reported speech hello, I don't understand how to translate this to a reported specch: Giorgio insisted "Stay with us!" The right translation is: Giorgio insisted that we stay with them, but I don't understand why I don't have to use the past form. Thank you.

Facebook and restaurant. It's about one month yet that I stopped with facebbok because I find myself using so much time on it. Yesterday I went out to the restaurant and I didn't take out my smartphone from my poket thus I started to look around me to the other people who was waiting for food. I was surprised by a table with Dad, Mom and son. Both parents was abducted by their smartphones and their son was sitting looking them. It's made me wondering what is gone wrong in our society.

How is difficult to understand Mr Ken Robinson This afternoon I watched a video on ted.com as my teacher suggested me. I was attracted by Ken Robinson video "How schools kill creativity" but immediately I thought that I jumped the gun. Is there anybody who has watched that video that could tell me how difficult is to listen that man? Or better say, is it too much difficult for someone who is trying to learn english? sometimes I really didn't understand words and concern of what he was speaking about. Thank you.

I'm going worse Today I took My third lesson with my teacher (very good and patients), but it seems to me that I'm going back. Maibe it's depends either on Monday or tired, but it's make me feel very angry with myself. I hope that next lesson will be better than this.

Please, why "I'll tell it to my mother" isn't correct and "I'll tell to my mother" is OK? Thank you.

I don't understand the differences between doing and making, having and taking, thank you so much!
