<p>Some authors use them when other punctuation will disrupt the flow that they are seeking. If a student does it, however, it would likely be seen as an unintentional error as opposed to a purposeful decision.</p>
<p>That’s dedication.</p>
<p>That’s what I was afraid of. I’ll stick with semicolons. Thanks. You’re a big help in these matters. :)</p>
<p>Well this is a *****ing spectacle.</p>
<p>This would be a correct sentence right?</p>
<p>“He wrote his own autobiography?”</p>
<p>I don’t quite understand your explanation; could you explain in more simpler terms?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>No, that sentence is incorrect because it is redundant. An autobiography is by definition written by the subject, so to say one’s “own autobiography” is to repeat the meaning encompassed by the word autobiography.</p>
<p>Also, I know “who” is used for the subjective case, and “whom” is for the objective case, but would “whom” also apply for the dative case; or would it be “who”?</p>
<p>^ There is no distinct dative case in English; direct objects and indirect objects always take the same case.</p>
<p>Thanks a ton for this guide, enormously helpful :]</p>
<p>How long does it take for you guys to solidify the vocabulary in the Direct Hits book? I’ve had the 2010 edition for almost a year and have been lazy about memorizing them. It seems like just reading the word, then definition, then the excerpt once isn’t enough to crystallize (DH WORD!) the information. How many times have you guys re-read the DH books? Any of you make flash cards for ‘on the go’ studying?</p>

<p>Question 9:
"An expedition was sent in 1949 to check [underline]a Turkish villager’s reporting[/end underline] he had seen the remains of Noah’s ark on Mount Ararat.</p>
<p>** The report of a Turkish villager that</p>
<p>Apparently B is the correct answer. Silverturtle, could you please elaborate on why “that” can be used in this way? When using B, the entire sentence sounds quite awkward to me.</p>
<p>^^ Personally, I can’t memorize any words from just reading DH’s excerpts. The only reason I use DH’s excerpts is to entertain myself…</p>
<p>I pretty much buy the book for the words, then I write them on flash cards, sometimes including a sentence to help me understand it. And finally…I memorize.</p>
<p>thanks silverturtle!!! you must have scored 2400 :D</p>
<p>^</p>
<p>He did.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The “of” phrase may be throwing you off, so I’ll change it:</p>
<p>An expedition was sent in 1949 to check a Turkish villager’s report that he had seen the remains of Noah’s ark on Mount Ararat.</p>
<p>Does that clarify?</p>
