I completed the beginner exersises. I thought it was spiffy how they have the difinitions to the parts of speech on the bottom below the sentances, just in case you forget what they are. I didn't struggle on any of the sentances. I understand what nouns and verbs are and how to point them out in a sentance.

I didn't miss any of the beginners, but missed 1 on the advanced, it was a preposition, so i thought it was cool when it told me what a preposition was

The test was easy, but one of the Q. had "mom" & "lit" so I picked mom and got it wrong. There was another one that had "dad" & "shave." I agree with Dan about rushing through it though.

The website was pretty kiddish to me. I got 10/10, then I tried it harder and got 9/10. When asked for it to harder, it did by a little. I struggled on Prepositions the most. Other than that, pretty easy, and kiddish. Thanks a lo, :)

I did both the exercises, it wasn't bad. I thought it was cute with the gorillas xD. It made learning grammar slightly more fun. I did well on both of the games =]

i think that, that is a funner way of learning then doing all the work on paper and then taking a test or writing alot of notes.

Chris.C. 3rd said...

Ethan K period 8 said...

I got 10/10 on the beginer exercise and then I tried it harder and got 9/10. When i asked for it to go harder it did a little but not alot. I struggled on the adverbs the most i kept getting it mixed up with verbs.
