I always hated that part of school and to this day have never ever needed any of that crap. I just did enough to get by and the funny thing is, my mother is an English teacher and she agreed with me lol. She always said the only people that ever needed to have that knowledge were people that wanted to go back to school and teach English too lol. There was no way in he## I was ever going to be a teacher so she never fussed at me.

I use my junior high and high school grammar lessons quite frequently, and I'm not an English teacher.

I am a teacher, though.

Those old lessons (including thousands of practice sessions at sentence diagramming) also helped me in my college studies of linguistics. They can make learning to read a foreign language much easier, too. This is because it makes it easier to analyze your sentence structure to make sure that it is correct. I'll admit that I have forgotten some of the more advanced grammatical concepts, such as gerund and infinitive phrases. Hopefully I'm using them correctly, regardless! I wouldn't be able to diagram those anymore, though.

How about...."Something interesting happened on the way to work today", or "What you see out your window", or Your favorite recipe or animals you have had in your life, or your favorite saying or favorite author

Any of that help?

It is more like "How am I going to get those quail away from Roz?" Hubby will be a piece of cake.
