My morning In the mornig I take my daughter meeting her scout friends. They had meeting at 9, and we were late because it was 9.20 ( can I say "because we were 20 minutes late "?). There was nobody where they had to meet, so I thougth they had already gone away. I was thinking what to do when I understood : it wasn't late, it was early because last night time was changed , now there is winther time. THANKS TO EVERYBODY WHO WANTS TO CORRECT ME

Hi Cinzia-- your English is great!  here is a suggestion to improve...

In the morning I take my daughter to meet her scout friends. We were late as it was 9:20 and they had the meeting at 9:00.  There was nobody there, so I thought they had gone.  I was thinking what to do when I understood:  it wasn't late, it was early because the time changed last night.  Now it's winter time.

Cinzia, here is another way of writing it.

 

My morning

 

This morning I took my daughter to meet her scout friends. They had meeting at 9, but we were twenty minutes late. There was nobody there, so I thought they had already left.  I was thinking about what to do when I realized we were not late.  We were early because last night the time changed. Time was set back one hour because it is now winter time.

In the US we set it back one hour too.  We call it daylight savings time.  Also, we spell it "realize" instead of "realise".   Al

My morning

In the morning (or you could say ´This morning' instead)  I took my daughter to meet her scout friends. They had a meeting at 9, and we were late because it was 9.20 ( can I say "because we were 20 minutes late "?- yes that would be fine! ). There was nobody  where we had to meet, so I thought they had already gone. I was thinking what to do when I realised we weren't late, we were early because last night the clocks went back , now it's  winter time.
