							| using exercises from other user īs ws to create my own. 
 |  
							| Hi guys! quick technical question.  I have created a WS and in it I have included 2 exercises from a ws that I downloaded from the site. The rest of the WS however (which is most of it) I have done myself.  Now, how to avoid ppl saying it is stolen?  Do I simply aknowledge the source of those two exercises?  the problem with this is that I don īt remember anymore who the user is! can I only say something like "adapted from a ws downloaded from ESLPrintables" or something?  Thanks for your help!!! :o)   |  25 May 2009

							| H I, i think you should find who is s/he? Because it can be unacceptable to use someone else īs exercise unless you take a permission |  25 May 2009

							| If you can īt remember - or find them on search function - just say adapted from an esl worksheet. 
 If the majority of the work is your own - i don īt see what the problem is.
 
 People have suggested that you also use your own formatting - rather than taken formatting from other people...

							| Why not write something like: "Please, if you recognize your exercises, contact me as I would like to give the link to YOUR worksheet!!"  It is great to work as a team! |  25 May 2009

							| thanks guys. I have found the user and I have asked permission to use her exercises quoting the source.  the formatting is my own, I have only used an exercise amongs others which are my own.  so hope to upload the ws soon! :o)   |  25 May 2009

							| My dear, we don īt say "H I, i think you should find who is s/he?" . This is an indirect question, so, you write the subject before the verb, ok? Like is: I think you shoul find who - the subject: he or she, whatever, and the verb: is. That īs what I meant, sound and clear. Thank you and have a good day.  |  25 May 2009
