    I would say, "we have the same birthday". If I were to say the second phrase, I would say, "Our birthday is ON the same day". But I think, "we have the same birthday" is more natural to say.

    In my opinion when they say, "I've been in this life longer than the other", in this context the character means he has been living the life of a knight, or a solider, in the military - longer than he has lived as a "normal person". He has identified as one of King Arthur's knights with his own understanding of who he as a person. If he isn't one of King Arthur's knights, than who or what is he? He's been living a knight's life, longer than a man's life (or a civilian's life). When he says "It's not so clear in my memory" - I interpret that as his life before knighthood is so distant in his memory, and he doesn't know how he will proceed. That is what I think it means. I hope this helps!!! - Melissa

    I feel sad...

    <em>This is fine. Good job</em>

    I feel sad...for my English teacher. We have lessons all mondays...

    <em>I am feeling sad for my English teacher. We normally have lessons every Monday...</em>

    buy today she wrote for saying that her grandma feels bad and now she is in the hospital.

    <em>but today she had to cancel class via email, because her grandma is sick in the hospital. </em>

    Her grandma is in the US an she is in Chile. 

    <em>Unfortuantely her grandma is in the USA, but my teacher has been in Chile. </em>

    If a member of my family feels bad, I feel very bad too...

    <em>If someone in my family doesn't feel good, than I don't feel good either...</em>


    <em>I hope you don't mind, I interpretated the meanings of your sentences and changed them a little. This is how I would say it. Overall great job thought! Sorry about your teacher, if you have any questions please contact me!</em>

    <em></em>- Melissa

    Cuándo utilizar ciertas palabras y dispositivos gramaticales? Tengo muchas preguntas ahora acerca de la gramática española. Si usted pudiera por favor me ayude a entender, y explicar lo siguiente para mí... para vs. por In the only Spanish class I have ever taken (Medical Spanish, twice) - I learned that para means - in order to, and for and that por means for No se cuando utilizar los artículos o conjunciones. También no siento confortable cuando usando lo siguiente... a vs al, or a when followed by the infinitive form a verb, del que - when not asking a question but as part of a statement como - when not asking, but as part of a statement. Sé que estoy pidiendo mucho, pero le agradecería cualquier ayuda, orientación o ejemplos que me podía dar para ayudarme a entender. Muchas gracias!!!

    AY! trabajo, la escuela, y la burocracia El lunes fue mí primer día regreso al trabajo. Era más mejor que pensé que sería. Y por eso estoy agradecido. Gracias a Dios. Mí programa de la escuela es más difícil que prensé sería. Hoy tomé un examen por una clase y lo fallé! Es mi culpa. No estaba lista por el examen, y mostró. También el estado de California en Los Estados Unidos odia a sus enfermeras. Me apliqué por una licencia en Junio. Hace 3 meses!!! Para empeorar las cosas, recibí una carta de California en el sábado pasado, que dijeron que mis huellas eran inadecuadas y necesito enviar las nuevas. Envié en martes, pero es probable que tome 45 días más para ellos recibir, revisar y decidir si van a aprobar mis huellas y me dan mi licencia de California RN. Creo que el hombre hablé con lo estaba haciendo muy conservador con su estimación. Te lo juro, que será un milagro si mi licencia viene a través de antes de Navidad.

    *Things for a picnic* I would say it like this, "Whenever we go on a picnic everyone brings something. Last time I brought some cheese to share". Instead of "each one" I would say everyone brings something. If everyone carries something that means that the item is physically on their person. Which if that is what you are trying to convey I would say like this: "Everyone carries whatever they brought for the picnic". Hope that makes sense!!!

    1. Not/ no - they are both negatives, but they have different uses. The word not is best used when negating a state of "to be", I am not a nurse, I am not religious, I am not from there... I am not You are not They are not We are not and no is used typically when describing ownership, or when negating a noun - person, place or thing, around the word have. I have no dog I have no money I have no friends She has no children They have no car. Etc. But you could also say, "I do not have any money" - but then again you are going from a "to be " state. But both are correct in that case. House vs. home Home is associated with comfort, family, and good things. "I want to go home", "home is where the heart is", "this house is not a home" House is a building where you live. It's more cold, and not associated with everything good. For ex., when talking about someone else who left to return back to their _____ you can say both "She went home earlier" OR "She went back to her house". It can be both. But if you are referring to the place that you love, and you want to go back to, and you also live there - that is home. If you are talking about the building that is usually referred to as a house... I hope that makes sense!
