N. Scott Catledge, PhD/STD _____ From: Brad Johnston [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Friday, May 29, 2009 9:42 PM To: undisclosed recipients: Subject: Class size My alma mater, whose regular Freshman English program I have praised highly, had a secondary program in basic writing skills for those who (had) failed the English placement exam. I (had) scored a 100 in the exam but my advisor (had) accidentally put my test in the "Dummy English" pile; therefore, I had to take a non-credit English class on the same semester as my first Freshman English class. My advisor apologized to me later but I replied that I (had) learned more in Dummy English than in regular English because the class size was quite small--around ten students--and we wrote a theme each day instead of one a week. ~~~~~~~~ Brad, The writer of the above ( ) has ( ) doesn't have a 'had' problem.
