Hi, I need several native English speakers to fill a small form for my linguistic research. I am not a native speaker myself, so please excuse some clumsyness, but feel free to mark a bad sentence as a bad sentence, this will help. I will show you (alleged) English sentences and ask you whether they are actually good, well-formed sentences in English. First I will need to know what variant of English you are a speaker of. This really won't take long. Thank you so much! Lisa (bylinina@gmail.com)
