Hi, Alexander!  Recently you wrote in a message to All:

AK>  Maybe our honorable teachers can give a homework
AK>  for us?


           Ahh.  There's an invitation I can't refuse... [chuckle].

           Homework, BTW, is not countable but homework assignments are.



AK>  Do you have school tests on Grammar rules etc?


           Tests, no.  A grade 9/10 grammar textbook which includes questions, yes.  I may be able to get some ideas from it.  Meanwhile:


             1)  "Etc." is an abbreviation which calls for a period, but
                 you're also asking a question here.  AFAIC it's okay to
                 use a period followed by a question mark in such cases.


             2)  Can you pluralize these words?

                     tooth

                     lens

                     cactus

                     goose

                     moose

                     mouse

                     brother-in-law

                     wife

                     woman

                     index

                     memorandum

                     millennium


             3)  What corrections or improvements would you suggest here?

                     Me and Ruth went shopping yesterday.

                     I bought this car off of my friend Pete.

                     Hopefully it won't rain tomorrow.

                     I only have $20 in my pocket.

                     The reason I didn't hand in my assignment is
                      because I forgot it at home.

                     For more information or to buy now, call xxx.



AK>  Perhaps, it would be fun to make them out.


           I hope you enjoy the above....  :-))
