I love this series called Alice. The next book is coming out in May and the author Phylis Naylor only gave one clue. The book is called Dangourosly Alice. The clue is Alice goes to an unknown man's house at night because he is a (6 letter word). Alice is 16. The 6 letter word is not plural. It is not a female. It does not start with a vowel. If you wouldn't mind please think of some 6-letter words that work!
THANKS!

I teach English in Mexico. Nearly all the grammar books indicate that we must use a subject pronoun after a linking verb, as in the following.

Knock, knock.
"Who is it?" asked the Wolf in a grandmother-like voice.
"It is I, Little Red Ridinghood," said the girl.

"The winners were we!" exclaimed all four Bobbsey Twins in unison.

"Romeo, a Montague art thou," declared Juliet.

You may have trouble finding the exact quotes, but I think you get what I mean.

Do real people ever use such phrases, or do native English speakers always use, "It's me," "It was us," or "the winners were them;" etc.

Do English teachers teach this subject-pronoun nonsense simply to confuse their students?

Which forms do you use?

I've allways though that cigerettes were addivtive, but it seems that more people than not consider them addicting. Now I'm wondering if i'm crazy.

What is the "propper" word, addictive or addicting?

I don't know the proper spelling, but I'm sure we've all heard the swear word / phrase: FUKINAY. I know that's not how it's spelled but hopefully I spelled in phonetically enough so that people know what I'm talking about and it makes it through the Yahoo Answer sensors.

Anyway, what does that word or phrase mean and where does it come from? I know what the first "word" means, the word that rhymes with "truck" but what's with the "in-A" after it. It's a phrase I've been hearing for many years now, just never knew what it meant.

Any insight is appreciated, thanks.
