Hey bear, getting schooled again is not a bad thing!
For example, the way to remember the correct usage of *us* vs *we* in your sentence above, is to take out the *ESL folks* and say the sentence, Us work very hard... or We work very hard..?
I am a bit of a language nazi, though I do make typos--and my sentence structures are not always the best.
My personal pet peeve phrase is *very unique.*
Please, dear lord, drop the very!
