erinja:You made mistakes in numbers 1 and 6 of your first set. See if you can find the mistakes and correct them.#6 should be: Ĉu la nova instruistino forgesis la libron?
I'm not seeing an error in #1, though. It looks correct to me. . .?

SPX: It looks correct to me. . .?It looked correct to me too until I looked more carefully. At this stage most mistakes in Esperanto aren't "real" mistakes; they are simply sloppiness.

sudanglo:These exercises seemed to have left out one of the most essential phrases of any beginners' course.

It's probably much the same for most foreign language courses. After ploughing through all those nonsensical sentences you eventually arrive at those 'colloquial Spanish/French/German' (or whatever) books and finally encounter all the stuff you think they ought to have been teaching you all along, the way people actually speak. On the other hand it's probably the case that if a person doesn't go through all those seemingly foolish sentences at the beginning they just won't have the tools to make it to the colloquial stage.

Benson's Comprehensive English-Esperanto Dictionary says:
"by, (authorship, doer of any action), de, far (e.g.: a drama by Shakespeare: dramo de [or] far Ŝekspiro [note: "far" avoids confusion w oth senses of "de"])."
The Lernu Vortaro says:
"far
done by, written by [this usage is strongly discouraged, and this entry is for reference only; the preferred way to say "Moby Dick, by Melville" is to say "Moby Dick, de Melville"; "written by me" = "skribata de mi", NOT "skribata far mi"]"
I assume that the Lernu Vortaro is right. But how can I make that assumption?
More generally, how does one know whether any statement by anyone regarding correct Esperanto usage is, indeed, correct or incorrect?
