By Vocabulary, Past tenses

That merely relates to vocabulary. There is no difference in grammatical difficulty between "it was a/an <adjective> party" and "it was a/an <adjective> party".However, according to your earlier posts, there is a great difference in difficulty between "He...

Dear Sushi*, I'm not a professional but as a reader you know I certainly have something to say. This is my personal opinion about your poem. Maybe it's right and maybe it's wrong. But it's really what I feel about what you wrote. Honestly, I like your poem a lot and I like the vocabulary you...
