tdol, I really thank you very much! You‘re ussually the only one person from this server that helps me with my essays. Did you look through all the essay? It seems to me incredible that I did write only these mistakes! I expected much more of them…
I have some questions according to the mistakes of my essay. Here they are:

1)…isn’t yet fourteen (– she will be in July). – why can’t I say “she’ll be in July“? it isn’t so formal or why?
2) when Juliet finds out that her love is her enemy. – why I can’t use words gets known instead of finds out? Is there a very big difference or it just sounds better with „finds out“?
3) his love for Juliet – do I have to remember that we have to use this preposition in this connection?
4) Tybalt, who started it. – How can I recognize what looks better (why not „who started this fight“?)

Thank you… These questions that I have just asked you are mostly totally stupid, I know, you can’t answer it very good. I know, I have to learn and learn and study and study to become more sensitive to English to know what does and doesn’t sound or look better. But, try to answer those questions, please, anyway.

Lenka
