String them up and you have the the funniest words: Korosaserarenai de kudasai. "Please don't allow me to let you be killed" or some shit like that.

I say "some shit like that" all the time. Also I make frequent "Yoda-like", "Yoda-esque" type statements. I shit you not--I use those exact words.  | |

Are you on passive forms yet? There are totally obscure passive sentence structures that will do your head in. I took 2 English courses in college and 3 literature courses. I think it'll come back to me eventually
Of course, back then I could spell relatively well. oh shit  !It'll come back, but will you want it there? It's information that never seemed to sit well in my brain, like penis forced in dry, unwilling poontang. The more I read this thread the more I see I really have forgotten so much of it. We're only talking 6 or 7 years ago that I studied it as intensely as you're doing now but it's really nearly all gone. I nearly didn't post on this thread at all. You're going to love teaching. | |

If you do, omit any princebonics.I think I stumped my tutor because I asked him a question about a tense which they call the future 'going to' tense, which isn't really technically the correct way to refer to it. He was a bit taken aback that I was able to explain what it actually was consider in regular college English. I'm suspecting most TEFL students are just flunkies look for an excuse to travel. How did he take it? I only ask because Voldemort managed to irk his tutor so much that she got him a replacement tutor.
And yes, either flunkies looking for an excuse to travel or old drunks/paedophiles looking for a way to stay in one place forever. Or flunkies looking for a foot in the door so they can be with Mon. . [Edited 8/27/09 17:19pm] | |

Gave me a perfect, absolutely no corrections score, on my Unit 4 material. I'm on 11 now. 9 more to go.
I figured not to piss him off and the cert is pretty much guaranteed at this point. The material isn't that difficult. It's just monotonous. It's pretty similar to going through requirements verifications for my software distribution projects, only I'm not looking to stomp anybody's arrogant ass afterwords.  | |

You certainly seem to be breezing through it. Like you said, it's monotonous work that you just need to get done, but your dedication is impressive (I couldn't see me being the same now, but maybe I'd surprise myself?). Lawd, now I wish I hadn't spent 1,000 GBP and 5 weeks of my life at Inlingua. | |

Imago said: Sentence: I go swimming on Fridays.
I = subject Go = verb swimming = gerund on = prepresitions Fridays = object of preposition And this is in the 'simple present' tense, correct? 
Or is it simple continuous (progressive)? I think to be progressive it should stated "is going swimming", right?
thanks ?? me like swim too | |
