DYNAMIC
Dear Teachers,
1) The boy is very talkative / obedient / violent / dynamic in class.
2) The girl does not often pay much attention in class.
3) The pupils usually play in the learing of hours.
4) Has anyone in this class got married?
- Are these ok to say?
Thanks very much to all Teachers.

From a (southern) British English perspective:
