    "Went" I'm aware that in Russian there are a lot of ways to say "went" but I still have a bit of trouble deciding which verb to use in different situations. What are the differences between "пошел", "ездил", "ехал" and so on? Thank you!

    I love Rottweilers!!

    Some people think Rottweilers dogs are some of the most dangerous dogs in the world, so they don't think about getting a Rottie [instead of repeating the noun you can use a pronoun such as "one"]. But I can tell you that Rottweilers are amazing and intelligents animals.
    I had a Rotweiler his named was Apollo and it was a great experience to having him as my friend.
    He had the ability to protect, he was always loving, he was a guard dog, he was a funny dog , and he played with children without hurting them and he got along [well] with other pets (dogs and cats).
    Finally, I think the behavior of your dog will always depend on its breeding [I would personally write "I think a dog's behavior always depends on its upbringing"]. If you're a good leader, your dog will surely be obedient and a good dog regardless of its breed.

    I love Rottweilers!!

    I have two dogs and on of them is a Rottweiler named Zeus! He's only a year old but weighs about 55 kg. He's just the sweetest thing.

    I agree with the others suggest. There are a lot of different ways to say it and the sentence you wrote is perfectly fine! "I can hardly hear you." "I can barely hear you." "I can't really hear you." I would say any of the three.

    Yeah, I accidentally clicked English because I thought it said "What language is this written in?" or something like that because I wasn't paying much attention. Now I don't know how to delete it...

    Aspect! (I apologize for the double post. I accidently placed it in the wrong section and I don't know how to edit/delete it.) I'm having a difficult time grasping the aspect of, well, aspect in the Russian language. I know it has something to do with the completion of the action but I'm not sure about much else. For example there are the verbs смотреть and посмотреть. Can you explain the difference in meaning and when you would use one instead of the other? What are some other examples? Thank you in advance!

    I don't think we really say "in" the road. That would mean you're physically in the structure of the road. "On" the road means that you're traveling on it so whether you're walking or driving you're "on the road". People also say "down the road" or "up the road". "The car is going up/down the road towards the stoplight."

    We don't really use "on the weekend" much. Instead we say "over the weekend" since the weekend spans more than one day. "On" is used more often to refer to a specific day. For example, "I'm going to brunch on Sunday" or "I'm doing my homework over the weekend." "At the weekend" is incorrect, I think. "At" is used more for physical places or time. For example, "I'm going to my friend's house at one o'clock" or "I'm currently at a party."

    Hmm... It sounds a little off. I think it should be "what are you intending on doing tomorrow night?" or "what do you intend to do tomorrow night?" or "what do you intend on doing tomorrow night?"
