Hello SteemKids and Parents!
I am sure that, well, those of you who use Grammarly to check your posts would have noticed that there is often a “delete” for some words. In other words, a suggestion that the word is really not necessary and the sentence is formed without it.
Umh… It often happens to me.
Let’s take the very first part of the introduction sentence, “I am sure that, well, those of you…” The word “well” is not required.
Now take a look at the very last sentence, and we sit with “umh.” Yip, I am guilty of using it way too often.
We call these words “crutch” words, and we use them to fill gaps in our sentences. They don’t have a meaning. For me, they speak to the soul, but for the Englishman, it will be required to drop them.
Back to the introduction paragraph. Did you pick up the third crutch word I used?

Now it is time for contest #6.
Just a reminder that the answer is sent to the admin of the community prior to the contest.
Now, what is the correct sentence?

Awh! I can just see your faces.
It is true what they say; the obvious is not so obvious.
Time to play!

The contest
I am going to give you a scrambled sentence that you must unscramble. In other words, by using all the words, you must place the words in the correct order so that they form a sentence that makes sense.
How to participate?
- You can reply to this post by posting your sentence, or you can write a quality post of 300+ words with the sentence in it. By writing a post, you can double your earnings if you are a winner.

What is up for grabs?
The first correct answer will take home 6 STEEM and if you have written a post I will double the winnings and you can take away 12 STEEM.
Just to be fair, the correct answer is send to the admin of the community prior to the start of the game.
The sentence and the winner will be announced next week on Wednesday; therefore, make sure you don't send in your answer later than Tuesday 23:59 UTC.
If there is no winner, the prize will increase by 2 STEEM each time until there is one.

Un interesante concurso.
Me voy a poner a trabajar para descifrar. Será un proceso, porque está en inglés y hablo español. Pero, me gustan los retos. 👍🤗😻
Awh! There is nothing as good as a challenge to lift us from our comfort zone and to learn from. (•ิ‿•ิ)
Good luck!
