Yes, you do.

Fine, if I have to!

What can run but never walks, Has a mouth but never talks, Has a bed but never sleeps, Has a head but never weeps?

A river. I remember this one from a class worksheet.

yep, your go katie

Put this sentence into the correct punctuation.

I said that that that that that man wrote should have been underlined

well there should be a full stop after underlined, but that is as far as I can get

Haha, there's more than that! (Got to appreciate my love of English!)

Well it's much greater than my appreciation, that's for sure! Ive never seen so many 'that's in one place!

I said that, that that, that that man wrote, should have been underlined.

I said, "what that man wrote should have been underlined."

Is that it lol?

I said that that "that", that that man wrote, should have been underlined.

I said that:
that "that" (the one that that man wrote) shoulda been underlined.

I said that(1) that(2) "that(3)", that(4) that(5) man wrote, should have been underlined.

1: conjunction, introducing indirect speech
2 & 5: demonstrative pronoun
3: just some word in quotation marks!!!
4: conjunction, introducing relative clause

Modren English often eliminates the "that" that predeced relative clauses (compare "que" in French which is never dropped), and nowadays one might write and say:

I said that "that" that man wrote should have been underlined.

Very nice explanation, Cloone! Unfortunately, it's the wrong one!

You can't put it in the correct punctuation can you?

It doesn't make sense

No, there is a correct way to put this sentence. But I will admit, it is very difficult!

I said that, "That...that...that...that man wrote should have been underlined." ?

that man that wrote that i sais should have been underlined???

I said, that that that, that that man wrote, should have been underlined?

Nope! Anyone want a clue?

I said that,"that 'that' that that man wrote should have been underlined."


Lmao i give up if that aint right!!

Hey, you looked it up!
