Hi Jason,

I'm interested in your product. Could you explain a bit how it works? Also, I assume it is to be watched on a computer???

Thanks,

Hi everyone, Occasionally some of my private English students here in Mexico ask me to recommend intensive English courses in the US. I have been doing a lot of research on the Internet to see which schools I would be willing to represent, but there is nothing like hearing feedback from teachers abo...

Hi, sorry, I don't know why that went three times! How can I delete the extra two???

Use was/ were (without did!) if you're talking about the verb "to be", and use "did" for all other verbs in the past when you are using them in the negative or question form. Examples with the verb "to be" in the past: She was sick last Monday. She wasn't sick that Monday Was she sick last Monday? T...

Thank you, you guys are great!!!!!

Why do we say "Could you tell me where the bank is?", instead of "Could you tell me where is the bank?". Or, "I wonder what time he left?", instead of "I wonder what time did he leave?" I'm having trouble figuring out why these types of questions don't use the regular question word order! Thanks in ...

Hi, I'm looking for a book with explanations and exercises on all the confusing word pairs, such as:

Something vs. anything
Yet vs. still
Look vs. see vs. watch
Say vs. tell
All (of) vs. the whole
Etc.

Does anyone know of such a book?
Thanks!

Hey Revel, My students would kill me if I didn't give conversation ("chat")! Do you really think it's that bad? I give them a topic at the beginning of class, we discuss it for 20 minutes or so, and I write the new vocabulary on the board (which they write in their notebooks). Then we use the remain...

OK, that makes sense. I've been using a CD player, and it's true, with mine you have to replay the whole track, when what you really want is just to back up a few seconds. But then again with a cassette player, it would be hard to find the track you left off on if you use the same tape for several d...

Revel, On the other side of the coin, they are not told that there is a difference between the present participle "ing" form in a verb construction like the continuous (or progressive) and the gerund noun-form of a verb, they are both referred to as "gerunds". A nice example where terminology create...

Juan!!! I said easy tips, not random burblings! But thanks anyway!

Someone here had a really simple, helpful "tip" to get Spanish speakers to quit agonizing over do/does in questions. They said something like "tell them to think of the do/does as the ¿ in Spanish". Does anyone have any other tips of this type? For example, is there any way to get them to dissasocia...

Hi everyone, I've never used the audio CD's and cassettes that most publishers sell along with their texts, but I'd like to start. However, I have one question...which equipment do you like best...a CD player or cassette player? I thought it was hands down a CD player, but then I remembered reading ...
