The object can either go after the phrasal verb: Hang up your clothes. I turn on the light. Or it can be placed in between the verb and the particle: Hang your clothes up. I turn the light on. However, when an object pronoun is used, it can only be placed in between: Hang them up. I turn it on. Última edición por Rusty fecha: February 03, 2012 a las 11:05 PM |

Yep. My mother grew up in Minnesota and she, in my opinion, doesn't have that Minnesotan/Dakota accent. Interestingly enough I am sometimes told I pronounce things like I'm from there and I have never been. For instance, "Sorry". Most pronounce it like "SAWrry". I pronounce it like "SOHrry" with the long "o" sound. So yes, though quaint, a slight accent is noticeable.

I'm surprised this comment has raised more than one eyebrow. It is not my assessment, just what everybody says - nobody has ever correctly identified which part of England I come from.

I absolutely love this thread! I think I don't make any of the mistakes in the list, but the comments on try to / try and, and on the phrasal verbs have solved many of my daily writing problems.
Thank you all!

Notice, though, that I'm from the US: from my perspective, EVERYONE from the UK has a "regional accent".

Me too ... So do I. But I keep mixing up loose and lose (in fact, I've never done any effort to learn their pronunciation and avoid mixing them up )

I see too many people my age mix up it's/its (misuse of apostrophes too), you're/your and their/there/they're.

Whilst it's not actually wrong, nobody in Britain would ever say "Someplace", it's always "Somewhere"!
