Yes, Yancey. Practice and getting to know the culture really helps when learning English. I actually feel like I am a better teacher now (to Chinese) because I know China a little. I think we people on our planet need to spend time talking to each other to understand each other and learn our languages. Also, jusy yesterday I realized there are 3 (or more) different words to describe the same thing in the US. The top you can put on a pick up truck is called a cap in Indiana, a topper in California and yesterday here in Oregon I saw it advertised as a canopy.

I enjoyed our session, despite the frequent interruptions to our connection. You were very patient and were not put off when reading to me. Your reading of those articles that you had not seen before, was good with only a few words that were difficult to pronounce such as "Starring" and "Theatre" (British English) and "Theater" (American English) You have a pleasant sense of humour and a good attitude to learning. I look forward to our next session!

    A question about tense I watched a moive,and there was a scene in it. A woman named Mary visited her son,and her son asked her to live with them for several days.But two days latter,her son told Mary:'Mum,you should go back to your own home.' Mary was very astonished and asked:'Why? Why did you say that? What have I done?' My question is why Mary used the present perfect tense(she said 'What have I done')?Why not 'What did I do?' Tense is very very tough for me.We don't have such a concept as tense in Chinese. Please help me with the question . Thank you

    A question about tense Bill:'Mary ,why are you baking a cake now? it is not time for supper!' Mary:'Bill, this cake is not for you.I visited the Black's in the morning. Do you still remember Mrs Black's son --little Tom? Poor boy, he was sick,so I am baking a cake for him.' I don't understand, why Mary says'Tom was sick' instead of saying 'Tom is sick'. I believe Tom is still sick when Mary is saying this sentence. Whould you please answer my question? Thank you ..

    A question about grammar. A:I will go out for the moive'The Smurfs' ,Do you want to come with me? B:No,thank you.I have already watched this moive.I watched it last night. ____________________________________________________________ I want to combine the answer of B into one sentence. I want to emphasis the exactly time when I watched this moive in a present perfect sentence. 'I have already watched this moive last night.' I know this sentence is grammatically wrong.'last night ' can't be used in a present perfect sentence. ' I have already watched this moive for one day.'This sentence is correct in the grammar but I think it is kind of weird. Please help me with this sentence. Thank you.

    A queation about tense Witnesses said that there was nothing unusual before the explosion happened. _______________________________________________________ I study English tense now,so I pay more attention on grammar. Witnesses said that there had been nothing unusual before the explosion happened. I think this is the correct sentence ,using the past perfect tense . But the sentence above the line is quoted from a newspaper,I believe it was written by a native English speaker,he or she wouldn't make such an mistake . Please tell me whether I am correct.
