I am now, after more than 5 decades in the work force, officially semi-retired. New hobby: gardening. Old hobby restarting: table tennis. I still have some classes to teach and materials to design, many of which I will continue to share with the dear members of ESLPs. You may come across my materials on Facebook and my blog.

A, An or Some
Last semester I gave my uni students a lovely worksheet from Ana (Katiana), which used a, an, some, much, many and any as a review, and they did so badly. Don�t blame me.
