“James was quite tired of doing nothing.”
This word is sometimes used when another would be more appropriate.
“He said how he would quit farming.” Use that.
“Ye see how that not many wise men are called.” We must read the Bible as we find it, but in modern English the sentence would be corrected by omitting how.
“Be careful how you offend him.” If the manner of offending is the thought to be expressed, the sentence is correct. But the true meaning is doubtless better expressed by, “Be careful lest you offend him.”
No, Not
“I cannot tell whether he will come or no.” “Whether he be a sinner or no I know not.” In such cases not should be used instead of no.
This much
“This much can be said in his favor.” Change this much to so much or thus much.
