Well, I know the difference between an adjective and an adverb, I just 
can't identify them in a sentence reliably, and forget about 
prepositions, appositives, gerunds, infinitives, etc...
Which is unfortunate, since the curriculum mostly consists of 
identifying sentence parts...
I already took American Literature and General Literature(or World 
Literature), they counted as English classes too, as I recall. Basic 
Composition was bad, but I managed to get through it. My biggest problem 
is Grammar III, I just failed the past two grading periods and am not on 
a good start in the current one.
