At one point i am not agree with u and feeling u r wrong. in sentence “he is dying” dying is is not gerund but is main verb.is -helping verb and dying is main verb hence is+dying= complete verb.in addition to that this sentence has’t not any object.wats urs reaction abt this

    Monday, May 9th 2011Reply to this comment

hello Ronnie teacher. i learning all of you. I have question. which sentense is correct?
my cell phone is dead
my cell phone is dying.

Thursday, May 12th 2011Reply to this comment

    Both are correct – one is past tense. (My cell phone is dead)
    “My cell phone is dying” is present continuous – which means it is happening NOW!

    Thursday, May 12th 2011Reply to this comment

Hi Ronnie,

I enjoy your lesson so much.

BTW, may I ask u something? If ‘my cell phone is dead’ is a past tense, then ‘why don’t we say ‘my cell phone was dead’.

Sunday, May 15th 2011Reply to this comment

    If you say your cell phone was dead, that means that it died and now it is alive. This is past tense.
    If you say it is dead, it is present tense, not past.

    Tuesday, May 17th 2011Reply to this comment

Thank you teacher. It’s good lesson.

Tuesday, May 24th 2011Reply to this comment

hello runnie, thank u for the lesson pls am confuse on how to use “yours” e.g some one send u a greating message and u don,t want to repeat your self is “&yrs” do u want use or “and u too” pls i will be waiting for your reply. thank you

Thursday, June 2nd 2011Reply to this comment

    Yours means it belongs to someone: “That baby is yours.”
    You can say “and you too” or “and you” — this is a way to reply if someone says… “Have a good day”. You can say: “You too!”

    Saturday, June 4th 2011Reply to this comment

Dear Ms. Ronnie,
Thank you for your lesson. I have a question, “how could we tell politely someone is dead.”
Eg: My grandpa passed away yesterday! (Is this a polite sentence?)
Please advise with alternatives.

Sunday, November 20th 2011Reply to this comment

Hi Teacher!! :)! I have a question that When someone is older than us is dead, but we do not want to say like that because it’s not polite. So what should we say in this case?
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!! :)!
