Yes. However, I'm flagging this as off-topic ("no research/ELL"). Hi Gugma, you may not be aware that our other site English Language Learners is the best place to look for answers on English questions that a fluent speaker would find trivial. If you have a question for ELL, be sure to read their guidance on what you can ask. :-)
