Is the following sentence correct and natural?
I wasn't able to do well at work, and I was unhappy about it.
Are you talking about a specific task or about your performance in your job/workplace?I couldn't able to do well in the work,
Is that the cause or the effect of not being able to do the work?my emotions went to unhappy.
Hi J&K Tutoring,
You are totally correct. I'm an absolute beginner in English. [STRIKE]language.[/STRIKE] I have [STRIKE]learn to[/STRIKE] been studying English for a long time and have posted my sentences here for a period of time. It's quite long. I haven't noticed any improvement since I came here and posted my sentences here. Should I continue to study or give up studying English?
I wasn't able to do the work very well, and I was unhappy about it.
Hi emsr2d2,
Thank you for your reply.
Hi emsr2d2.
This should end with a full stop.
Thank you for your reply.
You thank someone for something.
I'm [STRIKE]totally[/STRIKE] sure
Keep things simple. Use "I'm sure".
to tell you
This part doesn't make sense. You're not telling me anything.
that some errors are [STRIKE]the[/STRIKE] basic errors,
No article was required there.
but I can't [STRIKE]find[/STRIKE] work them out.
You can check all your verb forms online or in a grammar book before you post.
The reason is
What you wrote after this is not a reason.
I think [STRIKE]it is a[/STRIKE] I write correct, natural sentences [STRIKE]and natural[/STRIKE]
Keep adjectives together when they refer to the same noun.
but I don't think [STRIKE]it[/STRIKE] my English is perfect. [STRIKE]a perfect English.[/STRIKE]
"English" is uncountable, so we don't speak a perfect English, just perfect English.
See above. I have broken your entire post down into sections and explained the corrections. Again, you have tried to write long, complicated sentences that are beyond your capabilities. Your whole post could be written as:
"Thanks. I know I make basic errors but I don't know what they are."
Do you think you could have written the preceding sentences without making any errors?
I [STRIKE]posted[/STRIKE] post each sentence here and [STRIKE]reviewed[/STRIKE] review the sentences again and again.
I assume you are saying that you regularly/always do that. If so, the present simple is the appropriate tense there. A simpler way for you to express this is "I always check my sentences before I post them."
I don't think there are too many basic errors in [STRIKE]the[/STRIKE] my sentences.
I disagree.
If [STRIKE]the[/STRIKE] I could make corrections [STRIKE]that I could do by[/STRIKE] myself, my English level [STRIKE]has[/STRIKE] would have reached [STRIKE]to[/STRIKE] native speaker level.
You are not ready for this construction yet.
I have been learning English for more than 5 years, ever since I registered my/an account here.
I have [STRIKE]nothing[/STRIKE] not improved and I still [STRIKE]made[/STRIKE] make a lot of errors in each of my [STRIKE]each[/STRIKE] sentences.
Do you think I haven't got any grammar books?
I don't know. Do you? Which books do you have?
Do you think I don't [STRIKE]have checked[/STRIKE] check [STRIKE]the[/STRIKE] my sentences [STRIKE]corrections[/STRIKE] before posting here?
I don't know.
I think English is a skill and also a [STRIKE]communicate[/STRIKE] communication tool for me.
Language is a communication tool for everyone!
I couldn't write perfect long sentences [STRIKE]until[/STRIKE] before now, but [STRIKE]I could[/STRIKE] being able to write a short sentence without any serious errors [STRIKE]are[/STRIKE] is my top aim. [STRIKE]to do.[/STRIKE]
Once again, thank you for your reply.:up:
Well done. That was a perfect sentence.
