March 2012 SAT I Writing Thread

<p>@iwannaSUCCEED Thank the lord
@meatkabob It was interesting but I definitely did better with the pesticide</p>

<p>it was definitely when one arrives. </p>

<p>i had 3 no errors</p>

<p>I dont remember the releasing one/ to release one so I may have messed that up. anyone remember what number it was?</p>

<p>@lala i put most enjoyed seeing</p>

<p>Guys what was the puffin</p>

<p>i picked upon arrival. oh well</p>

<p>but isnt “Releasing” the error for the other question?</p>

<p>Do you guys remember that question in the last section where it was like "everyone but me were lawyers"I was sure it was was a lawyer…but is it me or I?</p>

<p>lalala - I put “most enjoyed seeing.”</p>

<p>My essay was so easy - about remembering our mistakes - that I was writing up until the very end since I had so much to talk about.</p>

<p>@lily96
I got “me” cuz it was after a preposition.</p>

<p>it was me for the lawyers question im pretty sure</p>

<p>You can’t say “me was”. The answer was everyone but I was there. The subject/object rule has some weird exceptions when it comes to personal pronouns.</p>

<p>@lalala
I also put most enjoyed seeing for the puffin.</p>

<p>@lily96
I got “everyone except me was a lawyer.”</p>

<p>is voytek right?!!! <3</p>

<p>@Voytek
The word wasn’t “but” it was “except”, which changes that I think.</p>

<p>It’s everyone except me was a lawyer because me in this case is the object of the sentence.</p>

<p>They were all lawyers except me.</p>

<p>does anyone remember the refusing/revealing question…?</p>

<p>@Voytek</p>

<p>meatkabob is right. “But” is a conjunction, while “except” is a preposition. You always use the direct object form after a preposition.</p>

<p>@Voytek</p>

<p>The sentence went something like this. “Everyone here except ____ was a lawyer”</p>

<p>You wouldn’t say: “Everyone here except we was a lawyer”</p>

<p>You would say: “Everyone here except us was a lawyer”</p>

<p>The verb “was” refers to “everyone here”, not “us”.</p>

<p>Not 100% sure though. :\ I think the “except me” was a prepositional phrase. The prepositional phrase takes the object form of the noun.</p>

<p>what kinda score is 2 wrong in writing with 10 essay</p>

<p>I put “everyone except I was a lawyer.” for the same reason as voytek</p>

<p>oh well.</p>

<p>what was the answer for the Aztecs sweetening their drinks with chilly peppers?</p>
