I'll have to give you 100 lines. Get your pencil and jotter and write out 100 times:-
"Ships I sailed on", or better still, "Ships I have sailed on"
This could be an introduction to the exciting world of Grammar, Syntax and Vocabulary.

We'll our less professional brothers do have boats. To be on a boat would, for most of its service, be most hazardous (one hopes, surely we do not finance submarines for them to lounge all day on the surface). Therefore it is safer for them to serve in. Anyway, we should allow them to serve wherever they like to serve providing they come to our aid when we need them.
