Re: every week

azzMember

Who used to borrow money from you back in those days.

a. It was Tom every week.

b. Tom, every week.

c, It was Tom. Every week.

Which of the sentences a-c are acceptable in this context?

The idea is that:

It was Tom. He borrowed money from me every week.

Many thanks.

Hi, Azz—All the responses are grammatically acceptable, but I prefer (b) and (c) because they indicate that the extra bit of information is just that: an extra bit of information (nonrestrictive). I recommend: "It was Tom—every week."
