- Best Teacher / Tutor Types & Styles?As an Italki teacher, I am always thriving to give the best quality classes to my students while also making classes fun and inspiring (see what my students have to say in "my reviews" section). So, this leads me to ask the following questions:What specific qualities does your favorite Italki teacher/tutor have?What specific qualities don't you like in a Italki tutor/teacher?December 12, 201934
- I guess technically one could say that this is correct. But, it does not sound right at all. If someone actually said this, even here in America we would probably have a hard time understanding what they meant. This would work better: In a civilized society, convics are seperated into 2 groups. Those that commited premeditated crimes, and those that did not.

- Good question. One I've answered before. Here is what I told them. To understand “had had,” we need to take a look at the present perfect and past perfect tenses. Take this sentence: “I have had too many chocolates today.” That sentence is in the present perfect tense. You use that tense when you’re talking about a past action that is continuing into the present. This sentence means that I started eating chocolates in the past but the chocolate eating is continuing up to the present. Present perfect tense uses “has” and “have” plus the past participle, as in “have had” and “has gone.” Now let’s put the chocolate sentence in the past tense. To do so, we’ll use past perfect tense, which uses “had” plus the past participle, as in “had had” and “had gone.” So in the sentence “I had had too many chocolates, so I was too full to eat dinner yesterday,” two things happened in the past. First was eating chocolates; second was trying to eat dinner. When you have two past-tense occurrences, you use past perfect to express the action that came first. If you are using the verb “to have” in past perfect, you need to use two “had”s. I hope this helps, Jerry (Teacher)0 votedSeptember 25, 20190
- I think Pelin ask more questions than anyone on the site. :) Always something new and I like that. Anyway, the answer is yes. Teacher to Student - "I want to have a word with you." Students inner thought might be "oh no, what have I done now"? Boss to employee. - "I want a word with you" - Same as above. "Oh no, have I done something wrong? The tone of the voice when the person says this can also have bearing. Ways to say this without making someone have fear about what they talk may be about: 1. I would like to have a word with you. 2. I would like to speak with you. 3. When you get a few minutes I'd like to sit down and talk. 4. I would like to go over a few things with you. I hope this helps, Jerry, (Teacher/Tutor)0 votedSeptember 25, 20190
- It depends on the context of the sentence. They can have the exact same meaning, or they can be different. Look at these examples. All of these have the same meaning. Do you know how to write? Do you know how to write Poetry? Can you write? In the above examples we are asking two things. 1. Can the person actually write? 2. Can the person write poetry? "Do you know how to write" or "Can you write" implies asking if a person knows how to write at all? Like a 4 year old. "Can you write"? but, by adding to the sentence we can assume that yes a person can write, but can they write in cursive? Can you write Java programing? Can you write a letter for me? Do you know how to write in Arabic? Do you see how the structure of the sentence can change the meaning(s)? Hope this helps, Jerry (Teacher/Tutor)0 votedSeptember 25, 20192
