Am I using the correct grammar, etc. in this sentence for my facebook status?

Mary is wishing that her smiley faces didn’t always have to have moles on their chins at the end of the sentence! :).

(because facebook automatically puts a period at the end of whatever you say) Should the word “sentence” be sigular or plural? Thank you very much!

I would have to say “sentences” (plural) only because you talk about smiley faces and moles in the plural form. If you want to go singular, make it all singular, or vice versa.

Cute observation

Mary is wishing that her smiley faces DON’T always have to have moles on their chins at the end of the sentence! 🙂

Only because you’re saying that “Mary IS wishing…” which is present tense, so you want to keep the whole sentence in present tense. Otherwise, it’s fine! :] Good job with the THEIR. :]

haha My own sentence right there sounds pretty horrible. Sorry.

I would rewrite this as:

Mary wishes her smiley faces didn’t always have moles on their chins at the end of the sentence.”

The word “sentence” can be either singular or plural.

Make it:

Mary is wishing that her smiley faces didn’t always have to have moles on their chins at the end of her sentences! :).

Oh, and a tip to get around the mole thing, try putting two dots at the end of whatever you are saying, so it looks more natural, as if you weren’t done speaking:

Mary is wishing that her smiley faces didn’t always have to have moles on their chins at the end of the sentence! 🙂 …

You could say either “at the end of the sentence “(I prefer at the end of a sentence) or you could also say “at the end of sentences” Either is grammatically correct. I prefer “at the end of a sentence” because it better defines ANY sentence, whereas “the” is too specific to one particular one if you know what I mean.

Looks correct to me. And that’s funny 😛

although I’d rephrase it as “didn’t have moles on their …”, removing the “always have to”. But whatever it’s just a status message.

“at the end of every sentence” sounds better
