How many cartons of milk does your family drink per week? 1) They drink two cartons of milk per week. (If you don't really drink milk yourself, this would be acceptable to say) 2) We drink two cartons of milk per week. (If you also drink milk, then use this one.) How many slices of cheese does your friend put ON his bread? 1) He putS two slices of cheese ON his bread. 2) He putS ON his bread two slices of cheese. (Can't say it this way unless you're writing a Dr. Seuss book with inverted syntax). He puts on his bread two slices of cheese. A slice for you and a slice for me. By the way, when I'm talking about a friend who is a woman or man is IT correct to use girl friend / boy friend? Both words are separated? and who is in a relationchip is correct to use girlfriend / boy friend? Both words are together ? and the entonation of the voice is most strong in these cases: girlfriend / boyfriend or there are different clues for identifying these words I'm not sure if their is a difference, but I might put a space if they are just friends and not my significant other(s). This is how I would say these things if I were a girl: One of my girl friends and I went to the store. (If you say "my girl friend and I" in speech, people will have to decide for themselves if they think you are dating her, or if it is just a friend. Saying "One of my girl friends" makes it clear and is a common way to avoid the confusion, because plenty of women date women.) My guy friend and I went to the movies. One of my guy friends. You ONLY use boyfriend if you are dating the guy. No one says "I went to the movies with my boy friend" if they mean "a friend who is a boy." If you want them to know your friend is a male, use "guy friend" or "friend that is a boy." Hope this helps! Best of luck!
