When your teacher has checked them first, come back to us if you cannot understand why you got anything wrong.

I don't have a teacher. I am interested in English and read different books and sometimes I try to solve the exercises and post here for corrections. I'll not write long posts which I think you have problem answering. I'll ask only short questions next time and will be very grateful to you for correcting them. I'll try to find some other websites for long posts.

I'm sorry if I have written something unpleasant.
