12/25 Assignment 10

My question:
Is this sentence's gramer wrong?
God always be with us.


My friend tells me the answer is wrong!
The "always" must put behind be verb and the verb is "is" not be.
The other one thought the answer is right, beacuse the senstence omits "May"
So...what is the correct answer?

Learning English message boards's answer by Jay* (U2975371)
If you are asking God to be with you, then the wording is fine.
You also would need a comma after God.
If that is not what you are saying then the sentence can be: God is always with us.

I make a mistake on my question. The word grammar is spelled gramer.

A non-believer (and perhaps even a few believers) might suggest that it is more useful to learn to spell "grammar" correctly.

Usually, we put words like "always", "sometimes", "seldom" after "be verb." Your sentence should be--
God is always with us. This sentence means that no matter where you go, God will protect you and will be with you.

However, if you're doing a pray and ask God to give you courage and to stay with you, then, you might say--
God, please always be with us.
