Notes on Corrections:

-English TITLES - everything but connecting words [and, with, by, to, for] and articles [a/this/the/that] are often CAPITALIZED!

-English prepositions: this, I think, was where you had the most trouble! So I would review when to use "in" "at" and "on."

-This vs. These; That vs. Those:

this (singular) and these (plurals)

When to use: Things that are close in time or space. (Present+future) + for introductions. [**NOTE** - we don't say 'these are John and Michael; but rather THEY are John and Michael or This is John and this is Michael]

examples - I don't like these cups. vs. I don't like this cup. I don't like this book vs. I don't like these books. I don't think I will like this course vs. I don't think I will like my courses.

that (singular) and those (plural)

When to use: things that are far away + past/a while ago.

Thanks! I may just take you up on that offer in the future!!

many thanks. muchisimas gracias. Cuando te apetezca hablar un poco de español, me lo dices. When you feel like practicing spanish, you only have to tell me.
