Am I cheating?
  Yes, you noob. Go back to school.
  No, you're meant to study like this.
  I'm a poll whore!

My Sensei is planning to give us a series of spoken questions which I already know.

But I was wondering about a grammar thing.

If he asks me : What do you do before school?

How would I reply: I sleep. ?

Please help, it's not in my books.

you only sleep before you go to school?? ahaha
you dont.. like brush ur teeth or have shower or like have breakfast or anything?? ahaha oh well.
heres how you would say it.

僕は/私は 学校に行く前寝ています。
(bokuwa/watashiwa gakkou ni ikumae neteimasu)
(I sleep before i go to school)
or
僕は/私は 学校の前は寝ています。
(bokuwa/watashiwa gakkou nomaewa neteimasu)
(I sleep before school)

bokuwa=if you are a male
watashiwa=if you are a female

Well.... Here's an example of what I do before school. It all depends for you though.

毎朝、私は起きて、浴びて、朝ご飯を食べて、学校へ行きます。

"Te" form can be used to show more than one verb in a sentence.

Every morning, I get up, shower, eat breakfast, and go to school.

hey, awesome!

But!

I can't read kanji. Could you possibly re write that in hiragana and kana? I know, I'm such a noob.

I'm not sure what he wants, so I'll learn both. He's a very confusing person. Thanks!
