2. Mother told me,"Don't take a long nap."
(I think #2 is right? What about #1?)
3. Every time I have to read out loud, I get so nervous.
4. Each time I have to read out loud, I get so nervous.
5. Whenever I have to read out loud, I get so nervous.
6. When I have to read out loud, I always get so nervous.
(Are the four sentences all the same?)
7. Please be on time.
8. Please you be on time.
(#7 is right? How about #2? Can we say like that as in #8?)
9. How many a's does the word have?
10. How many as does the word have?
11. How many 'a's' does the word have?
