I wonder when our Chief Executive visited to Singapore, did he explore whether English grammar was taught in schools there or elsewhere in other countries ? Can anybody tell us ?

I don't know either.  But, in my opinion, the teaching of English grammar is most important to all students learning English, since they will learn that set of rules describing the structure of English language and controlling the way how English sentences are properly formed.

Hi brother dd05ng,

In spite of my white hair and my hair-line being pushed more and more backwards than before, I have not considered myself being an old man until you and brother neiahyeah ...

It was very well said, and I would like to join and follow your good deeds to help whenever the occasion deems feasible and appropriate.



You have such a right attitude towards helping our younger generation on their less than satisfactory written English that is very touching indeed.
