I (1) wore a purple striped sweater with a grey skirt and black shoes today. I had two classes -- one (2) class in the afternoon and one class at night. I had dinner in a (3) canteen student restaurant with my classmates. I (4) also bought (5) some garbage bags and a toothpaste from a grocery store when I was on (6) along the way home.Hi Eliza,
Just some suggestions for your writing:
(1) This was something you did earlier in the day. Therefore, we use the past tense (wore).
(2) We use a dash (--) when we want to elaborate or provide more details on something. We can also use the word "one(s)" to refer to something mentioned earlier.
Examples:
There are many apples. Let's choose the fresh ones.
I need two sweaters -- a blue one and a red one.
(3) The part of a school, hostel, company or factory where meals are served is called a "canteen".
(4) Since you did many things besides having dinner, I added the adverb "also" for you.
(5) "Toothpaste" is an uncountable noun, so you cannot use "a" to define it.
I used "some" for you since "some" can be used to quantify both countable nouns (garbage bags) and uncountable nouns (toothpaste).
Do take note that you can use a unit of measure before an uncountable noun so that you can count the units instead. Example: two tubes of toothpaste.
(6) There is nothing wrong with your "when I was on the way home". I used "along the way home" as it has the meaning of stopping to get something since the place is conveniently situated between your starting point and your home.
I hope this helps.
