    In the park is Mary. That’s a clever phrase. I’ll be sure to use one because the first sentence is awkward. What are the similarities between “Mary is in the park” and “Mary’s in the park”?

    How can the lyric “Within the park Mary is” be used in a song?

    The only time it is acceptable in standard English to reverse the order of subject and verb in the case of a question. Mary is in the

    1. park and when is she taking baths?
    2. Is it OK for the kids to hang out with Mary in the park?

    In the case of the statement (example #1), the subject comes first, followed by verb. This sentence is completed by the prepositional phrase that describes the subject.

    In the question (example #2), the verb comes first (“as”), followed by the subject (“Mary”).

    “Beautiful people. I want to make friends”

    I want to make new friends. What are some good ways for me to do this?

    Which are both idiomatic words and mean very similar things to one another.

    This method suggests that you require searching places you like to be. Using’make’ suggests that you will be concentrating on how you befriend people.

    What will you respond separately to a different question? How can you

    find new friends?

    How can I find new friends?

    How can you tell me your opinion on this topic?
