Q. Write sentences about yourself using the ideas in brackets.
1 ( something you haven't done today ) I haven't gone out anywhere today.
今日はどこにも行きませんでした。
2 ( something you didn't do yesterday ) I didn't eat a cake yesterday.

4 ( something you haven't done recently ) I haven't run for my health recently, but I do workout instead. 最近は健康のために走っていない代わりに、ワークアウトをしています。
5 ( something you've done a lot recently ) I've watched the movie in English to learn a lot recently. I think both English line and Japanese subtitle is different a little... Maybe Japanese has many way to say.
最近、英語で沢山の映画を見て勉強しています。でも、英語のセリフと日本語の字幕は少し違うと思う。日本語は表現の仕方が沢山あるから仕方ないのかもしれない。

This exercise is no answer. Because it's myself things. Can you check and correct my answer?
Q. Write sentences about yourself using the ideas in brackets.
1 ( something you haven't done today ) I haven't gone anywhere today.
今日はどこにも行きませんでした。 *I removed the, "out" to sound more natural. Another way to say the same thing and sound more natural is, "I haven't left the house today".
2 ( something you didn't do yesterday ) I didn't eat a cake yesterday.
昨日はケーキを食べませんでした。 *This is perfect.
3 ( something you did yesterday evening ) I had dinner with my friends at Shinsaibashi yesterday evening. 昨日の夕方、友達と心斎橋で晩御飯を食べました。 *I removed the, "a" in this sentence. When saying, "晩御飯を食べる” とか ”朝御飯を食べる”, don't use "a". Example: I had breakfast with my parents. Example: I had lunch with my brother.
4 ( something you haven't done recently ) I haven't run for my health recently, but I workout instead. 最近は健康のために走っていない代わりに、ワークアウトをしています。 *A way to say,”ワークアウトをします” more natural is to say "I workout". The "do" isn't grammatically correct.
5 ( something you've done a lot recently ) Recently, I've watched a lot of movies in English to learn. However, I think both English and Japanese subtitles are a little different. Japanese has many ways to express oneself so maybe it can't be helped.
