Skip….. you’re good!
Yeah Skip, nice work.
You certainly gave her the benefit of the doubt, but it sure seems like you caught her there in the end with a heavy contradiction.
I look forward to reading her responses to your well-put questions.
Yay Skip!
I was like, huh? in the last paragraph because she clearly contradicted herself. It is preposterous to think that a person needs to know what a past participle is in order to use it correctly. I never realized being able to diagram a sentence, the bricks that Kathleen talks about, was important for fluency. I myself do not know what a conjunction is but I do know that I use them correctly all the time. Does this mean that I am missing a brick in the foundation of my ability to produce English? It sounds like this “structure” is the same a “grammar” just using a more modern, more ‘wolf in sheep’s clothing’ time of jargon.
I’m so proud of you for entering into this discussion with her. Cannot wait to “hear” her response!
with love,
Laurie
