Is my sentence correct? Please help thank you in advance :)

Which single sentence are you referring to?

Please note that we don't connect sentences with strings of dots as you have done.

1. You need to separate these into multiple sentences.
2. You need to capitalize her name.
3. You need to capitalize the pronoun "I"
4. Ask "Do you remember" not "Did you know" and end that sentence with a question mark.
5. Now I've decided (not "i decided")
6. There is no word "u." The word is "you."
7. I've lost (not "i lose")
8. What are they entire things in quotation marks?

You have some nerve saying it's her fault in any way. YOU chose to ignore your friends - she didn't make you. It's not "your fault too" - it's YOUR fault.


Make those corrections in a new post below and then we will look again.

When Barb said you need to capitalise the name, she was referring only to the first letter. It should be "Farah".

[STRIKE]Ok[/STRIKE] OK. Done. [STRIKE]Is[/STRIKE] Are my words [STRIKE]ok[/STRIKE] OK?

1. You used "words" so you need the third person plural verb "Are".
2. We write either "OK" or "okay" but never "ok" or "Ok".

Hi, Farah, [STRIKE]did you know[/STRIKE] do you remember that [STRIKE]2[/STRIKE] two weeks ago I said "I want to tell you something" and then I didn't tell you? [STRIKE]and[/STRIKE] Last week, [STRIKE]also[/STRIKE] I said again "I want to tell you something" but I didn't tell you. [STRIKE]but[/STRIKE] Well, now I've decided tell you.

Do you remember? When we had a conversation [STRIKE]everyday[/STRIKE] every day, especially when we chatted from 10pm-1am, my friends [STRIKE]always[/STRIKE] frequently texted me but I didn't reply to their texts while I was texting you. I [STRIKE]never[/STRIKE] didn't [STRIKE]makes[/STRIKE] make my "WhatsApp" status "offline" because you're in my priority list. I [STRIKE]gave[/STRIKE] made/considered you [STRIKE]so much[/STRIKE] very [STRIKE]importance[/STRIKE] important but I shouldn't have. [STRIKE]just[/STRIKE] Because of you, I've lost [STRIKE]2[/STRIKE] two of my friends but it's MY fault because I put you in my priority list. Thanks for everything, Farah. Bye.

[STRIKE]Re-edit.[/STRIKE] Please help me to edit this. Thanks.

See above for my corrections. I assume you don't want to remain friends with Farah.

Thank you so much for your [STRIKE]corporate[/STRIKE] help everyone. I appreciate it :)

I don't think it is appropriate to use "cooperation".

You should have used the "thank" button instead of posting again.
