Some companies believe they are saving money by placing several employees in one class, trouble is they don’t realize that the more advanced students will quickly become frustrated with the beginners, who will in turn, become frustrated because the class will be too advanced for them.

acorn922 asked:

I don’t have a particular grammar point in mind (e.g. prepositions, proper nouns, expressions, counting)
but if you have used any I’d like to know how you used the song.
