Alien vs. Predicate

I'm the alien, but I'm slowly learning their ways (rules).  Last week's tutorial went better than I expected.  My patient friend explained to me what I was missing, and after some time I started to understand.  I was able to make more notes which is always a good sign, and after we went over the exercise we had our quiz.  I think I got the two questions right actually, and I came away from that class feeling more confident about filling in Venn Diagrams.

Yesterday's class went pretty well too.  A lot of it made logical sense, so I felt like I had a pretty good grasp on what we learned.  Earlier today, I took a look at the assignment for tomorrow's tutorial, and I don't really know how to answer the questions.  It's the introduction of (x,y) that confused me, because we hadn't gone over a lot of examples about mixtures of predicates.  The class notes were somewhat helpful, but not enough that I knew the answers.  I felt like I was able to come up with a guess or a partial answer, but I know there's something I'm missing.  I'll have to pay attention during the tutorial so I can figure out how to translate the sentences into predicate statements.  Maybe my patient friend will give me some clarification as well, but I feel bad for asking him too much!

Another week, another confusion.
