Teacher Re: The correct way to use 'bite" It's OK assuming that Monkey is a name. Otherwise, you'd have to write, "The monkey can bite me".

Teacher Re: The correct way to use 'bite" It doesn't look right, but there might be a context in which it could be used. Can you give us the context? Originally Posted by napaporn

Re: The correct way to use 'bite" I have a cat named Mouse. Maybe he has a dog named Monkey.
(Mouse came with her name. We didn't do it!)I'm not a teacher, but I write for a living. Please don't ask me about 2nd conditionals, but I'm a safe bet for what reads well in (American) English.
