Tatiana TS #9

I had a Skype session with Dojun Kim. He lives in Korea and if I heard correctly he is 40 years old (bad connection at times with Skype). His English is pretty decent. We started off quickly introducing each other. I asked him to tell me about his childhood and adulthood up until now using past tense. He was able to use irregular and regular past tense words very correctly. His main beautiful mistakes were with preposition usage. I went over the main three prepositions used daily (in, on, at). When I explained the uses for each preposition I provided many examples, which really helped him. He then asked me about the prepositions "beyond" and "through." The word "beyond" was simple to explain and use in sentences. However, the word "through" has numerous meanings when being used as a preposition. I had to give a fair amount of examples. He is a quick learner. He is learning English on his own now, so I am helping him with any questions he has. As homework, I asked him to use the prepositions we discussed to write clear sentences. We will go over his sentences at the start of the next session.
