Hey, could you please check these sentences for me? 你好！请核对这个正文。谢谢!:)
我妈妈和外婆的德语很好。妈妈在大学学习德文和俄文。他是德语老师。外婆在德国很多工作了。作年也，他在这儿帮助老人。那位老人死，外婆从德国回来了。

There are things I'm unsure of, like

Can I use 也 in that sentence above in the meaning "she was helping old people there in the last year too"?
(Before I only used it like 你和咖啡。他也和咖啡。 "You are drinking coffee. He is drinking coffee too.")

Also I'm not sure of the use of 了. Where should I put it in a sentence, and what does it do with the meaning of a sentence? Could you please explain to me?

Thank you in advance!:)oohh, in the 也 part in the example sentences I typed 和 instead of 喝 . It was a mistake, I didn't look at what the computer displayed for "he". :D

Answer

1 我  妈妈  和  外婆  德语  说得  很  好。
2  妈妈  在  大学  教  德文  和  俄文。
3 她  是  德语  老师。
4 外婆  在  德国  很  长  时间  工作 了。
5 她  在  那儿   当  老人  的  帮手。
6 那 位 老人 死了  以后， 外婆  从  德国  回来了。

Answer

for 也:   你喝咖啡， 他也喝咖啡 is right ,... but 作年也。。  this sentence does not make sense  ,  last year is 去年， not 昨年.   if u want to say  ：last year too＝ 去年也在（德国工作）
for 了： if u add 了 into sentence , the sentence becomes past tense .. and it is usually put in the end of sentence .. or after verb :   for example : 他喝咖啡了  ， 他喝了咖啡。and the difference between the two , im not sure , but as for a native speaker , i think  if u add 了 after verb , you emphasis coffee ... if u add 了 at the end of sentence , it  same as  he drank coffee .

我妈妈和外婆的德语很好。 我妈妈在大学学习德文和俄文，（后来她成为了）德文老师。外婆在德国工作了很多年（外婆在德国有很多工作？which one do u want to say )，去年也是。她在那里帮组（一位）老人，（后来）那位老人死了，外婆（就）从德国回来了。
