Oh wow! Wow. Deryck was great: his help has really encouraged me and I feel grateful. Now, the first question I ask myself is how to procede in my practice: a matter of method, I suppose. By now, I have read the correction and I have copied all the mistakes on my notepad. On my notepad I wrote the correct form first; then I wrote my mistaken one and I cancelled it; now I'm keeping both the error and the correction in mind, in order to correct myself while writing. My purpose is to try to create specific exercises for correction and improvement: I could write some sentences with the same words and expressions, in order to practice the correct form. I think that it will not be enough to reapeat the same sentences in the correct form: I need also to practice that form in different sentences and - most important - I really need to grab the meaning of my mistake and the rule I must learn about it. I will think about it for a while, then I will let you know how it's going on. Thanks again by now and... oh, I have already witten my second text. Good bye, see you soon! PS: in this note I use the verb "to copy" in the -ed form; I spell it "copi-ed"; in my previous note I used "to enjoy" in the -ed form and I spelled it "enjoi-ed": it was wrong. I try to form and to remember the rule: when the verb ends with "y" and you add "-ed", if the last letter before "y" is a vowel "y" doesn't change; if the last letter before "y" is a consonant, "y" changes in "i". To copy -> copied; to enjoy -> enjoyed.

Thanks again by for now and... oh, I have already written my second text. Goodbye, see you soon!

Wow. Deryck was great: his help has really encouraged me and I feel grateful.

Now, the first question I ask myself is how to procede in my practice: a matter of method, I suppose. By now, I have read the correction and I have copied all the mistakes on TO my notepad. On my notepad I wrote the correct form first; then I wrote my mistaken one and THEN I cancelled it; now I'm keeping both the error and the correction in mind, in order to correct myself while writing.

My purpose (or AIM) is to try to create specific exercises for correction and improvement: I could write some OTHER sentences with the same words and expressions, in order to practice the correct form.

I think that it will not be enough to reapeat REPEAT the same sentences in the correct form: (I need also to practice that form in different sentences- I THINK YOU MEANT THIS BEFORE, OR HAVE I MISUNDERSTOOD?) and - most important - I really need to grab GRASP the meaning of my mistake and the rule THAT I must learn about it.

I will think about it for a while, then I will let you know how it's going on.

Thanks again by now and... oh, I have already wRitten my second text. Good bye, see you soon!
