Parents are catching up My dad, who is in his 60s, has recently amazed by internet. It's all because we got him a modern phone which can access to the internet lately. Since then, he started to have millions of questions of how to use it. Such as just now, he had trouble watching a bird video from a website, he said he has been struggling for a couple of days and that bird was pretty rare to see. Not too difficult, I successfully found and downloaded the video for him. He was thrilled and shared that video with 3 of his best friends immediately. They exchanged their joy of watching that through Weixin (a chatting tool that is very popular now in China), and I heard my dad laughing. I felt happy that I was able to help him, and made him laugh. We will all getting old and out of date, I hope my child will help me catching up as well just like what I am doing for my dad.

Mary this is a very well written post with just a few errors! To explain a few things:

* We usually don't start a sentence with "such as" (it's more common to follow a statement).

* The past continuous tense ("was having") is used to describe events that are still happening at the time of the narration.

* The future tense combines an auxiliary verb ("will") with the verb ("get") ; to write the continuous future you'd have to write "we will be getting"

I don't know if these explanations are helpful, but maybe so! Happy learning :)
