Interesting an useful lesson Benjamin. There’s no need to be rude. Being polite allows you to get almost everything; no doubt about it.

Thanks. Bye for now.

I am not much keen on the idea of correcting my posted comments, but I do not see any othere way out at the momment (I should’ve proofread this last one):

“Interesting an useful lesson Benjamin” should reads “Interesting AND useful lesson Benjamin”

Yep! I think I’ll leave it that way.

Regino

Great lesson! :D

Thank you for the lesson, Benjamin. I heard “I’m washing my hair tonight” works the same way. Is this expression old-fashioned? And does it exist in American English?

Lili

Thanks a lot,good lesson.

sabina-92

Thank you ! very convenient :)

For my level, it has been a speedy speaking where you have to think quickly to understand the explanations but very useful to train our listening skills and our development of the sound of the pronunciation, sometimes a little difficult with the British accent. Thanks a lot, teacher Benjamin, we’ll have to memorise these sentences to be more polite with the people around us.
