"Luckily you all will have corrected some grammar errors, which are silly and easy to solve,  by the end of the semester", the old professor stated. Some explanations are so incredibly complicated that teachers have to post their lessons so that the students can concentrate on the topic completely.

Fundamentally, verbs fall into two classes: static ( to be, to seem, to become ) and dynamic ( to whistle, to waffle, to wonder ).  These two classes are sometimes called “passive” and “active,” and the former ar
