I believe that that native speaker who replied to you is asking for you to make your best attempt at answering the questions yourself.

If he wasn't, then I am.

P.S. I have moved this thread to the general grammar section. Unless I'm missing something, there doesn't seem to be anything very controvertial here. Smile [:)]

Hi Bugrates

Did your teacher ask you specifically to get input from native speakers of English?

Hi Bugrates,

Is there some reason why you can't try to do these yourself, before we tell you about them?

Trying by yourself first will help your English.
