Not that is really matters, but with [your edit here.] "A shorn sheep" means the same as "A Sheep that has been sheared". In fact the previous version is more simple grammatically, and a lot of linguists would recommend that. This is because your version is known as the present perfect continuous tense, which is meant to be used only when an action has only just finished occurring.


 * If you had just shorn a sheep, you would say "This is a sheep that has been shorn."
 * If it was unclear, or further past than just present, when the sheep was shorn, then "This is a shorn sheep," would be more appropriate.

As to the use of "shorn" or "sheared" they are interchangeable. Depending on your local dialect you might use the archaic "shorn" or the newer "sheared". I'm from Australia where we use "shorn" so that sounds more natural to me. I also use "burnt" not "burned" and some others.

Grammar is fun! ;)

 * Hi, sorry about the misunderstanding. Yes, about the whole "sheep" thing, what happened was we both saw that the page said "a nude sheep" and went to correct it at the same time. However you clicked the "save changes" button before me, so unfortunately my edit overwrote yours. That message that I left was directed at the other person. So I apologise and you can fix it is you like ;) -F1racer101 06:19, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
 * (copied here to keep it in one place) I wasn't involved in the edit at all, just pointing out some things. I think you want User talk:DannyF1966 if you're talking about the edit conflict. --Monotonehell 06:29, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh, sorry. Well again thanks for bringing that to my attention. -F1racer101 07:49, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks! ;)
I just want to say thanks for commenting on my story! Normally nobody likes them but I happy to know somebody does (unless you were being sarcastic).

P.S. I like to be correct with my grammer too. I'm not saying I'm good at it though! ;O GlitchKing 03:54, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
