The However, it is a pity that daylight saving time is (5) was over for past a few weeks ago.Hi Kellen,
I have always had an impression that Brazil has a long coastline with gorgeous beaches. I don't get to experience daylight saving time though. Does it mean that you have to be vigilant if you were to travel on a plane that took off before daylight saving time sets in and lands after daylight time sets in?
Just a few suggestions for your writing:
(1) Daylight saving time is a specific practice. There is no necessity to use a specific determine "the". For example, we write "Brazil", not "The Brazil". Your name is "Kellen", not "The Kellen". The same explanation applied to "Life".
(2) When we say "the day sky is clear", it can mean "cloudless sky". I am not sure if this is what you meant. However, when I saw the second part of your sentence (still a long day ahead of me), I reckon that you meant there is still plenty of time before dusk. So I changed it to "the sky is still lit (by the Sun)"
(3) The phrase sounds odd as the Sun is at the beach. It gives the impression (at least for me) that the burning ball of gas known as the Sun is found at the beach. I assume that you meant the weather (sunny weather).
(4) We usually write "It is a pity that...." / "What a pity". Therefore, I changed the sentence structure for you.
(5) Daylight saving time has ended for you. It was in the past. Therefore, it "was" over.
** "Sun" should be capitalised as it is a proper noun. Proper nouns refer to specific nouns.
Hope these help!
Cheers,
Lance
