Valeu, Jairet! Boas respostas ficam fáceis depois de excelentes perguntas. hehe

- Hey there, Guille. I am from California, in the US, and I haven't heard people use "pal" to refer to an annoying person. Cambridge books, however, are British publications, so I imagine it must be used that way in the UK. To answer your question, you can tell the difference by the context. For example, if someone is speaking with a sarcastic tone, they problem mean 'annoying person', but if they sound genuine, they likely mean 'friend'.0 votedNovember 27, 20160

Hello, my name is Camila, I from Paraguay, but I live in Spain. I am 21 years old.
My English, at the moment, is so-so... Help me, pleaseso-so = not so good, but not so bad
fifty fifty = not completely certain about a decision, or the quality of something (I want to travel to Paraguay this summer, but I am still fifty fifty.)
0 votedOctober 23, 20162- I believe the site's strategy is to divide up a text and send it out to multiple proofreaders - who are likely to be from different varieties of English (British, American, etc.) - that revise their part and then return it to grammarly. This gets the job done fast and (technically) sticks to the idea that qualified people are revising the text. The problems created from this strategy have left many people to feel that the service falls short. Maybe that happened to you.0 votedOctober 17, 20160
- Hey Bárbara, in American English you can use 'do' or 'get' for numbers 1 and 2, and I think number 3 sounds more natural if you say "I think he got a nose job." 'Nose job' refers to rhinoplasty, or plastic surgery on a person's nose. You can also use 'do' and 'get' for number 3, for example, "I think he did/got plastic surgery on his nose."0 votedOctober 10, 20160
- Speak! All you need to do is speak as much as you can! I challenge you to think of 5 questions that people normally ask when they meet a new friend. Then, write the answers that you would say. After that, read your answers aloud for practice. One extra step is to post your sentences here so someone can correct them, this way you know you are saying everything correctly! This may seem strange, but you will be practicing the answers to questions that people will ask you in real life, and when you need to speak you will be more confident because you will have some practice saying it already ;) Good luck!0 votedSeptember 13, 20160
- In the first set of two sentences, the first sentence has only two people; let's say Tom and Jim. (Tom doesn't owe Jim anything, and Jim doesn't owe Tom anything, either.) However, the second sentence has a third person (him). The word "him" refers to a third person, Bill. For example, Tom is talking to Jim and says, "I don't owe Bill anything, and neither do you." Neither Tom nor Jim owe Bill anything. The second set of 2 sentences have the same meaning.0 votedSeptember 13, 20161
Saturday July 31st 2016
I don't have many things to write about today because I spent my whole day at a party. It was very good! There was fun and joy (not natural. I would only say, "I had fun.").
My dad is a cooker, and has a restaurant in my city at City Hall, and also he also works at some parties. So some weekends he works at a party and on weekdays he works in his restaurant. I know, it's hard.
At that party my dad worked, she and made many delicious things. I played a lot with my brother there.
At 9:00 p.m., I already was tired and sleepy, so we left as soon as possible we went away, but my dad stayed there.
Tomorrow, I'll wake up early and go back home.
Could someone please correct me?
Thank you very much, it will help me a lot.
Have a nice day! :)Good work Aninha, keep practicing! Feel free to ask me if you have any questions

I think that English, now (currently), it's is the most important language in the world. I know that my English is not very good, but all days everyday I try to study it. I want to learn a lot because when I will work, I will have to know this language.
English is important and, also, it's a beautiful language.
Also, English people are fantastic! I met some English people some years ago and they are were really good! I loved they them!
Love,
P.
(Sorry for my mistakes.) You don't need to apologize. You are here to learn! :)Yellow indicates things to remove or change
Green indicates things to add

Good work! Keep studying and practicing.

One of my best friends is hands down my big sister. Unlike many brothers and sisters out there, who like to fight with each other all the time, my sister and I are very united. For example, we hardly ever have disagreements with one another. Of course, like many children, when we were kids we would always pick a fight with each other. However, we no longer do that these days; on the contrary, we are very close. Moreover, we have each other's back, and she's always there for me as well as I am there for her.
Furthermore, she's not only very good at giving me advices, but she's also very supportive. I'm the kind of girl who likes to stay out of trouble, but if I ever be am in trouble, I know I can count on her to give me great advices. Also, she's very supportive with me, as I am with her; she always encourages me to chase my dreams no matter what.
Additionally, her taste in a lot of things is pretty similar to mine. We like going to the same places, listening to the same kinds of music, reading the same kinds of books and we are both crazy about TV shows! Besides all that, we have the same way of thinking, I'd say. It's nice talking to her, because we usually have good conversations and I always learn things while chatting with her. I'm proud to say that my sister is one of my best friends,. I really look up to her.Overall, great writing!
"always pick a fight" isn't wrong, but seems more natural as "always pick fights" or "often start fights"
Advice is rarely plural, even when referring to more than one. Indicate plurality by adding a quantifier, "types/kinds of advice"
"I ever am" is also ok, but it is ver common for people to say, "I'm ever"
The other things are really small, but feel free to ask if you have a question.
