My dear friends! Being a professional teacher of English grammar, I decided to start this group to help you improve your knowledge of the subject. Many members asked me to do it and I do feel like that! So, I am planning to start a few discussions where you will be able to ask me questions or to have some practice. I'd also like to involve my husband, a native speaker, who is supposed to be helpful. So, how do you feel about such a group?

Dear teachers I think you are well and happy to some extent.
I will appreciate if you could help me in writing a scenario on a topic in English. It's something new in my country and I'm not so efficient in it.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Many regards from Greece.

Teacher Dan, thank you so much for the link. :)
Yes, I have checked the article on other source, it was typo.
Thank you once again. ^^
Teachers,
I'd like to ask about this sentence from an article. I don't understand the bold words. Hope to hear your enlightenment. Thank you in advance. :)
"The top down, teach-and-lest method, in which learning is motivated by a system of rewards and punishments rather than by curiosity or by any real desire to know, is well designated for indoctrination and obedience training but not much else."
Dear Lone Wolf,
You explained very well. I believe you are an excellent teacher.
Best wishes,

Hi, dear Top!
TO LIVE is to exist, to be alive (contrary TO BE DEAD). We live until we die. It may also mean our lifestyle, place of residence, etc.
TO SURVIVE means to continue to live (not to die) despite some danger, accident or hardship.
Here are a few examples:
We live in a very picturesque place.
Some people have no subsistence to live.
He survived in a plane crash.
They surived despite not having water to drink.
He has got severe injuries but he will survive.
Dear Bet, in the first sentence I would say "I could hardly tell the difference..." In my sentence, it is a compound verb.
The second sentence is grammatically correct and it is the simple present tense.
The rest sentences are incorrect.
3. Doesn't make sense and the verb is in the simple form (like). I would say "I will hardly call him again".
4. It is so-so. If you say "by 6 pm", you should use the future perfect tense.
5. You wanted to use the passive voice. So, it must be
I will hardly be forgotten by you.
Dear Simran, these two adjectives are really tricky. They are different but may be synonyms in some cases. It is a good question. Speaking about people
LONE may mean "without being accompanied, solitary or single, isolated, lucking a support of others".
ALONE may mean "on one's own, single-handed (without others' help or participation), lonely and isolated".
Here are a few examples:
I saw a lone man getting drunk in the bar.
He was a lone man, without family or friends.
She felt so alone and exposed.
Can you do it alone?
Leave me alone!
Thanks a lot dear Tanya....I think now I know what is predicates...my examples are...
1. I hardly found any difference between the twins! (simple past tense)
2. I hardly like shopping.(simple present)
3. I like hardly call him (complex)
4. I will hardly be there by 6 o'clock.
5. I will have hardly forgotten by you.
