Men is plural for man. Stop mixing those up. The same goes with women and woman.

@Keyborito. You can't use a verb by itself as you did with type. Look at that phrase in #1203:

There are times when I hate to type in English.
There are times when I hate typing in English.

I'm not sure which one is the best choice for this case, I always have doubts, but still you can't use type as you did.

I'm not going through all your posts, but there are many obvious mistakes. Still it's very admirable your courage to keep trying. Keep on writing here and you'll improve sooner or later, as long as you use our advice.

#1207 I'll try to go through everything:

Thanks I love you, Tesla (He's one of my favourite scientists in all history... He was better than Edison ).

In fact, as I said before: When you don't feel like typing in English, you just don't(Poli Rincon dixit). <<<------ Didn't know how to translate this as I don't really understand what you want to say.

#1209 Damn, I mistook told and said... but i know how to use it I hate this day.... So it's time for bed

''Mistook told and said'' is what I think you meant.

#1210 There's some intuitive rule that most people use, but I always wonder and never check.

Through the time I've been in South Korea I have attended all my classes in English and I have been watching TV shows and movies in English for aproximately 2 years.

The problem is, since I have never taken any of those exams like TOELF, First, etc. I don't know in what should I focus in order to pass the exam, so I was looking for some advice related to books to buy, or material to get and study to success.

#1212 I have here a file from the VHS (similar to our Escuela de Idiomas in Spain) concerning this kind of exams.

Are you living there right now? If the answer is yes, I think the best you can do is to find out what organism is in charge of this exams in that country in order to get the information you asking about.

#1216 What to type is not important, so is how to type.

Just a few common errors:

  • Don't write "I" in small letter. "I" must be written in capital, ALWAYS.
  • It's ok to use contractions like "Don't" instead of "Do not" in coloquiall English (do not use it in formal English, ever. i.e. an email to your boss / a job application), but please write the contractions correctly: don't, I'm, I've, I'd, etc.

To fix bad habits is so important, believe me. I've had several problems in my day by day because of that!!

It's all about practise :D

#1217 " For example: You should to type" I think the correct form is "You should type", isn't it?

#1206 With verbs like "hate", "like" or "love" you can use both the gerund or the infinitive, although there is a slight change of meaning depending on which do you use.

If you use the gerund it means that you always have such a feeling towards such activity, but if you use the infinitive it means that you can bear to do that even if you hate it, or you are referring to a particular moment.

For example,
"I hate eating turnips." - You will never eat turnips unless you are forced to.
"I hate to eat turnips." - You'd say this just after you are served a dish with turnips.

To be honest, I consider quite a pain in the ass knowing when to use the gerund and the infinitive sometimes, as a kind of rule when I have doubts I try to use the gerund when I'm referring to an activity that you do on a regular basis; but this doesn't always work.

PS: Lack of sleep makes writing in English more difficult for me T_T

#1222 I think what is correct like my way... I will try to explain you... There are two ways to write this action verbs (type for example or write too!): to + infinitive ver or gerund.

  • To + infinitive: It means what you want to do. Examples: I could to type letter; I should to type better. You use this way to explain FACTS.

  • Gerund: It means what are you doing now. Example: So then i'm typing this for you ^. You use this way to explains things, what are doing it now...

PS: Maybe i'm wrong, but my mind thoughts this before i was writting this post D:

#1224 You are wrong, you use gerund or infinitive after a verb depending on which verb is it. There are lists out there.

After modal verbs you usually employ the bare infinitive, you'd never say "I could to type better" since could is a modal verb, you ought to say "I could type better".

What's the point on using this thread if none corrects whatever is wrong ? Just wondering...

Ive seen some mistakes (like "comming" @ #727) that are even answered but not corrected/pointed...

EDIT: Okey, I checked the thread and some people use to help... my fault !
