Hi All,

Please let me know the grammar mistakes in the following piece of code

---------------

I still had my eyes clogged when I heard some one knocking at my door. It was the second time my door was knocked so early in the morning. First time Boston police had knocked my door so early. Though my heart was beating so fast to see the police at my place so early in the morning but later I couldn’t stop my laughter. It was my two year old daughter who dialed 911 by mistake. So before opening the door I look out through the road side window and then sneaked out through the hole of the door. It was the lady from the front door. I opened the door and welcomed her surprisingly. After exchanging the formal smiling, she told me, “I have shifted to single bed room in the 3rd floor of this building”. We both were on the second floor and she had a family of four, her husband and her twins. I was confused whether I’ve overheard her as I was still half asleep. So I asked her again, “why single bed room”. She again replied unexpectedly, ” I want to be with myself for sometime”. I tried to understand her and asked again embarrassedly “why”. This time she almost had tears in her eyes. She said with her hoarse voice, “He has left us”. I was completely stunned for a while. I had an impression that it was a very lovely couple. I was speechless and didn’t feel good invading in her personal life.

Thanks in advance

This isn't code, it's writing.

I still had my eyes clogged when I heard some one knocking at my door. It was the second time my door was knocked on so early in the morning. The first time it had been the Boston police who had knocked on my door so early. Though My heart was beating so fast to see the police at my place so early in the morning but later I couldn’t stop my laughter. It was my two year old daughter who dialed 911 by mistake. So, before opening the door I look out through the road side window and then sneaked out through the hole of the door (How did you leave through a hole in the door?). It was the lady from the front door (Maybe the front apartment but not the front door). I opened the door and welcomed her surprisingly. After exchanging the my formal smiling smile, she told me, “I have shifted to a single bedroom in on the 3rd floor of this building”. We both were on the second floor and she had a family of four, her husband and her twins. I was confused whether I’ve overheard heard her correctly her as I was still half asleep. So I asked her again, “why single bed room”. She again replied unexpectedly, ” I want to be with myself for sometime”. I tried to understand her and asked again embarrassedly “why”. This time she almost had tears in her eyes. She said with her hoarse voice, “He has left us”. I was completely stunned for a while. I had an impression that it was they were a very lovely loving couple. I was speechless and didn’t feel good invading into her personal life.

Thank you so much Gillnetter.

I don't know what we call for the magnifying glass on the door to see the people out side.

sneaked out through the hole of the door (How did you leave through a hole in the door?).

Thanks & Regards

I believe that the glass is called a peep hole. The way the sentence was written led me to think that you had sneaked out. It could be written this way, "I sneaked a look through the peep hole." If you are writing in American English, you could use "snuck" instead of "sneaked". You can't sneak out of a peep hole but your sight can.
