CeliVega Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 Do we have to use a root word after "always"? Or it depends on what pronouns are we using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShannonRiveras Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 It would be correctly written as "He always sits in the corner". The word "sit" would be used as in "Come sit by me" or "I told my dog to sit". Sits is used in the present tense; as in "She sits next to the fountain" or "He sits at his computer".

Disinterested Cow Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Sat would be the past tense. "He sat in the corner"Also keep in mind at/in/on change depending on the location, some crossover is acceptable but often using the wrong will sound unnatural. Examples:He sat in the corner of the room.He sat at the corner of the table.He sat on the corner of the street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
