You could convert all of these exercises to 2/4 adding a 3 above each beat of 8th notes, and whiting out the dots after the quarter notes-- so they're just regular quarter notes. And write in 2/4 as the time signature. <br /><br />I'm happy to help out with lessons any time-- learning all of these fine points goes a lot faster with a teacher.

In ...Not a stupid question-- <i>like</i> 2/4, but not 2/4. In 6/8 the dotted quarter note gets the beat-- which gives us two counted beats per measure. <br /><br />Essentially, 6/8 time = 2/[dotted quarter note]. <br /><br />But there's no easy way to write that in the usual #/# format, which is why they write it as 6/8.
