Title: settle an argument between me and mrsB Post by: boldie on May 22, 2008, 06:10:09 PM Is "You tired me out" a proper sentence or not? Can you "Tire someone out"?
Or should it be "wore me out" or "made me tired"? Title: Re: settle an argument between me and mrsB Post by: Dewi_cool on May 22, 2008, 06:12:50 PM brag post imo

Title: Re: settle an argument between me and mrsB Post by: bolt pp on May 22, 2008, 06:18:32 PM def correct use, let me give you an example:
Boldie: "look, ive been under a lot of stress lately and the doctor said it happens to 2/3 men, just keep trying" Mrs boldie: "i cant go on anymore, my arm is killing me, you tired me out".

The subject is whom or what the sentence is about. The predicate tells you about the subject. It is fairly easy to know what is the subject and what is the predicate.
Find the verb (the action word) in the sentence. The word the verb is describing is the subject. The predicate, which includes the verb, tells about the subject. Therefore the verb is 'tired' is descibing what you did, the subject is "me" in this case Mrs B and "tired me out" is the predicate so it is a proper sentence -- end of lesson Title: Re: settle an argument between me and mrsB Post by: boldie on May 22, 2008, 06:29:25 PM def correct use, let me give you an example: Boldie: "look, ive been under a lot of stress lately and the doctor said it happens to 2/3 men, just keep trying" Mrs boldie: "i cant go on anymore, my arm is killing me, you tired me out". lmao...now go away! MrsB used the phrase as I annoyed her for a long time...I don't think it's proper English..I'll wait for TJ or Mr Red to come and explain proper English to you degenerates and tell me I'm right.

What, me say you're right and Mrs B is wrong? Yeah, that'll happen. Pfft!! Sigh..thanks to you all I now have to read Harry Potter 2..Read Harry Potter 1 last week after losing an argument about something else and came to the conclusion that it's nothing more than a well-written childrens book that you wouldn't mind reading to your kids but all the grown ups reading it for themselves should really read something else...MrsB disagrees with that and is now forcing me to read nr 2 as well. I really should just stop disagreeing with her about things so I can go back to reading proper grown up books. Title: Re: settle an argument between me and mrsB Post by: gatso on May 22, 2008, 07:43:46 PM tell her that you're foreign and don't understand all the long English words. hopefully she won't bother to go out and find a German copy and you'll get away with it

"Huney?", I'll say. "Yes Dear?", she'll reply. "Was ist ein Dumbledore?" "Oh feck off I'm tired of explaining, just give me that book back" And I'll be free to go back to my WW2 books :) Title: Re: settle an argument between me and mrsB Post by: kinboshi on May 22, 2008, 07:55:04 PM She's right , you're wrong. Now let me read the question. Was going to post exactly the same. Title: Re: settle an argument between me and mrsB Post by: kinboshi on May 22, 2008, 07:59:05 PM 'To tire out' is both a transitive and intransitive verb, so it can be used in the example above (transitive use) as well as the intransitive use "I'm tired out".
No need to thank me. Title: Re: settle an argument between me and mrsB Post by: Laxie on May 22, 2008, 08:10:34 PM She's right , you're wrong. Now let me read the question. Was going to post exactly the same. ;iagree; Now hush and go read that book. Title: Re: settle an argument between me and mrsB Post by: kinboshi on May 22, 2008, 08:14:56 PM She's right , you're wrong. Now let me read the question. Was going to post exactly the same. ;iagree; Now hush and go read that book. In British English that sentence is unacceptable. It should be "Now hush and go and read that book". English only on the forum please.
