Hello, I'm Shaun and I'm Scottish. I have lived in Scotland, England and Canada. English is my native language but I want to be multilingual. I'm looking to improve my French and in exchange I would be happy to speak to anyone in English if it would help them.

    Please correct me sentences.

    I learned some grammar from a movie and I fill out the these sentences.
    Please correct my grammar. I want to make sure that my grammar is correct.

    *Their nationality difference won't matter.
    *It will not matter their nationality difference.

    (I am not completely sure what you mean, but you could try the following)

    It will not matter that their nationalities are different

    or

    It will not matter that they have different nationalities

    *It doesn't matter whether I have money or not.

    This is fine.  You could also try:

    It doesn't matter if I have any money or not

    Fine


    *I would might stay here until next April. I'm not sure......

    or you could say

    *I'll be able to get a job because my friend introduced to me to the owner.

    I think it is better to say:

    I need to speak English to apply for this job

    *I've been able to speak English fluently lately.

    Fine but it would probably be better to say

    My English has improved lately

    or

    *You should have asked me. I could have helped you.

    Fine


    *You could have accepted the plan if you had had enough time.

    Fine


    *Why didn't you accept the plan? You could have had got a good opportunity.

    I don't want to still be alone (Or I don't want to still be lonely)

     

    I have many friends in college, many others in my district, and a big lovely family, but I still feel lonely. I always love to stay in a calm, quiet place to live and think.  Maybe this is why I love the moon and the sky at in the night.  One day, 3 years ago, I stayed for more than 5 hours, looking at the sky and speaking with the moon about everything I thought about at that time (or during that time).  Maybe I need love nowadays.  I think that will make a difference.

    Hello Brief refers to time. For example "I was there briefly" - means I was only there for a small amount of time. "I will give you a brief explanation" - means I will not take a long time giving you the explanation. Short really means the opposite of tall. For example "He is short" if he is only 4 feet tall. It can be used more generally to mean small. "I gave a short answer" - means I gave an answer that was not very long. Short can also be used for time. "I will see you in a short amount of time" - means I will see you in a small amount of time. You can also say "I will see you shortly". People use "shortly" to mean "soon" but it is not the same as "briefly" "I will see you briefly" means I will see you for a short amount of time "I will see you shortly" means I will see you soon Hope this helps!

    No, you should not write like that, unless in very informally. If you want to send a text message to a close friend you can write like that, otherwise write the full words.
