- English homework. Hello everybody. I need help with my English homework. New topic is "used to" and "would" to talk about a past habit. By the way, I didn't know that "would" was for past too. I only knew the conditional use. Anyway, I'll copy the whole excercise, and then, my attempt to solve it. 1 - Cross out the alternative which is not possible. a) I [used to play / played / play] a lot of tennis when I was younger. b) After school I [would take / used to take / take] the bus home. c) He [never used to play / would play / played ] the guitar, but he doesn't play anymore. d) Tim [used to have / would have / had] long hair. e) I [studied / used to study / didn't use to study] French for five years. My answers. a) I [used to play / played / xxxxx] a lot of tennis when I was younger. b) After school I [would take / used to take / xxxx] the bus home. c) He [xxxxxxx / would play / played ] the guitar, but he doesn't play anymore. d) Tim [used to have / would have / xxxxx] long hair. e) I [studied / xxxxx / xxxxxxx] French for five years. According to excercise, it says "the alternative" so, I supose it's only one, but in the last one I think both are incorrect. What do you say? Do I approve? Thanks in advance!October 14, 201521
- Looking for a flat to live. Today, my girlfriend and I were looking for an apartment. It was very hard, not only for walking long distances, but also because of the rain. It was raining the whole afternoon, and we visited some flats. There are a lot of them, but money is the problem. The big ones are expensives and the small ones are old or far away. Soon we have to move, another thing that I hate. You have to package your entire house, move it on a truck, and unpack it. It's a very good time to throw away the trash and things that you don't use. What about you? Have you ever move? Do you like to do it? I mean, moving in the same city.January 20, 201540
- Another entry. This is a test. Today is very hot. Last night it rained like it would be the last one time. There were a lot of lightings and wind. I woke up at 3.30 am and saw that water was entering my house. Still there are fallen trees, water on the street, and so on... it's a chaos. Weather in my city is changing, like in every world does.January 9, 201521
Dos ejercicios
Tengo un sueño.
Ayer tuvo tuve un sueño chocante. Lo dijo cuento todo:Victor entró en el dormitorio, y lo vi un rato. Entonces se le dije:¿Vuelves? Me contestó: en (perdón, no entiendo lo que quisiste decir). Mientras tanto se sentó en la silla y se fijó al ordenador. Se Lo llamé otra vez, pero no me habló dijo nada. De pronto, la escena se cambiaron cambió: Victor entró otra vez, y caminó directamenteo a la silla suya hacia su silla. En este entonces, se me fijó sin ninguna palabras. Me sintió sentí bastante sorprendido. Y.... EN breve en resumen, nunca leo esta escena.
¡Qué estraño extraño!
La vida universitaria
Era un estudiante de la facultad española en una universidad hace un año. Me senté sentía feliz por que me gustaba mucho aprender español mucho. En cada clase, recordé recordaba al pie de la letra el conocimiento que habló la lección que daba nuestra profesora. A decir verdad, me interesaba Arabic excepto árabe en vez de español. Había Hacía deporte al todos los días cada día el año pasado y asistía a varias actividades. Tenía una vita cumpliendo. (Perdón, no entendí esta última oración)
¡Qué bueno!¡Muy bien wujinsong! Buen trabajo.
En algunas partes no entendí totalmente lo que quisiste decir, así que puse lo que creía que quedaba mejor.
Saludos.

- English-mania. Hi everybody! Today was a great day. When I arrived to my work, there was a sign with a legend: "Keep calm and English-mania" That meant we only could speak in English. So, at the begining, everybody was shy and quiet, but later started to speak. Even if we chat, we might do it in English... I think is a good practise to improve my speech and listening. The best part of the day (apart of being Friday) is that there was free pizza for everybody, for the CEO's birthday. Well, I think it was an excellent day, and now, I want to continue practising with somebody... Feel free to correct this. I'll aprecciate it. Thank you!May 30, 201450
Ejercicio de gramáticagrammar (el pretérito)
Mi nombre es Cinderella. Yo vivo con mi madrastra y mi dos hermanastras. Ellas sonestan muy crueles. Hace dos días, todo el día, yo trabajé todo el día: Limpié la casa, lavé la ropa, preparé las comidas, quité el polvo los muebles. Ellas miraronmos la televisión todo el día. Entonces, a las seis, ellas fueron para el("al" suena mejor que "para el") baile al palacio del rey. Lloré por diez minutos, y canté la canción. De repente, mi hada madrina aparecióe en la sala. Ella me regaló un vestido y zapatos, y salí parapor el baile (o también: fui al baile). Entré en el palacio y conocíe alel principe. Inmediatamente nos enamoramos. Bailamos hasta la medianoche, y yo corrí del palacio porque mi noche especial se acabó. (y yo salí corriendo del palacio, porque mi noche especial se acababa). Yo perdí unos de mis zapatos nuevos. Esta tarde, el principe llegóue con mi zapato. Nosotros nos besamos y entonces volamos a Las Vegas y nos casamos. Mi madrastra y hermanastras se volvieron locas.
¡Muy buen trabajo! Congratulations!
Los errores son más que nada de tildes, pero está muy bien.
¡Adelante, continúa así!

Ayer mis tres amigas han vuelto a casa después de un viaje en Sicilia. A decir verdad prefiero estar en casa sola. Hoy es viernes y hace buen tiempo en Nápoles (Napoli en italiano). Las clases han finalizado, y ahora puedo ir a divertirme. He hablado con Agnese y me ha contado cosas interesantes de su viaje. Pero anteanoche supimos la calificación del examen y ninguna de las tres ha pasado. ¡NO! Me preparo a no reír estos días.
Muy bien escrito. ¡Felicitaciones!
Continúa así.
0 votedMay 30, 20140- Hi there! Hi everybody! I'm Matías from Argentina. A couple of days ago, someone told me about Italki. I thaught... Let's give a try, why not? I started meeting people and learning a lot. I think this website is amazing! I am studying English for my work, and also for fun. I love it. I know I make mistakes, and if you can correct me, you will help me a lot. I think I don't write so well, but the worst thing is the fact that I can't understand when English natives speak. Listening videos/audios made for students think they're boring, I like to talk on skype to improve my hearing. This is my first post, and don't have so much to say... so... All the corrections are welcome! Thanks! See you!May 29, 201450
