Can I have silly question? Why are the letters in title all start with uppercase? It’s aesthetics or grammar?

Saturday, August 18th 2012Reply to this comment

    This is a style of writing titles in English. There are different styles. Here on engVid, we are not consistent ;)

Wednesday, August 29th 2012Reply to this comment

I’m 26 old also an English teacher for primary level, would like to teach like Mr.James as funny. I teach grades 1 to7. But I love my children much, they enjoy my class too. But my Headmistress has been warning me not to keep close rapport with children. I mean If I laugh, she doesn’t like. She insists me to beat children and frighten them, rather I don’t like this. I love them as I love my Christ Jesus.

Sunday, September 16th 2012Reply to this comment

The four question, I think the server answer is wrong!

Because you told, ace something is do very well in a test, and not:
“Have learned something, and can remember it easily!”

But 9/10, I aced it!

Sunday, September 16th 2012Reply to this comment

I aced the test, 10 on 10, but I prefer not to be the teacher’s pet!

Monday, November 19th 2012Reply to this comment

Hello, teacher James, there’s a query I’d like to ask you, cut class is a verb, isn’t it? so the past tense would be cutted class?

Could I say I never cutted class?

and how about flunk out
I never flunked out?

I hope your answer thanks in advance :)
