I thought about it since I logged in as an admin but didn't do it. Plus I would want to see how everyone feels about that. Folks might feel inhibited which would go against the point of the group. A space were you can make as many mistakes as you want that can help you learn. Without worrying someone is going to listen to those mistakes later. But I will let others chime in on how they feel and roll with that.

Why did you ask?

We went over verb tenses. Basically we each gave verbs and asked the group to conjugate it into various tenses. We flip-flopped between giving the verbs in Twi and english. We plan on doing the same thing next meeting on May 14.

@Agya Kwaku @Akua Boateng @kwaku omowale

In Asante-Twi Learners Reference Grammar by David Adu-Amankwah, the letter Ɛ is optional as a suffix when putting the verb in the past tense. Adding the e or i where appropriate is mandatory. Now I know why I kept leaving it off Ɛ yesterday when we were going through the past tense.

My apologies, we had a naming ceremony for my son this past weekend and I was busy entertaining family.

Did I break etiquette or was my grammar jacked up or both? :cry: I was trying to ask, What do you call him? Are saying I should have asked, "Ne din de sɛn?"

What can I do if I would like to join the study group? I work tomorrow, but this is something I would want to partake in.
I have wanted to take a class, but I feel like a study group might be better for me at this time.
Are all of the classes on Sundays?
