I did a search on “snuck” after seeing several comments complaining of its not being a word, not proper English. Every source I found, every dictionary, every reference cites it as definitely a word, in standard usage of proper English. I’ve used it, so have many I know. Look it up yourself instead of automatically giving me thumbs down.

13 / 15. Really 14/15 because snuck is not a word in proper English! Slipped up on one though!

Donnie Sartor, Who is used as a subject. However, that question required the object of the preposition with. Changing the question to a declarative sentence would have it read: You are going to hang out with ___ tonight. Who would be the correct response, if the question was: ___ is going to hang out with you tonight. Then, the blank would require the subject of the sentence. Thank you, Christine, James' wife

Stephenie Framilla, The usual way to begin a question is not with whom. However, writing that question as a declarative sentence would read: You are going to hang out with ___ tonight. You is the subject of the question and statement. Who would be appropriate if the question was: ___ is going to hang out with you tonight? Thank you, Christine, James' wife

Gigliola Vrandecic, Who is always used as a subject. The question requires the object of the preposition with, because the subject of the question is you. The question written as a declarative sentence would be: You are going to hang out with ____ tonight. Who would be used if the question read: ____ is going to hang out with you tonight. Thank you, Christine, James' wife

Anne McKinnon, Hello. The word effect is a noun. A chemical can have harmful effects on someone's skin. The word affect is a verb. The chemical can affect someone's skin negatively. Sugar has a negative effect on health. Sugar affects one's health negatively. (I would probably say: Sugar could have a negative effect. Another alternate would be: Too much sugar could negatively affect one's health. I have heard of affect used with emotions but cannot picture how to apply it that way now. Thank you, Christine, James' wife
