    One thing I like in your methodology is that you are never "glued" to a blackboard ....I think this is excellente because you kind of " force" us to listen to you attentively, reading your lips, and we have the subtitles to study afterwards , listening to you. You are a genious.

    What makes it efficacious is that we learn the native texture of the language from the native speakers. In some instances, non-native speakers commit the prepositional errors, because of vernacular impact and they certainly get clarified when attending to your classes. More significantly, there is a double advantage in this programme, as we are truly enabled to gain the contents and to understand the manner of articulation by the native speakers. Great thanks to Great Teacher. So nice of you Sir.(Ravi)

S - TV - 10 - DO (Subject - Transitive Verb - Indirect Object Direct Object) e.g. The instructor assigned Steve poetry. S - LV - PN (Subject - Linking Verb - Predicate Noun) e.g. She was the office manager. S - LV - Adj. (Subject - Linking Verb - Predicate Adjective) e.g. Roses smell delightful. S - TV - DO - OC (Subject - Transitive Verb - Direct Object Object Complement) e.g. Joan considered Will her friend.

    Here in Russia, we were taught that the difference between 'must' and 'have to' is quite the opposite. 'Must' should be used when someone/authority puts you in a position of obligation: "The teacher says that we must visit the local police to learn driving rules". But if obligation isn't that strong we should use 'have to': "I have to exercise more to lose weight'.
