May be and Maybe.

I didn't call you baby,

:(

but I can if you want me to. :wink:

"Maybe Mike did it" is a song lyric I got from that website.

Ooo Mike is very famous that there are lyrics on hom. :wink:

(BTW, you might want to tell tdol how to spell site. :wink: -)

He is not a good student so I want you to tell him how to spell site.

Were those examples helpful?

Yes they were. :P
I mean they are. :wink:

I know May be and Maybe is totally different words but what if anyone of you can expand it. 8)

I know may be and maybe are totally different words, but I wonder if any one of you can expand on it (i.e. the fact that they differ).

General rule of thumb

may be functions as verb.
It comes after the subject:

It may be time for dinner. (subject = It)

maybe functions as an adverb.
a) It comes at the beginning of a sentence:

Maybe it is time for dinner.

b) It comes at the end of a sentence:

It is time for dinner, maybe.

:D

I forgot I was supposed to correct your mistakes. :wink:

You should eat almonds.

No, I am not a crimnal. I am not a criminal either.

crimnal : Word not found.
criminal: Someone who has committed (or been legally convicted of) a crime

There are lots of things we do, but a mistake is something we make. Try: "I'll be sorry if I make any mistakes."

Thanks :)

Well, you're somebody's baby, aren't you? :wink:

Good point.

But I do have lots of angles. :wink:

Angel and Angle....

Say: "I don't think you are an angel?" (Why not? :wink: - )

Because I asked angles about this and they said you don't belong to them. :P :P

There are a lot more maybes at that website. You might find it interesting to peruse it.

I will try to read them when I will get time.
Hope you are fine and creating poetry.
Talk to you later
