0"Teach math to people" sounds a little silly, to me. Who else would you teach it to? Very clever donkeys? 05002br

00But if you wanted to specify more about the people you teach to, then "Teach math to gifted students" or "Teach math to people with learning disabilities."010id1

0Hi Grammar,02br
02br
00How about "teach people math?" Does it sound equally silly? Or you just meant the "to" used there making the phrase sound silly? Anyway, would you like to provide more explanation? Thanks.02br

0Now that I think of it, "teach people math" is a 01i00little02i00 silly, but not as silly as "teach math to people" (without a qualifier on what kind of people).02br

00Just "teach math" is fine, and probably preferred.0-

10Hi Grammer Geek and thanks for raising this question, Kekel. 02br
02br
00Could you please explain what '01b00probably preferred' 02b00means? Al

02br
00Possibly - maybe02br
02br
00Preferred - better02br
02br
00I'm not convinced of my own suggestion, so I"m saying maybe instead of just saying "And that's the better way to say it."0-

0I know that "teach math" is fine. 02br
02br
00I'm not convinced that "teach people math" is so bad that "teach math" needs to be the 01i00better02i00 way to say it.0-

0 I think I know a lot more about it now. Thank you for your help again, Grammar Geek. I deeply appreciate your help. 02br

00I have just one more question. 01font00Am I right in thinking that you think to say "teach people math" is a bit silly while you are not certain whether "teach math" is the better way to say it?02font00
