Hello Teacher David, Thank you for your corrections and many paraphrastic expressions! It's first time to see the expression "Last but not least." It was a great learning opportunity. Thanks for everything! Yuki-02
Dear David, Thank you for the correction and sorry for the late reply. I'm happy you liked the long noun phrase "black-and-white friend" and that you found it as impressive while I was not confident about this expression. I also appreciate for all alternative ideas and phrases. Especially, I liked the phrase "I had trouble communicating with my parents, but never with her." that beautifully represents what I wanted to express. And about articles and past perfect! You cleared my unresolved questions that have been obscure to me for a long time. Regarding articles, I may still have difficulties, but for past perfect, I may work better thanks to your advice. Thank you for answering to my question of usage of "experience". I wanted to say the machine model has a stable and long operational history and is pleased by many customers. I will try to find a better word / expression. Thank you so much! I will ask you again for the correction and advice. Best regards, Asouka
Thank you for your fast edtion. I am glad that I could make sure it is OK to say “make food last until the next point day.”
Thanks so much!
Thank you very much for your corrections, comments and reply for my question. I’m a bit surprised that both the present perfect and the past perfect sound good for you in that sentence. I understood that I don’t need to worry too much about such tenses. I hope my understanding is correct. I’ll use the present perfect tense for that sentence next time. Thank you very much again and best regards, Isabel
Thank you for your fast edtion. I am glad I have learned “ to” is unnecessary in the sentence: I was appointed a board member.
Thank you for reading my short essay! The options you suggested are very helpful for me!
Thank you for teaching me so kindly.
l really appreciate you, teacher David! You are the only teacher l've ever met on IDIY who mentioned the "good parts" in my sentences. l just learned it is also very useful to know it. Because l always use dictionary again and again before my diary entory, but when a teacher kindly suggests other ways to say per my request, l am not sure if my choice of words was good or not. I've just noticed that my request of drastic change has blind spot.. :0 I like the words you gave me "motto" and " whatever suit me",thank you so much! I really enjoyed working with you and see you soon :) moet
Thank you for your fast edtion. I am glad to learn the right way of saying: “ Misreading causes not to make sense.”
Thank you for your super fast edtion. I am glad that you understood my composition clearly. I wanted to make sure if the word “ mine” fits the sentences like “mine is more advantageous.” I am glad my useage of “mine” is OK.
Thank you for your fast edtion and your effort to watch “a Kiss video” online for correcting my composition. You are righ: I should have said “a member breathes fire.” I wanted to know how to say this, but I am happy now I have learned from you how to say this: “He breathes fire.” P.S. I thought you knew “Kiss.” I was a bit disappointed you did not know them.
I was able to learn about many things. Thank you!
Thank you for your super fast edtion. I am glad to know you say “compare myself with others”, not “compare me with others.”
Thank you for your super fast edtion. I am glad to know “ in” is necessary in the sentence: a car is plugged “ in” to be charged with electricity and that this sentence ( a car is pugged in to be charged with electricity) is OK.
