Lynne is now into tea for a while. At least that is what she says, but nobody would believe her.

Thanks for all the lovely posts.

As far as that Covid thing. I don ´t think it is over. Am not to optimistic. Used to be ´high risk ´ but now luckily double vaccinated.

Stay safe all of you.

Still unable to post pictures here or on the forum.

Luckily still able to upload worksheets.

All the best to all for you.

A special hi to Esther Jannabanna Gurnmoor and many others.

Hi Dears,
Can someone possibly give me an idea  about how to teach adults English for communication 🆘

It all depends on their level, but you ´ll find lots of resources on this site.  Just search for "conversation" or "communication".

Personally I have uploaded several ideas:


Of course, there are also plenty of ideas on the Internet.

Hi teachers, my student had an interesting query, which I am unable to provide a decent response to. My hunch is that it has to do with register.

Sample sentence: "It is imperative that Jeff contact his client immediately."

Why is there no ´s ´ at the end of the verb ´contact ´, when the subject is the 3rd person singular?

My student ´s question: "How about the case of adjectives?

I have a sentence on my text book.

It is imperative that Jeff contact his client immediately.

I understand the above sentence is right.

Could I also say as follows?

It is imperative that Jeff contacts his client immediately."

This is the response I sent, I just need confirmation that it is correct, any input would be appreciated!

My response
"English certainly is weird, because we are told that for 3rd person singular (he/she/it), in affirmative sentences, the verb should get an ‘s’. 

I am not entirely sure you say ‘adjectives’, do you mean ‘imperative’?

The sample sentence omits the ‘s’ because of register. It is more formal to use ‘contact’.

More info on register: https://www.really-learn-english.com/language-register.html

I couldn’t find any good external references to confirm my conclusion, but I think I am right in saying this J

I have, however, contacted my colleagues to ask for their input, and will let you know if I get a suitable response to confirm my statement."

Hi  to all of you dearest friends. 

I have been less active lately. 

One question. What ´s going on on the forum.

I live Darija Dackala but it seems impossible to start anything else !!!????

All the best to all of you.

It seems like this site is dying or is it me ???

Maybe the site isn ´t dying, but the café surely is lol. Maybe many have moved on to other sites or mobile apps?

Hi everyone, haven ´t dropped by for ages!  As you know I ´m retired now so don ´t have much "teaching" news but I do get the odd student wanting lessons via skype.  

It ´s a pity we don ´t keep in touch as much as before but we all go our separate ways!  

In fact some people ask questions about teaching here when it should be the place where we chat, send personal messages or wishes and share silly/funny images.

The forum is for asking "teaching" questions.

We are in a heatwave down here in Provence, France; 35 yesterday and 36 today!  Should cool down a little next week, but July and August are generally hot!

Take care everyone!

Welcome Back, as you can see the group is a bit quiet and lack luster. The ´greats ´ have long abandoned it and gone to pastures new. many have benfitted personally by impetus to publish and create own institutions and gain financially!!!
Anyway a few of us are still loitering about!!!

Hello, well, it ´s 2023. I am retired apart from a bit of this and that - invigilating, attending French conversation groups, watching daytime TV. This is my news: I ´m going to travel the world and I ´m coming to visit anyone who reads this. In fact, look out of your window now and you ´ll see me. Get the kettle on and I like a nice bit of cake.
