When is it okay to use direct speech?
And how does indirect speech work?

When is it appropriate to talk directly to the readers by using “you”?

So Shannii, I know you don’t live in America lol but here we have these standardized tests. You don’t have to do this but I had it added on anyway because some colleges require you to do this, but I’m supposed to write an essay in like 40 minutes for one of the tests.
Basically for the essay you are given two or three different perspectives, then you have to come up with some sort of argument.
Sample one:

So Ik you don’t live here but using your essay knowledge, how should Americans best prepare for this?

What’s the best way to teach the difference between used to and would to eighth graders*?

How about will vs. going to?

My students struggle a lot with those concepts.

My teacher never explained it in a good way, so I still just use the one I feel like using because I don’t know the rules for it :grinning:

How to use they/them pronouns in sentences?
This confuses me a bit…

In my RP post, Leo (my char) is talking about their sibling (who uses they/them pronoun).
So, there’s this one line- But she didn’t know where they were.
Are we supposed to use were or was?

If I use were, it’s grammatically correct, but if I use was, then it makes more sense, 'cause I’m talking about one person and not many.

I’ve tried reading other RPers’ posts, but some use were and some use was.
