Saturday August 20th 2016 Wow, I'm too excited, like almost everyday! I'll to August party in São Thomé, it's amazing. I haven't never been in this party for now and I love São Thomé. First at all, I go to work and when I get home I'll study, then I'll get ready my things and myself. I'll to São Thomé with my uncle and my uncle's girlfriend, and we'll sleep there. It will be really amazing. Today I'm going to work less, because it's Saturday. So I'll start at 9 a.m. and leave the shop at 2:30 p.m., which is good because I can get a good time to get ready to go to São Thomé. Can someone please correct me? Thanks you very much! Have a beautiful day. :)

Wow, I'm too excited, like almost everyday! I'll to August party in São Thomé, it's amazing. I haven't never been in this party for now and I love São Thomé.

First at all, I go to work and when I get home I'll study, then I'll get ready my things and myself. I'll to São Thomé with my uncle and my uncle's girlfriend, and we'll sleep there. It will be really amazing.

Today I'm going to work working less, because it's Saturday. So I'll start at 9 a.m. and leave the shop at 2:30 p.m., which is good because I can get a good time to get ready to go to São Thomé.

Can someone please correct me?
Thanks you very much!
Have a beautiful day. :)

I highlighted the areas that I am correcting and will provide an explanation for them below! Please feel free to ask questions! I respond quickly! If it is in bold then that is what the correction should be.

1. Just need to add a comma and the ending of the day for this format of the date: Saturday August 20th, 2016

2. You have "I'll" which is "I will" but you need a verb to complete this sentence since it is for the future. Use I will go to a party in Sao Thome in August. (I don't have the accents for the letters on my laptop, but that is ok!)

3. "It's amazing" should be a separate sentence, also do you mean the party or Sao Thome for "It"? If it is the party it should be: The party will be amazing. Since you have not been there before it will be in the future tense. If you mean the city it will be: Sao Thome is amazing.

4. "I have never" is an expression in English and by using "haven't" instead of "have" you are using a double negative. For example if I said,"I have not NOT had my food today." It means that I have had my food today. The phrase will always be I have never. Your sentence should look like this: I have never been to this party before, but I love Sao Thome.

5. Change "at" to "of" again it is a phrase that must be together that way.

6. I would suggest that you change this to I will go to work since the rest of your sentence is also using "will". It sounds better, because you are telling the reader what WILL happen.

7. Just need to change the word order: ...then I will get myself and my things ready.  OR ...then I will get my things and myself ready. Either works. :)

8. Need the verb after "I will/I'll" since you are GOING somewhere. I will be I'll be going to Sao Thome. You will use "be going" since it is something will happen in the future. If you use "I'll go to Sao Thome" it is still ok, but it just means that the event will happen very very soon.

9. There is no need for a comma here.

10. No comma after the time, but you need it before "because"

11. I understand what you are trying to say, so you will write it like this: ...which is good, because I will have a good amount of time to get ready. OR ...which is good, because I will have plenty of time to get ready. You don't need to mention the city again since the reader knows where you are going. :)

I hope this is clear and helpful! Please ask questions if you need a better explanation! Happy to answer! Good luck with your studies!

I am working on a correction for you now. I was doing that, but then the page did something and deleted it. :( Ok the correction is there now! Sounds like you will have fun! Was this a made up entry? I only ask since it is September right now. :)
