Hi Keneth,
I just can’t believe it. Your site is of paramount importance to any learner particularly for people learning English as second language. The thing is it exposes us to the ins and outs of English. And all this for free. Think about the idioms, do we still need to travel abroad to learn them? No, I think
Thanks indeed

Your site is really very nice. Congratulations for that.

ANY / SOME I am an english speaker and I got 7 out of 10 correct. Because the example questions are vauge. Have we got some or any milk? same thing in my book.
As with is there any one or some one that can help me. same thing etc etc.
Although I got 10/10
, I agree with Walter that the ANY/SOME test questions would be even better with more context, or perhaps if both answers were accepted when either could be OK. I did not like the sentence
“She has ___ time to help you today” as neither answer is really natural.
Thank you very much for helping us to learn and improve our English. Everything is very clear to understand and it really works.
Excellent and very good job it helps a lot.You are a genius,KEN
thank you and …you must go on.

Dear Mr Kenneth {I hope you allow me the liberty to address you that way], YOU ARE SIMPLY GREAT
thanks alot,
i been studying these lessons since last year and they been helping me a lot…
thank you
I won’t thank because I think the work “Thank” is very small and can not fullfil my gratitude towards the sencere efforts and contents presented by Mr.Kenneth on this website. I don’t have words to express my feelings. I can only say “May God bless you!”
Thanks for all the teaching material you provide us with. I’ve learned a lot, and I’m eager to learn even much more in order to be “updated” on the English Language to help my students. Respectfuly,
