      English Teacher's errors in spelling.

      hi chen ~
      to be honest i don't think the words 'trooping' and 'seating' are in their right usage here..

      isn't 'trooping' used more for a group of (or at least a few) people? so strictly speaking one can't say \"I trooped out of the kitchen\" since there is only one person involved.

      it's harder to explain for 'seating', but frankly i've never come across the expression \"seating myself\". (\"I was seated..\", yes.)
      Why not just say \" I clambered upon it and sat down beside my good friend Jack.\" ?

      jmho..

      Seat oneself
      Seat yourself
      Seat myself
      All are correct.

      Thanks for noticing the wrong use of trooping that Teacher DID NOT correct. There were many others she did not correct. However, what is more salient is the mistakes she made when she corrected. You're really sharp to notice what she DID NOT correct.

                šŸ™‚ Good Job Chenonceau's DS. Too bad this EL teacher of his can't even acknowledge it. :?

                      This T needs to earn a living too. I can't bear to shame her like that.

                        Hopefully the teacher doesn't browse the web one day and trips upon your blog. :xedfingers:
