Great lesson, Joseph! For next time, I have phrasal verbs listed in my notes, and maybe a little work on vocabulary and idioms.

    About prepositions: on summer nights? in summer nights? Insects fly into our rooms on/ in summer nights. To me 'on' and 'in' are both correct and mean the same. I'm not sure if I'm right or there may be some slight difference. Also, 'at night' is to say the time when the sky is black, it's more general and abstract, for example, We can see stars at night. Am I right? Thanks!

    Can "rich" and "poor" be used as nouns? He was adored by rich and poor alike. This sentence is from my textbook. I'm thinking why not "the rich and poor alike"? (the + adj.) Also, if "rich" and "poor" are nouns here, why not "riches" and "poors"? Thank you!

    about "used to do" " We are less credulous than we used to be." The sentence is from my textbook. But I'm thinking, should I write it without the last "be" as "We are less credulous than we used to", would the sentence also be correct? Thanks!

    Is this a correct sentence? Confused with the singular and plural forms. We sometimes imagine cats to be a sort of independent animal who lead mysterious lives of their own. or should I say: We sometimes imagine cats to be a sort of independent animal who leads a mysterious life of its own. Or neither is natively correct? x_x Thank you so much!

    "Ripe fruit falls from the trees", why 'falls' not 'fall'? Fruit is both countable and uncountable. Is it because here it is used as uncountable to refer to all kinds of fruits as a whole? Also, if I say "Ripe fruits fall from the trees." This is correct too and means exactly the same right? Thank you!

A. objected, B, aimed, C, targeted, D, figured The correct choice is C, and I was luckily right. But I'm thinking aren't 'aimed' and 'targeted' are the same thing? Thanks!
