The next national elections will be on November 6, 2018. In Massachusetts, we will vote for one senator (currently Elizabeth Warren), and our representative to the U.S. House of Representatives. We will also vote for state governor (currently Charlie Baker), our state senator and representative, and other state officials.
If you are a U.S. citizen, and are at least 18 years old, you can vote in government elections – local, state, and national. BUT – you must be registered to vote. It’s quick and easy. You need to register before you can vote for the first time, and update your address every time you move.

The ESL Blues website has a set of “progress tests“. When you take a progress test, it will ask you questions about different grammar points, or vocabulary. For each question you get incorrect, it will show you the grammar point you got wrong – and a practice exercise to help you understand.
For example, one of the progress test questions is:
This is your book, not ____. That is my book over there.
a) my
b) of my
c) mine
d) to me
If your answer is not correct, you will see this:
My, mine, her, hers, etc. (It links to a practice exercise about “mine”, which was the correct answer)
The website also has a set of tests for beginners, and short lessons to help explain common English mistakes, such as Do vs. Make and Say vs. Tell.
