Sentence correction
0 Hi, 02 br
02 br
00 I was having a chat with someone and wrote the undermentioed sentences. Althought they seem correct to me, but I am not so sure. 02 br
02 br

00 " 01 b 00 Thanks a lot Dreamer! Frankly speaking, I have seen what institutes teach you at their classroom sessions, and really I was not much impressed. PY was an exception, reasons being they have maintained such a good site and the fundamentals described there are done so in such a thoughtful manner that one can't resist learning them. But as you said, the time and travel both are major issues. " 02 b 02 br
02 br
00 First reason is that I started with present perfect and then moved to past. Is it correct? " 01 b 00 I have seen what institutes teach you at their classroom sessions, and really I was not much impressed". 02 b 02 br
02 br
00 Second reason is that I started off with past tense " 01 b 00 PY was an exception 02 b 00 ," and then moved to present perfect beacuse the reason still holds true " 01 b 00 reasons being they have maintained such a good site 02 b 00 ". Is it okay? 02 br
02 br
00 Third is I have used " 01 b 00 described 02 b 00 " in " 01 b 00 the fundamentals described there are done so in such a thoughtful manner that one can't resist learning them", 02 b 00 I have omitted " 01 b 00 that are 02 b 00 " from " 01 b 00 the fundamentals that are described" 02 b 00 and made the above sentence and it does sound correct to my ears. 02 br
02 br
00 Just want a second opinion on my writing. Do point out mistakes in the whole post if there are any. 02 br

00 Thanks, 02 br

0 Your tenses are fine, but I really strugged to understand " 01 b 00 what institutes teach you at their classroom sessions. 02 b 00 " 02 br

00 I think you mean "what is taught by institutes in their classrooms" and eventually I got that meaning, but I'm not sure. 02 br

0 Thanks a lot Grammar Geek! Yes, you have got it right. That's what I intended to say. If I had provided the context of the conversation it would have been a lot simpler to understand what I meant. I had this conversation with a friend of mine who had (or has as he is still enrolled there, don't know which one to use) joined a coaching institute for an exam. I am also preparing for the same exa

0 I eventually got that meaning, but see if you can see how I first read it as "which of the institutes teach "elcid"..." and then I got confused. I expected the subject matter that was taught to follow the verb "teach." I teach Spansih, she teaches quantum physics, the insitute teaches you... 02 br

0 Call me anything you like! I'm glad it was helpful. However, tense, which is a major obstacle for many, seems to be no problem for you. 0-
