🚨 Are you ready for a quiz about proverbs? Choose the proverb that best fills the blank in the sentence below. 🚨 Here's the sentence: When Sallie published a Facebook post about the quarrel she had with her husband, I told her that she shouldn’t ______________.

Grammar alert! 🚨Watch out for the "despite" dilemma—it's a preposition, not a conjunction. Native speakers can stumble too! Examples to avoid and fixes: 🚫 "They can't get good medical attention, despite they need it badly." ✅ "Despite his objections, Gov. LePage lets the budget fix take effect." Tip: Correct bloopers by adding "the fact" after "despite" or swap it with "although." Despite's a multitasker, but today, it's all about its preposition prowess.

Did you know the right order of adjectives is crucial? It's why we say 'a big red ball' not 'a red big ball'. Nailing this can transform your English, making your expressions clearer and more fluent. 👍 #GrammarRules #EnglishLearning #GrammarFAQS

@writing_tips Her

@ElizabethDuncan YES!

@writing_tips Her

@MarkFMo That's correct!

@writing_tips B. her

@baYsYckwrYteboY Correct-o!

@writing_tips Her (unless the scout is non-binary, then the answer is their)

@gonzie_beb Well said!

@writing_tips B- each individual scout received a rating, as opposed to each scout receiving the rating of the group as a whole. Could also be “their” if you think of it as a singular possessive (more common today) but if they’re all Girl Scouts its traditional to use “her” by default

If he said no, I'm calling the police. 😂
