Prayer
Introductions for new guests. Devotion-- Rebecca McLafferty GRAMMAR TIDBIT--Rebecca McLafferty Okay, I’m nibbling a Hershey’s Heath Bit while sipping steaming coffee. Nutritious? No. But the combination is perfect for this frigid February day. How does that sound? (Not the candy, the grammar!!) Hershey’s is a company. It is not a he, she, or they. Hershey’s is an it. To increase its product line, Hershey’s added Hershey’s Kisses milk chocolate Meltaway Roses, a milk chocolate Bear, Hugs & Kisses Heart Box, a Reese’s Peanut Butter Rose and Reese’s Big Box O’ Love. (See source below.)
The word ‘myself’ directs the action of the verb. (purchased for myself). Myself is never used as a subject pronoun. I shared the chocolate between him and me. Use me, us, you, him, her, it, or them when the pronoun is the DIRECT OR INDIRECT OBJECT OF A VERB.
This Reese’s Pieces candy belongs to me! These Reese’s Pieces candies belong to me! These Reese’s Pieces belong to me! 4.It’s my chocolate Valentine heart. (it is) My Valentine heart lost it’s foil. (incorrect – no possessive apostrophe in its) I can’t believe its gone. (incorrect – it is gone – it’s) I can’t believe it’s gone. Correct! (it is gone) https://www.goodmorningamerica.com/food/story/hersheys-unveils-2021-seasonal-sweets-including-marshmallow-reeses-74988826 LET THE TEACHING BEGIN “Sentences Are the Thing--our February topic is facilitated by Susan Marlene.
