Thank you for than. I will try as so as possible.

I understood what before but I did not seem to be having much luck
there. Often the major part of my problem is knowing just how to ask.

One thousand years ago in a college calculus class (late '60s early
'70s) we were asked "Do you have any questions before the assignment?"
No one raised there hands but me. I said that my question was that I
understood so little  this assignment that I di *not* know what
question(s) to ask.  made me 'friends' with the prof and he was 'softer'
from there on.   :-)
