This Ask a Teacher forum is designed so that learners can ask questions to teachers about the English language.
Post Titles:
Thread titles should include all or part of the word/phrase being discussed. (Avoid phrases like "HELP!", "Urgent!", "translation please", "how do I say this", "I'm new" and similar expressions.)
About Replying to Posts:
You are welcome to answer questions posted in the Ask a Teacher forum as long as your suggestions, help, and advice reflect a good understanding of the English language. If you are not a teacher, you will need to state that clearly in your post. Please note, all posts are moderated by our in-house language experts, so make sure your suggestions, help, and advice provide the kind of information an international language teacher would offer. If not, and your posts do not contribute to the discussion in a positive way, they will be subject to deletion.
Homework:
Please don't ask us to do or correct your homework; this is a place to discuss language.
Be Patient:
There are many posts on this forum every day. Please be patient when waiting for a response to your question. It is difficult for one person to keep up with all the questions. (Indeed!) It is difficult for several people to keep up with all the questions. You might not get an immediate response. You might have to wait a while. So please be patient.
If you can't see your post:
Sometimes, when you submit a post, it may seem to disappear. This may happen when you submit a post with a link in it. When this happens: Don't panic!
Your post hasn't disappeared; it has simply been flagged for moderation. When the moderator has looked at the post and decides that it is not spam, he or she can "approve" the post, and then it will be visible to everybody. Please don't try to resubmit your post. All that happens is that all your posts get moderated and queue up for approval. Just wait for a moderator to approve your post.
