Is it wondering Or am I wondering?
While technically the three phrases differ in tense, they all have the same meaning. I’d suspect that “I was wondering” is used most often, followed by “I wonder”. “I am wondering” would probably be reserved for cases where you’re really perplexed because it suggests the wonder continued over a longer period of time.
What can you say instead of I was wondering?
I might say, “I’m curious,” “I’d like to know,” “I’m intrigued,” “I want to find out,” or “I want to ask you,” depending on the context of what I want to know about. (“I was wondering” is a weak way of asking about something without being straightforward about it.)
Do you add “St” to dates that include the year?
Do not add “st” or “th” to dates that include the year. Even dates that do not include the year do not need pronunciation help. Example: Her birthday is on August 28, which falls on a Saturday this year. Thanks for your anwer, but now I have another question (or two): is the following correct?
How do I insert dates correctly when using date fields?
It does, however, insert dates correctly when using date fields. Both Word and Excel’s “long date” format will look look like this: Monday, September 14, 2009. In Word 2007, click on the Insert tab, then click Date & Time (right-hand side, Text group). In Excel 2007 on the Home tab, click the Number Format drop-down arrow and select Long Date.
Can two complete sentences be joined without proper punctuation?
Two complete sentences cannot be joined without proper punctuation. Such a mistake is called a run-on sentence. Even if you join such complete sentences with a comma, it would be considered a comma splice.
Should there be a comma between the day and the year?
In the first format, month-day-year, a comma should be placed between the day and the year. Note that when the month is spelled out using the month-day-year format, only cardinal numbers (1, 2, 3…) should be used, not ordinal numbers (1st, 2nd, 3rd…).
