Hi again Julia:

Don't be alarmed about your knowledge of grammar. The average America probably knows less than you do about it. It is a complicated subject. Yes, I am discouraged about the dialog activity on the site. I would like to see more questions and comments from students. But, as the site becomes more popular, the activity should increase.

I have never been to Russia but would dearly like to visit before I get to old to travel. I would like to teach English anywhere in Russia. I have my own web site where I advertise myself as a pro-bono teacher. In case you don't know the term, pro bono means "without fee" or "free." I'm looking for short term work almost anywhere for up to 3 months. Just provide a ticket and the essentials and I'll be there in a New York minute.

I hope you're paying attention to my use of idioms and current expressions. Now for your homework:

Make formulas for the simple present, past and future tenses. Use the terms: S = subject. V1 = simple present tense, V2 = simple past tense and C = the remainder of the sentence.

Use a similiar set of sentences (as follows) as you example:

I eat rice; I ate rice and I will eat rice. Good luck.

Your corrections:

Thanks for correcting my sentences! I'm not really good with gramma :) Have you ever been in Russia ?? In Tomsk? How are things going with this site? There are not many people using it. G'day!))

Take care and hang in there.
