I already tried... Unfortunately she doesn't have a clue!!!... I even gave her another example; she said "from" for my example, but when I asked her what's the difference, she didnt' have a clue... All she said was; this is what the book says! it's funny that she copies questions from books to give in an exam, but she can't justify the answer
