Thanks. I needed that information from a very long time. Solved my several ambiguous problems regarding to these little words and their usage. :)

I'm not sure what you're referring to here. The OP was rather poorly formatted, so 5jj tidied it up so that it was readable. So far, no-one has actually dealt with the question so can you explain how the posts have helped you to solve problems you have had for a very long time?
