Clubtheworld remedial English classes

[Kether]

I'll be quite willing to make this a free and bi-weekly event.

 

Prize of a free wimpy burger and shake to whoever comes top of the class.

 

Any takers?

i don't think people will voluntarily take this class. some people just don't know they're bad spellers.

 

your'e going to have to identify the poor ones yourself (both in spelling and in monetary terms).

As long as he promises not to cause any trouble, from what I've heard he has behavioural problems.

[Capn Jack]

What a quality idea Kether!!

[Cherry]

I'll come to your class, Kether. I love English and grammar and spelling and stuff

 

 

i DOOOO!

 

 

I reckon your first lesson should include "you're" and "your" and which is which.

 

 

Are you gonna do lessons on when to use "may" and when to use "might"? Could do with learning that...

[TomD]

i don't think there's a "rule" regarding might and may - i just checked Fowler's and there's nothing on it.

 

in terms of the possibility of something happening, i think might and may are pretty much interchangeable. although that's not the case if you're asking permission for something, eg. you can't say "might i go to the toilet please Kether" during class, because that would be wrong.

i'm sure i've heard 'might' used in that context in Shakespeare plays. but then that’s not really the best piece of literature to learn grammar by
