Here's a little puzzle to ponder: |
| The following sentence is grammatically
correct, it just needs to be given the correct punctuation:
Ann while Bob had had had had had had had
had had had had a better effect on the teacher.
Scroll Down for the Answer:
Okay, here's the answer to the puzzle with an explanation: Ann, while Bob had had "had", had had "had had". "Had had" had had a better effect on the teacher. "Had had" is past perfect and Bob had [written]
the wrong answer on his HW assignment (or whatever), which was "had". Ann
had [written] the correct answer, which was "had had". Thus, While Bob
had had "had" [on his paper], Ann had had "had had" on her paper. The fact
that Ann had had "had had" on her paper made the teacher happy.
