Notes

1. I'm assuming that this "my" means "me."

2. I'm assuming that this means "I liked her ever since third grade." (Note the "every" in the next paragraph.) The adverb "ever" modifies the prepositional phrase.

3. Although I would not comment on every "mistake" that students make in usage, I would suggest that this should be "best."
