Well, there's the English class and Vocabulary......
And since I'm such a grammar freak (thanks to my mom, who gave me the task to type out her grammar workbooks), think I should help y'all as well XD
So, I'll just sit back, and wait for my students... ^_^

Okay, what do you think I should start with? 1. Articles (a, an, the) 2. Tenses (Present, Past, Future, Continuous, Past Continuous, Present Perfect, Past Perfect, Perfect Continuous, Future Perfect, Future Continuous etc.) 3. Pronouns 4. Concord ('Everybody', 'Somebody' and 'Nobody' using the singular form of verb, 'some', 'most' and 'all' using the plural verb Form, 'One of' using Singular verb Form, Subjective - Verb Agreements) 5. Conjunctions 6. Gerunds and Infinitives 7. Adjectives 8. Adverbs 9. Active/Passive Voice 10. Preposition 11. Punctuation 12. Reported Speech It's pretty messy...I got half of the list from my mom's grammar textbook

Since I do not know what this is I vote for number 6. ANd we're are studying 9 in school so why not? I could use the extra practice. But you have no verbs? No intransitive or any kind?^,^

I prefer pronouns and idioms; I haven't used them for quite a while now.

No problem, I'll start with gerunds first. (Copying this from my mom's workbook ) 1. A gerund is a word that ends with ‘ing’. It looks like a verb but it is used as a noun. 2. A gerund can be used as: a. the subject of a sentence. e.g. Reading is a useful hobby. b. the object of a verb. e.g. I enjoy swimming. c. the object of a preposition. e.g. Mary scolded me for disturbing. Umm...exercises? Rewrite the following sentences using gerunds. The first one has been done for you. 1. Sharon loves to eat chocolate. Sharon loves eating chocolate.2. The boys like to play football. 3. Your dirty shoes need to be cleaned. 4. David hates to do his homework. 5. Girls love to wear new clothes. 6. Zurina hates to write compositions. 7. Dogs like to chase cats. 8. Ravi likes to listen to the radio. 9. The infant hates to drink milk. 10. My family likes to spend the weekends at the beach.
