    Hello Yannick:

    Don't Worry; Be Happy!

    It is going to be hot today.



    It has been very hot in the past few days.


    I will try to be helpful. I am being helpful to you. I have been helpful to you in the past.

    You are going to be an English student. If you are being a good student, you will study with much devotion. You have always been a good student.

    We do not know what the outcome will be. In the past everything has been difficult.
    It all becomes a matter of whether other people are being helpful or difficult, is that not so?

    How have you been? I am being given a scholarship to attend a college. I have been in classes all of my life.

    I am not being difficult with you. I may have been critical of you in the past, but right now I am being helpful. Do you really expect for me to be only critical, and to not praise your effort?

    There is going to be a lot of fun this weekend. The past several weeks have been very boring.
    If life is going to be generous to us, we will find a way to go to out this weekend for some fun.

    Don't be ridiculous. He is being ridiculous, but that is not a sufficient reason that you should be ridiculous also. If someone is being ridiculous, or has been ridiculous, let's just avoid them, shall we?

    .---Warm Regards, Bruce
