This is the correct sentence -- adverbs are normally placed after the auxiliary verb and before the main verb. |

I'd choose the hyphenated form, since the sentence might be confusing otherwise: healthy age / appropriate female.  |

Hi Doc
You need the simple present tense and you should remove 'being' (OR write "he is"): He thinks that the pressure is too low and sometimes he snores while (he is) on CPAP.
(Is "he" the same person in both halves of the sentence?)

Hi,
I see that your mantra is: | Quote: | | i will care you with sweet pills. | The purist in me wants you to change it to: I will care for you with sweet pills.
Now I feel better!

Hi
"I will CURE you with sweet pills" also sounds nice, don't you think?

Hi,
Or even simpler: Examination showed he had resolving acute otitis media on the right ear. Whatever that means!
