red is what I removed, everything in side the blue brackets is what I replaced it with.
If there is only red with no blue following it, it means that you can just remove it.
If there is just blue text, that means just add that in without removing anything

Today i (I)...
Today i (I) went to the downtown, to study and meet some friends, (and) then i (I) went home.
Clementina, my dog, was waiting for me, she (. She) was very playful, so i take (I got) some toys and play with she, i (played with her. I) gave she (her) a bath, and food. Now i'm (I'm) writing about it with my amateur english
Someone can help me ?
My writing is very bad?
-----------------------------------------------
Notes:
1) i : Not sure if you know, or if you just did not want to capitalize the I's (we all do it), but in English the word "I" is capitalized, even if it is like this: "I'm"
2) to the : "to the" in the first sentence (highlighted red) is not necessary. Being a native English speaker, I cannot actually think of why, but that is the way it is. (Maybe someone can help answer the exact reason?)
3) , : The 2 red commas are unnecessary, but the second comma should be replaced with an "and"
4) i take : I changed to "I got". Could also be "I picked up". This is a past event, so the verbs should be in a past form
5) play with she : it is passed tense still, so it is "played". It is "her" instead of "she" because "she" is a subject pronoun. This means that "she" can only be used as the subject of the sentence. "Her" is an object pronoun which means that "her" is the thing that you are playing with.
6) she : Same as the previous. "I gave her a bath". "I" is the subject pronoun, and "her" is the object pronoun.
I hope this helps. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask, and keep on learning :)
