day #3

It's Saturday! I had a very good day at school. English lesson was very boring today... :|
For At the moment I'm waiting for my friend who had to come to me was suppose to meet up with me 3 hours ago but she's always late!

P.S. Please, correct my errors. Thank you.

 

I found this advice online about "At the moment" vs "For the moment". I think it's good advice. I had to think for a moment to see if i was giving you the proper one to use. Hope it helps, you are doing great. =)

 

"at the moment = now and ongoing.

eg I am studying chemistry at the moment ... AND ...next I will so something else

For the moment = now while waiting for something

I am living with friends for the moment ( BUT will get a place of my own as soon as possible)

I am happy at the moment = I am in the now and life is good

I am happy for the moment = life is OK but I know it is going to go all wrong again, just as it always does

re previous sounding wrong, if you finish the sentences, there is a difference in nuance:
I can't see you at the moment. Goodbye, call me later.

I can't see you for the moment, but I'll see you sometime soon when I am free." -Thar
