Hello, Michii-san. I want to write to you many kind of sentences. Do you mean I should write English senteces like above sentences in English? If so I try it. Is the weather hot? Yes it's too hot recently. Like that?
I'm sorry for short senteces because I have no time to write a lot senteces to you. I have to get ready for my work. Bye.

Thanks a lot, Miyachan!
I practiced the above sentences with emotion at school.
Americans show their emotion when they speak the strong/extreme adjectives expressions.
Foreign students needed to show their exaggerated emotion with facial expression,
tone of voice, and gesture.
I thought it's fun to practice those expressions, so I introduced them. ^-^

Today, I'd like to introduce "Agreement Statements."
(EX) I like Sushi! ------ "So do I." or "I do, too." or "Me, too."
***<So do I : most formal. Me. too: least formal.>
Example of formal agreement statements: Two people's conversation.
(Ans. with So):
1) A: I am hungry. --- B: So am I.
2) A: I was late for work today. --- B: So was John.
3) A: I've already watched that movie. --- B:So have I. (*** have watched)
4) A: I have a key. --- B: So do I (*** Have: a regular verb)
5) A: She can swim. --- B: So can he. I cannot.
(Answer with Neither):
1) A: I don't have a key. --- B: Neither do I.
2) A: I haven't been to England. --- B: Neither have I.
3) A: I won't be late next time. --- B: Neither will I.
4) A: I am not Chinese. --- B: Neither am I.
5) A: I never go rock climbing. --- B: Neither do I.

English articles (a, an, the, no article) are the most difficult grammar for Japanese
since we do not use them.
I am going to introduce some rules for articles.
<Generalizing>:
1) Do not use "the" to make generalization with a plural Countable Noun & Non-Countable Noun.
(EX) Some employers offer (-) free exercise classes.
(EX) Others give you (-) dental insurance.
2) Use "a/an" with a singular Noun to make a generalization or when you don't mean a specific
person or thing.
(EX) Some companies have (a) doctor.
<Specific>:
1) Use "the" when the idea is known to both.
(EX) Some let you take (the) kids to work if you need to.
2) Use "the" when you are specific about which thing you mean.
(EX) Some let you bring your pet to (the) office.
You can check the website for some rules for English articles, too.

Hello, Miyachan,
I got some information about your questions.
1) to marry (someone) : (EX) I married Sam. (Incorrect EX) I married with/to Sam. ---do not use with or to.
2) to be married to (someone) : (EX) I am married to Sam.
3) to be married : (EX) Are you married or are you single?
When you use "to marry" think about married or wedding. When you use "to be married" think about the person's life now.
