Sentences 011: The CEO Taking Liberties

I've never seen any though", said the CEO to the board.


"I've never seen any though", said the CEO to the board." "I've never seen any though."

"We kindly asked the CEO to give in his notice of resignation as we are put out because of his laziness.," "We kindly asked the CEO to give in his notice of resignation as we are put out because of his laziness,"

As written, it sounded more like British English, so I'm not sure if my correction of "notice of resignation" is correct. In American English, the sentence would probably be better written as: "We asked the CEO to turn in his resignation as his laziness has really impacted the company."

said the board in a press statement.


said tThe board said in a press statement. The board said in a press statement.

Since you ended the quote in a period instead of a comma, this should be a new sentence.
