This is a conversation between two girls I heard in audio. Bride and her mate were talking about the groom.
My question here is which one is appropriate here : what are we both doing or what we both are doing?
Most people would say:
Look what we are both doing
but it's also correct to say:
Look what we both are doing.
So either is appropriate.
However, you either pick on poor Des (meaning that criticise him, probably unfairly)
or you pick poor Des to pieces (meaning that you criticise him severely).
But you DON'T pick on poor Des to pieces.
