Please correct any grammatical mistakes.

Sometimes I feel hesitant to kill a mosquito. There are no such insects which love human being so much. If you feel lonely it will remove your loneliness by informing you to its buzzing sound.This sound is really annoying when it is close to someone's ears while he or she is sleeping. It drives us mad when it breaks our sleep. At that moment we try to kill it with anything close to our hands. After killing it we feel relaxed and get courage to sleep again. Some mosquitoes' bites are as painful as putting an injection. But at the end of the day we can say that they are our relatives because they carry our blood. It's also a main cause that prevents me from killing it. By the way they aren't sparing me right now, although I haven't written any derogatory remarks against them.

Dukul12345, I have changed your thread title. I have had to do this on several of your threads. Things like "Correct my grammatical mistakes" and "modal verbs" are useless as titles. Titles must include some/all of the actual words/phrases that you are asking us about. Your actual question or request must appear in the main body of your post, not in the title.

Please write a new post here to indicate that you have read this advice and that you will follow it in future.

Other users: Please don't respond to this post until the OP has done as requested. Thank you.

Dukul12345, I noticed that you started a new thread with the same title and the same text! That is not what you were asked to do. I asked you to respond in this thread to indicate that you had read the advice. Once you write and post that response, we will look at the text in post 1 of this thread.

Sorry for my mistakes. I have read your advice and next time I won't do it I swear.

I don't think mosquitoes like us. They just like our blood.

I know we've told you this before! There are other errors but I wanted that one to stand out.

I feel relaxed when you figure out my mistakes.

Well, that's nice for you, but I can assure you it's not relaxing for us to have to keep correcting the same errors over and over again.

You probably didn't mean that to be funny. But it was (and is).

(No offense intended.)

I think you misunderstood. I was the one trying to make you laugh (or smile, or chuckle or whatever).

I have never seen you make so many mistakes in one post before. I guess you should make them shorter.

Say:

I am doing my best to get to that level by getting help from this group.

And:

I hope all of you will help me reach that level.

I think it's unrealistic to aim for expert level at this point.

Could you please tell me what is the difference between these two sentences?

1. It was my fault for not making you laugh.
2. It was my fault for not to be making you laugh.

I couldn't differentiate between these two sentences, that is why I wrote number 2.

1. It was my fault for not making you laugh. :tick:
2. It was my fault for not to be making you laugh. :cross:

Sentence 2 is grammatically incorrect. "to be" does not belong there at all.

It was my fault for not making you laugh = It was my fault that what I did didn't make you laugh = It was my fault that I didn't make you laugh.

Look at my corrections to your opening sentence. You are making life hard for yourself. You're not ready for the construction you need for a question that starts with "Could you please tell me what ...". Stick to "What is the difference between ...?"

What did you think to be added to the sentence?
