[STRIKE]cause of[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]im[/STRIKE] I'm really [STRIKE]got[/STRIKE] confused about this area of grammar and I [STRIKE]even[/STRIKE] don't know [STRIKE]howto[/STRIKE] how to use them [STRIKE]such[/STRIKE] (for example, while, after, ever since....) and how to use them in conversations.

[STRIKE]or[/STRIKE] Are these [STRIKE]are[/STRIKE] any good or not for [STRIKE]using them[/STRIKE] use [STRIKE]in[/STRIKE] at the same time or after one job is done, or [STRIKE]using[/STRIKE] should I use something else? [STRIKE]another grammer[/STRIKE]

[STRIKE]so again[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]im[/STRIKE] I'm [STRIKE]so[/STRIKE] very hopeful someone [STRIKE]dude[/STRIKE] will be able to help me [STRIKE]up[/STRIKE] out about this area of grammar. [STRIKE]to picked up.[/STRIKE]

Welcome to the forum. :hi:

Please see my corrections to your post in red. You need to write some complete sentences using relative time clauses and then we will see where your problems are.

You must learn to write in separate sentences.

[STRIKE]Ohhh my god[/STRIKE] Unnecessary and inappropriate. Some people find exclamations like this offensive.

I [STRIKE]having[/STRIKE] have a bunch of problems. [STRIKE]:)[/STRIKE] Don't try to make your own emoticons. Click on the :) icon and choose the appropriate one.

In writing, [STRIKE]im[/STRIKE] I'm [STRIKE]pretty immture[/STRIKE] a beginner but I am trying to [STRIKE]fix it[/STRIKE] improve.

Don't panic. Yes, you made a lot of mistakes in your first post but many of them could have been avoided if you had followed these basic rules of written English:

- Start every sentence with a capital letter.
- End every sentence with a single, appropriate punctuation mark.
- Always capitalise the word "I" (first person singular).
- Do not put a space before a comma, full stop, question mark or exclamation mark.
- Always put a space after a comma, full stop, question mark or exclamation mark.

Keep that list somewhere safe (perhaps copy it onto a piece of paper) and look at it every time you write in English.

Thanks again. I will try to improve my writing, but about my problem with Time clauses. Is it right or not.
After I finish / after finishing my chores, I head to the office.
Ever since I was a teenager, I've had trouble with generation gap.

In the first one, either is OK. The second one is OK with "the".

I have marked all your errors in red. I have not corrected them. Look at your post. Look at my list of rules in the earlier post. Always check your spelling. Go back and revise the rules on the use of the apostrophe and on how to make a plural.

You also need to ask only one question per thread, with a suitable title for each. For instance, write

Please tell me the difference between 'a little' and 'little'.

Give your thread the title a little/little.

That's all you need to write. This is not the place to tell us about your countrymen or your ambitions – putting emsr2d2 to the trouble of correcting your English.

Simple rule: if you don't try, we don't try.
