<p>Let me start first…
Either … or</p>
<p>^ You should definitely go through the Blue Book and highlight any and all idioms that you see/missed. Write them down on a list.</p>
<p>there are other threads for this.
You should use the search button rather than wait for people to spoon feed you :]</p>
<p>What do you mean spoon feed eh? Isn’t this why we are here for… to get info.? And if there is a another thread for this, it is probably dead gone. So either way please start contributing please.</p>
<p>lol, even if they are dead, they have valuable info.
some have all the info you need.</p>
<p>lol.</p>

<p>Oops, “impressed” is followed by either “with” or “by”. The problem with sentence #26, Page 480 Blue Book, lays in “Carlos and I”. Should be changed to “Carlos and me”</p>
<p>^yeah that’s because u knew the obvious answer “carlos and me”, what if the choice was “carlos and me”, are u gonna pick Impressed with? =] impressed with sounds really akward in my opinion.</p>
<p>Follow the object of the preposition rule so it should be the objective case “me”.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>No, in this case, I’d confidently choose E.</p>
<p>The reason is simple: I’m an international student, so I seldom get confused by “sound right” or “sound wrong” answer choices as do US students. In fact, my English teacher forces me into memorizing that “impressed” should be followed by either “with” or “by”! :D</p>

<p>From an earlier thread (<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-preparation/593698-grammar-question.html[/url]):”>Grammar question! - SAT Preparation - College Confidential Forums):</a>
-in contrast…to
-in contrast…with</p>
<p>so, are</p>
<p>-in contrast…to
-in contrast…with</p>
<p>both correct?</p>
<p>^ Both are correct. I haven’t seen an SAT question that affirms the College Board’s practices of usage for these phrases, however. </p>
<p>[A. Contrasting with] [B. most other] fifteenth-century rulers, Portuguese kings [C. could count on] the support of the aristocracy [D. in any] overseas ventures. [E. No error]</p>
<p>This is the question that gcf101 linked to. The people debating the issue on that thread were missing the point: this isn’t an idiom question, it’s a logical question. The kings weren’t contrasting anything, so the preposition “in” is needed.</p>
