Answer 7

Answer 8

yeah

Answer 9

the focus of the sentence is the descriptive, some reporter's stories

Answer 10

Ok here is the definition:
The trick to remember when to use "too" is the extra "o" in the word. Why? Because the word "too" (as you seen in the definition before) is used when you're referring to an extra or excessive amount of something. You must get into the habit of making a conscious decision every time you write the word "to" in a composition. Ask yourself if you are dealing with an amount or an excess of something. Soon you'll get it right every time!

Answer 11

too is used when referring to excessive.. like in your sentence :)

Answer 12

the too isnt in the focus of what we are seeing is correct so i would assume it is correct

Answer 13

yes that is right

Answer 14

I was just replying to Mr I like to read :)

Answer 15

so there is no error? or is the place of the contraction on reporter wrong?

Answer 16

reporter's is supposed to be repoters'

Answer 17

reporters'

Answer 18

okay so punctuation error got it

Answer 19

To show plural possession, make the noun plural first. Then immediately use the apostrophe.

Examples:
two boys' hats two women's hats
two actresses' hats
two children's hats
the Changs' house
the Joneses' golf clubs
the Strauses' daughter
the Sanchezes' artwork
the Hastingses' appointment
the Leeses' books

Answer 20

yep :)

Answer 21

I think the sentence should read:

Since they were too descriptive, some reporter's stories were never published.

I would substitute the word 'since' for 'if' in the beginning, and rearrange the ending because you can't put 'never' and 'at all' together like that. :)
