BTW it's "I don't have A brain"

But the first part of the sentence a minor sentence, it usually has very little to do with the rest of the sentence. i.e. 'Oh no! I don't have a brain' etc...

4-____ I don’t know English.

I'm another person who doesn't get this.

Putting 'yes' or 'no' in front of these phrases does make a difference to the meaning, but I don't know what that shows.

The first two don't make sense anyway.

Also, I don't know anyone who thinks English is an easy language. It's a very hard language to learn properly - many native speakers never master it. English spelling is famously crazy. For just about every grammatical rule there are loads of exceptions, and if anyone here can give a quick explanation of how to use English prepositions I'd love to hear it!

Peace

I couldn't disagree less.

Maybe Eliza Doolittle can shed some light into this..

I agree with Messrs Gibson and Takumi. This is like one of those silly email thingies that some Pakistani with bad English spams my inbox with, in the vain hope that I'd find it funny. Hmm.

P.s. 'Messrs' is one of the most kickass words in the English language.
