    Yes, I can answer all three, no problem.

    I feel like I'm being asked to do your homework - I don't have any problem with helping you to find the right answers, but I'm not going to write them down here, so that you can copy them but have no idea as to why they might be correct.

    A full understanding of how/why things are right/wrong will help you: copying someone else's ideas will leave you unfulfilled.

    1. *(a) you're should be your (you're = you are - doesn't fit there)

    2. (b) there should be no quotation marks - it's just telling what he said without really quoting him.

    3 (c) there should be a comma after the word "hours". if you read it slowly out loud, you will hear that you pause at that point. You put the comma by yourself when reading it out loud.

    Hope that helps
