A lady school teacher in her late 30s had a reputation for being very strict â especially about grammar.
Every day, sheâd correct students:
âSay âI am goingâ, not âI is going!ââ
âProper tense, proper sentence!â
But lately⌠something had changed.
A new young male teacher joined the school â charming, polite, and very good at English.
Suddenly, she started visiting the staff room more often.
One day, she walked up to him and said nervously,
âExcuse me⌠can you help me with⌠sentence correction?â
He smiled, âOf course, maâam. Whatâs the sentence?â
She blushed and said,
âI have been waiting for a husband since many years⌠but now I think⌠I am liking you.â
He laughed softly and said,
âWell, maâam⌠grammatically, it should be:
âI *have been waiting for a husband for many years⌠but now I love you.ââ
She adjusted her glasses and replied confidently:
âGood⌠then correct this one too â
Will you marry me, or should I mark you absent forever?â đ
