I have, for too long a time, been soooooooooooooo lazy regarding English grammar, satisfied with the confidence that I knew instinctively just what I had to say.
I steered well clear of well-meaning thoughts of doing " just a little bit more "in this regard, because I had always found it so boring a subject. Not any longer.

The " Sunny " is shining, and I am learning, with a new view toward grammar.

Perhaps I will find that, at 70, I am too old to absorb Sunny's teachings, but I certainly hope not.

Thank you Sunny, for making this subject more interesting than ever before.

Hello Torsten,

Thanks for sending me the lesson. I'd like to know how can I get your answer as quick as possible, because I want to improve my writing and speaking skills so I need to talk daily but I don't know how? As you told I should write in this form and I am sorry to say, I wrote it three times, but I didn't get any response from you. so tell me Please, what is the best way to talk to you, and how to get instant answer. Or If anyone want to talk with me and correct my mistake most welcome.

Hello, Sunny.
Thank you for telling me difference between American and British variants of being 'at the weekend" (as The British say) or "on the weekend" (as the American say). Those Americans! They wanted English language to be easier (just remember Webster's dictionary) but they made it more complicated for foreigners - we have to keep in our mind two variants of spelling, grammar and even pronounciation!
As to English abbreviations (shortenings, to be exact) there is one point which differs them from Russian language - they may end them with a vowel but Russian shortenings end on the consonants as a rule.
Yours.
Yuri.
