We decided more than ten years ago that we wanted this forum to be
a resource for learners even in earlier stages. You can pose your questions
here and we'll try to be helpful. About Machen's exercises, two points: 
(1) I think there's an answer key available somewhere; (2) Quite a few of
Machen's sentences in the exercises are made-up; some of them seem
ungrammatical or based upon English costructions rather than common
Koine Greek usage.
