Guys, maybe you could use the PM function!
Stephen, going back four pages, I really had to think twice about that statement
He is swimming beside the sea ... (sorry if I have misquoted you but I have had to click through 4 pages of irrelevancy so I might have forgotten the original). On first reading, it does seem a little odd but I guess semantically the idea is sound.
On a side note (no pun intended), I always enjoy explaining the difference between "beside" and "besides"
I guess you could say
"Besides him, who is swimming beside the sea?"
Or could you?????? |

| PS. While we are on the subject, does anyone know of any websites that give an overview of English prepositions and their usages? |
