<h2>I am in a quandary ...</h2>
<p>Lake Forests cops were pressed with the demand to cut /for cutting the dry bushes.</p>
<ol>
<li> What do you demand? Do you demand the cops to cut the trees, or do you demand them for cutting the trees? You can't demand for any gerund. Think about it...You were pressed with the demand of your guardian to clean your room.
Infinitive for #1</li>
</ol>
<p>3 3. Pronoun Case--You are smarter than me/I.
--In order for she and I to be able to attend, we will need to receive tickets within the week.( where is the error?)</p>
<p>You are smarter than I am. Just add am and if it makes sense, it's I.</p>
<p>Okay, the latter one, "In order...." always eliminate whoever is in front of I or me....for instance:
John and Me go to the pool. Eliminate John. Me go to the pool. Does it make sense? No.
Now to your sentence.
In order for she and I to be able to attend, we will need to receive tickets within the week.
In order for I to be able to att.....yea, doesn't make sense.
In order for ME to able to att....there you go.</p>
<ol>
<li>Adj/Adv--They felt bad/badly about failing the test.</li>
</ol>
<p>These are sometimes tricky. I really have no method here, sorry, but if it makes sense then it probably is right.
They felt bad about failing the test is correct.
I just don't know why.</p>
<ol>
<li>whether to / whether or not to --when should I use which?
Okay, this is easier.</li>
</ol>
<p>Whether or not to eat the bug was mind boggling to JOhn.
Whether to eat the bug, or to toss it aside, was mind boggling to John.
Whether or not usually compares ONE thing in two instances. Whether or not to do something.
Whether to gives an alternative. "whether to die or whether to live, whether to eat or whether to drink"</p>

Once again, whatever sounds right.</li>
</ol>
<p>About the whomever/whosoever question...honestly, I don't think that you're EVER going to use whomsoever or whosoever in your vocabulary, they're archaic. As for whomever....well....if you're just aiming for the few extra points on the SAT then w/e, but usually the mistake of mixing up whoever and whomever aren't going to be spotted out easily, and it's just whatever sounds right.</p>
<p>goodluck man</p>
