Living in London
Hi all; long time ago I have been living in London for attending a post-graduate Master course in an prestigious international school; in the morning my lessons started at 9 o' clock to 5 p.m. I still was at school an half hour with friends and after that I could have a amazing 30 minutes walk coming back home.The school is near Totthenam Court road and my home near Marble Arch; of course I could do it If I was no so much tired and, above all , it did not rain at all. Usually If I didn't stop my self during walking, at 6 p.m. I was at home, but sometime I had to make some shopping (eating, getting Book, newspapers etc) and so, I arrived at home later..

Living in London
Hi all; a long time ago I was living in London while attending a post-graduate master course in a prestigious international school. My lessons started at 9 o'clock in the morning (or a.m. to be consistent) and ended at 5 p.m. I would remain at school for an extra half hour to spend time with friends, and after that I would have a amazing 30-minute (hyphen when used as an adjective) walk coming back home. The school is near Tottenham Court Road, and my home was near the Marble Arch. Of course, I could manage the walk if I was not too tired and, above all, if it did not rain at all. I was usually home by 6 p.m. if I didn't stop while walking — but sometimes I had to do some shopping (food, books, newspapers, etc.) and would arrive home later. If I would take the Tube from Tottenham Court Square, I would arrive earlier, of course.(Alberto: It looks like you're writing a story about your day-to-day life in London from years ago. This is challenging in English, since it includes perfect, imperfect, preterite, conditionals, etc., and our rules aren't necessarily as strict as Romance languages. I've edited this to match how I'd say it — but there are several ways. We often mix these tenses and use them improperly. I've changed my mind on a few of my own suggestions, as I've edited this.)
