Twiglet Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 when refering to a person a man i should write, "his"/"hes"/"he's"? and whats difference between mrs/miss? His = 'He was wearing HIS hat' He's = 'He's wearing wearing his hat', abbreviation of 'he is'. Mrs = married Miss = unmarried Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristian Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Mrs = Married lady. Miss = Unmarried lady. The other part of your question isn't clear - can you use it in a sentence? EDIT: What Twiglet said made sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heyesey Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 His = 'He was wearing HIS hat' He's = 'He's wearing wearing his hat', abbreviation of 'he is'. And "hes," your third option, merely shows you missed out an apostrophe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeP Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 As well as Mrs and Miss we have the more modern term Ms - sometimes used when you don't know whether the woman in quetsion is married or not. Mrs may also applied to a widow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artisan Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 If the op is a serious question, it just shows how low our schools have fallen. That kind of knowledge is Junior 3 stuff. If an adult does not know it, then we are further back than the fifties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who's to say that their first language is English or that they don't have a form of learning difficulty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
