well be "Because of the label".

you, yourself, one.\n\n"you" is the subject pronoun, and "yourself" is a reflexive pronoun. And "one" is an indefinite pronoun. "Children" is not a pronoun, it's a noun. And pronouns replace nouns.

I can't believe all these people saying "Mark and I"  !!!  "Mark and me" is correct!\n\nSimply take "Mark" out of the sentence and see if it sounds right.\n\n"Could you please copy I on these communications?"  It doesn't work!\n\nAnd the first one is correct.  The second sentence uses the reflexive pronoun "myself," which doesn't make any sense.  Could you please copy myself on these communications?  You would not ask somebody to do it, if you were going to do it yourself.

To choose correctly among the forms of 'who', re-phrase the sentence so you choose between 'he' and 'him'. \nIf you want 'him', write 'whom'; \nif you want 'he', write 'who'. \n\nEXAMPLES:\nWho do you think is responsible? \n(Do you think he is responsible?) \n\nWhom shall we ask to the party? \n(Shall we ask him to the party?)

It depends on the context.\n\nThese is for the group right here in front of us. Those is for the people who are not here or present.

Personal pronouns in particular have three cases. Nominative (subjective), Objective, and Possessive, It is the Nominative and Objective pronouns we confuse.\n\nThe Nominative case (pronoun) I,  he, she, we  they are used when the pronoun is \n\n1.The subject of a verb: Example: Mary and I went to the store. James and he are in the same band. Carol and they consulted with the reception committee.\n\n2.The objective case or form of the pronoun (me, him, her, us, them) is used when the pronouns is an OBJECT.\n\nExample. I threw the book at him and her. (objects of the preposition at).\n\nExample: The police officer cited HIM for speeding. (Direct object of the verb cited).\n\nExample: Penelope have Derick and her a gift for their wedding. (indirect object of the verb gave).\n\nI hope this helps.

Here are a couple of examples.\n\nIf you could go out with anyone in the world; who would you go out with?\n\nHe's going to kick the football but can he make it in?\n\n\nIt seems to me that the only way you can use these two words at the end of a sentence is when there is a comma or a semicolon used in the sentence.\n\nBut there are always exceptions.  \n\nI hope someone can give you further explanation.

You can use against which in a sentence; ie, The injustice against which the protesters were rallying continued to increase in prominence\n\nHowever, in your case, the use of against which is not correct; something like "the money for which the farmers hoped was not forthcoming."

Here's the problem: The subject of the sentence is "creating designs and making modifications." It is a plural subject (there are 2 things in the subject: creating and making). So, the verb has to agree with it. The verb is "helps" and is incorrect. It should be "help" -- which is the form of the verb for a plural subject.

Whom is always the object of the action.\nWho is the subject of the action.\nExample: To Whom should I send this?\n         Who is this?  (subject)

Of course it's okay to use ", and" in sentences. \n\nExamples:\n\n"Mr. Wagner, however, said he feels the legislation targets non-white populations, and a report to the affirmative action subcommittee details evidence for this suspicion."\n\n"On the way to school, the bus driver ran over a bird's nest, some soda cans, and a pair of pants."

The problem is not necessarily in the wording, but in the conjunctions you chose to use. For example, you said "man OR woman, black Or white, gay OR straight, AND young OR old..."\nAlso you used the word ALL, meaning everyone that you mentioned. The word all doesn't necessarily work when you use or. Or is used to present an option or choice with exclusion, whereas all and and are used inclusively. \nTry this:  "This would mean that man and woman, blacks and whites, homosexuals and heterosexuals, and the young and elderly would be treated the same, regardless." \n\nI sure hope this helps you out.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n.

One trick in writing is to eliminate 'I' from the sentence.  Try to substitute it for something else.  The world is not just about ourselves.  Some examples: 1. It is my intention to..........  2.  If allowed my idea is to.........  3. My goals are to..................  4.  Personally, it is guaranteed that .............  Get the idea?  Hopefully, this helps you (instead of "I hope this helps.")
