Hi!
My question here is:
She has improved her English...
A. She learns with a good teacher.
B. learning with a good teacher.
C. that a good teacher learns from her.
D. when learned with a good teacher.

The key is "B. learning with a good teacher" while my answer is "D" when learned with a good teacher." What I have understood here is that "She has improved her English when she has been learned with a good teacher. However, somebody has said that "You can't learn with a teacher. You have just taught by her/him.
I am so confused! Who can get me out?

"She has been learning with a good teacher" is correct. She cannot be "learned", a lesson can be "learned", she can be "taught".
 
(1) She has improved her English when she has been learned with a good teacher.
It was the language that has been learned, not she has been learned.

(2)She has improved her English when she learned with a good teacher. - would have been correct

(3) The correct answer:
She has improved her English learning with a good teacher
is the same as
Learning with a good teacher, she improved her English.

not a teacher
 
Hi, everybody!
Is "She has improved her English when she has been learned from (not "with") a good teacher" OK?
Does it sound better than the key "She has improved her English learning with a good teacher", which sounds ambiguous and therefore, unsatisfactory?
Many thanks for reading my notes.:roll:

No, "she" can't be "learned" as I said before, she can be "taught by a good teacher".
"She has improved her English because she has been taught by a good teacher". This is ok. The key is better.
 
She has improved her English learning with a good teacher.

Some people say teaching is a two-way process whereby the teacher actually learns together with the student.

That is often true in my experience.:)
