I feel that I have learned more about how to break down and construct basic present tense sentences now than I did in high school. It also confused me more and I still don't think I understand fully how they want us to break down the sentences and teach them to make it...  [Read more]

The conditional form's many variations seems like one of the most difficult part of English to understand and explain.This section was incredibly important because it makes you focus on the idea of being a teacher. ...  [Read more]

In some way, or for some students, can't it be said to be potentially cruel or diminishing--a redundant proving of that which is already known: that you don't know how to say or do a particular thing?
