Hi Sue
Dear friend, thank you very much for your pluperfect and complete explaining about difference of improve and progress. We read it in our class last Friday and I understood it.
Dear Sue, you asked me "Why are you studying English?"
Nearly 1 year, I went to English classes in different institutes. When I was going to those classes, I didn't like English and I wanted to learn English because good books and articles in my field are English and I must learn English for reading them. Those classes were crowd and boring, and just I was going to the classes for my requirement.
But, since I came to Mr. T's classes and I became member Mr. T and your weblog, I was interested in English and extended my mind and I understood English is very attractive. Now, I study English for itself and also I like to speak English as well as an American in the future. (It is one of my wishes and I hope that you help me until getting to my wish.)
When I was going to institute classes, I didn't read English during weak.
But now, I connect to your site several times at during weak and read its subjects. I am very happy for this my improvement.
But, I don't want to say that all institutes are bad. Some institutes work well but I don't like them.
Your friend, Fattemeh.

Hi Fattemeh, I was glad to get your letter that told me why you disliked studying English in your earlier classes. One thing, the word 'explain' is a verb, but in English we can turn it into a noun, 'explanation'. In your first sentence you need a noun, and it would read "...and complete explanation about {the} difference between improve and progress." Remember your articles (the, an, a) and think hard about prepositions (in or between) She is in the house or it is in the book. Between compares two things, as you are doing in this sentence. I hope this is clear. Remember you can always ask me to explain it again. A wise teacher once told me that questions are not foolish. The foolish thing is to not ask about something you don't understand.
A second correction: You say "Those classes were crowd and boring. 'Crowd' is a noun, but 'were crowded' is the verb in the past tense that you are looking for.
Yes, words can be nouns or verbs, and the structure of the sentence can tell you which you need.
You can tell me something about Farsi, please. Do you have prepositions in Farsi, and can words be both nouns and verbs?
Thank you so much for your letter, Sue
