Very eficient and to the point answer.arigatou gozaimasu.
However there are some usages which are new to me
1.daibun no shukudai - in which capacity is 'no' being used here.How
would grammatically sumarize this usage of 'no'?
2.eigo o oshiemasu kara(node) - dont both of them refer to becasue?
3.koto ga dekimasen - does this mean that dekimasen should never be
used in isolation?
4.Kono hon wo yomu koto wa - 'no wa' can also be used here?
