i came across some text trying to distinguish the difference between "[v-plain]方がいい" and "[v-た]方がいい". well actually i've realised that some of these explanations do not reflect on the actual usage of the words/phrases so i will put it here for you to judge. It says if the event had not happened yet, we will use [v-plain]方がいい and if the event had already occured, we will use [v-た]方がいい. so if i'm at home and i want to go somewhere, i will say バスで行く方がいい but if i had already made my trip there, i will say バスで行った方がいい. does it make sense, or is it better to use バスで行く方がいい for both cases?

To me, you seem to have wanted to say that Bob has another quality besides being 優しい.

yep, that was what i was trying to say. how should the sentence be corrected to mean that other than having other qualities,
"Bob is also kind too"

Truth is Japanese kids don't even know the words 自動詞 and 他動詞 until they learn about them in English in junior high.

lol me too, i wasn't aware of what's a transitive/intransitive verb till i started studying japanese
anyways, I was wondering if this sentence is valid: 先生がこれを学生にくれる。Because from what i know, くれる can only be used when something is given to me or my family member, or are there exceptions to this rule?
