The and x 5 is an old one and has a few variants: So the owner of The Coach and Horses pub was making a request of the signwriter and said - Regarding the spaces between "Coach" and "and" and "and" and Horses, please don't make them too wide, like it was on the old sign, because that looked terrible. I've written a couple of correct sentences with then x 4, just for fun for my students. There is also the classic had x 4, with variants - "Whereas Peter in his essay had correctly used had had, had had in David's essay was incorrect and should have been have had" But I once saw a homonym sentence with where, were and wear about 4 or 5 times but I can't remember it. There is an easy 3 though "Where were Ware, Jones and Davis at 2 o'clock?" And I realise that some northern accents in UK do not pronounce where and were in the same way. Also, if you're ever in Northern Ireland, where I've been a few times, you will quickly notice that hour, are and our are all pronounced exactly the same. |

Isn't there a two missing from that? In either the first or second in order to make them different values. But what a great one seven in a row. "The level has been adjusted to two two too, to two too, many times" :) |

Okay that works too, but kind of changes the meaning a bit. ------------- https://ibb.co/8x0xjR0" rel="nofollow"> |

Whereas Peter in his essay had and had not, respectively, "had had," "had had had had," "had had" had had "had had" before it in David's essay.

He filled the truck with the flat tire with hay with a pitchfork with his brother John with gusto. with x5 P.S. For clarification, in case the notion was overlooked, these are five types of ‘with’, all with a different meaning. To do an activity in concert with someone (e.g. dancing with someone) is comitative, but to use something as a tool (e.g. opening a door with a key) is instrumental. Not only are all the ‘withs’ in the sentence different, they are limited to that specified order. ------------- A curse upon the heads of those who seek their fortunes in a lie.
