Wes Hen prepared a good class on conditionals (which are my weak point). We worked with a nice piece of Literature and I like working with fiction. I had to think hard in class, but I like challenges and using them for further development.

The teacher repeats Tolerant the more difficult things of English grammar till He and Learnersa are sure they are familiar with those rules
