Answer 4

I was just gonna chew you out but I realized there would be plenty of that and I need to learn some more about grammar myself too so...you're lucky.  Seriously though it really wasn't hard, and I haven't had a grammar class for about ten years.

You might want to make the question smaller (un-double space it), it's damned inconvenient to scroll up and down on, you might get a better response. I'll do what I can I have a good intuitive sense of grammar but not a good academic understanding of it.
