Deepurple is on a distinguished road
Default Some knots needed to be loosened

Is there anything wrong with the following sentences?

"Each of us ought to do our best."
"Some of us are doing our homework."
"Many(Five) of us did our best."

Thanks again.

P.S. The word "loosen" in the title bar should be "loosened". T.Y.
(In this case, how could I make the correction of the mistake in the title bar?)

Yup, they're all fine.

Thanks again.

Click on EDIT and you should be able to add 'ed' to loosen, Dee. As you can see from my posting, I was able to add 'ed' to the title in my posting, so I don't see any reason why you can't do the same.
