A Comprehensive Guide to English Grammar and its Application to Fictional Writing

[Shadowwalker]

Not being a native speaker too, I find guides to english useful. Even if i understand most of the conversation here/post my 2 cents without using a dictionary too heavy I'm faaar away from speaking english fluently.

So - good idea, like (hopefully it's not a banned word now in this topic ) it very much.

And good start for a guide. Clear and precise too.

Hey Desert, you´ll never guess what my Spanish class reviewed today: the gerund/participle! I love it.

[Hax]

Very good! I like much!

But on a more serious note: this is really helfpul for people who need help with this. Thank you.

Gerund and participle in the same lesson? WTF

[Owen Glyndwr]

Well, sort of. I'm in Spanish 4, and in that class we did gerunds (Estoy comiendo, Sigo hablando, etc.). However, I also TA for a Spanish 2 class, and there I was grading tests involving participles (He comido, hemos hablado, etc.)
(I also take a French 1 class, but whatever. The most I can do there is conjugate -er verbs; and the irregulars être, prendre, avoir, and aller. (Just for the record, the French keyboard layout is way more confusing than the Spanish one.)

So yeah, that's what I mean, I suppose I should revise that statement then: "Hey Desert, you´ll never guess what my Spanish classes reviewed today: the gerund and past participle!

I think this a wonderful Idea! I'm a native speaker myself, but my russian gets messed up with my english at times and well that gets confusing. Keep this up.
