Hi Skrej,
I don't agree with you at all. Urd has always been the one trying to harmonize the entire Norn family so I think Urd should be supported by us. The true villain here is Rint! |
No way. Any old crone wielding scissors is to be feared. Experience has taught me thus.

Hi Skrej,
It might be true that Urd has a tendency to be a bit grumpy at times but I certainly wouldn't call her an old scissor wielding crone. You just don't know what a sweetheart she can be...

I'm happy to accept advice on this one, old chap.
Which way round do you teach them?

First, why did/would you decide to teach existential "there" before "the imperative"?
| Quote: |

The way round each adult student needed them. |

1. That was your assumption, not MrP's
2. Interesting. So what would that be then?

You want me to decide exactly when the many students will each feel they have a need for each form? |

Do you teach ESL or EFL, Ralf? If an elementary level student showed that he needed to make qualified statements, would you teach him conditional forms? |

OK, you have no answer. Just questions. Get back to me once you've taught your first lesson.

Just add a "felt he/she" between "student" and "needed". I thought it was implied, but... |
