Devastation is a noun, but your sentence calls for an adjective. The correct way of saying it would be: I am devastated. The noun devastation could be used in the sentence: The earthquake caused widespread devastation. I hope this helps.

1 and 2. When I first started learning Spanish, I thought about what I wanted to write about in English and then basically just translated it word for word into Spanish. Now that I feel more comfortable with the language, I think about what I want to say in Spanish and write it as I go.

 

3. The most difficult thing for me is choosing the correct words that make sense and sound natural. There are so many nuances and idiomatic expressions that only a native speaker knows about.

 

4. I always edit my text - usually multiple times. I read it over for grammar and flow.

 

5. English used to play a huge role because I would always have to write in English and then translate. Now that I know more Spanish, it is beginning to play less of a role.

 

 

Syrian news

When I hear news of Syria my head I remember this phrase: (You could also say, "... the following phrase comes to mind.)

"Cuando el poder al amor sobrepase el amor al poder, el mundo conocerá la paz".

I think that in English this would be: When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.

 

Good job! Almost perfect!

About four years ago, One day about four years ago, I arrived home and found a cat in our kitchen. It was on a towel under the table, shaking and with a sad look in its eyes. It was skinny and its hair was all dirty. My mother told me that a friend of my sister had found it on the street and, since she couldn't take it to her home, the cat had ended up in ours. The vet had said he wasn't sure if it was going to make it through the following days. survive.

 

The next day I named her Cata (it was a she), because I didn't want she her to die without a name. Fortunately, Cata didn't die then and she became one of the most beautiful things that have happened to me to have entered into my life. I remember the first few days she was very scared. I brushed her hair and she gained weight quickly. She had no longer had that sad look.

 

Though she was pretty jumpy fidgety at first, she seemed to like me. Soon afterwards I found her, she began spending almost the whole entire days with me. She would followed me along throughout the house and she would sat down on my legs on my lap when I studied. When I took a shower, she would waited patiently beside the bathroom door and when I was in another room, she would put her paw on the door repeatedly to make me get me to open it. She would purred when I was close to her, even if I didn't caress her.

 

These were, in general, difficult years to for me, but it's really strange remarkable the power a ability pets has have to make one feels he's not alone and to relieve his sorrow. to alleviate a person’s loneliness and sorrow.

She died last year, and now I miss her. The past is a very particular possession. (I’m not exactly sure what you’re trying to say. Maybe something like this: Some memories never fade.)

 

Despite all the edits, this was very well-written. Most of the corrections were not grammatical. I merely tried to make it sound a bit more natural. By the way, I am so sorry about your loss. It sounds like Cata was a good friend and that you helped each other in your times of need.

 

The word "ain't" originated as a contraction for the words "am not", which started out as amn't and later evolved into ain't (probably because it's easier to pronounce). Over the years, the word "ain't" also replaced "are not" and "is not" and their respective contractions, but only in very informal settings and amongst the less-educated. It is not proper English, but you will hear it a lot in the southern parts of the U.S.

It is difficult to say exactly what it means without knowing the context in which it was said, but I'm guessing it means "in any case" or "nonetheless".
