Original Sentence:

he found out that I was tailing him so quickly, I was confident but I guess we'll have to be even more discreet.

Corrected Sentence:

He found out that I was tailing him so quickly! I'd been confident [with/in _____], but I guess I'll have to be even more discreet from now on.

The sentence would be clearer if you included what you were confident in. Example: 'my/our skill'

My Artful Essence:) - part2 (please, correct it)

The doctor insisted that I came come with them. I agreed, but bet assumed that they would solve the problem very quickly, because I was waited. I was sitting waiting on a bench in the corridor during their discussion. In A couple of minutes later, the manageress <em>(in English, the word manager has no gender, both males and females are managers)</em> approached me and in a gentle voice explained to me that they had connected with another clinic and it is was ready to accept us, but, unfortunately, only after New Year's. I said that it was not too urgently so we are were satisfied okay with it that. On the one hand, I was happy because I adore to get wish love being foxy, artful creative. The manageress explained me so detailed spoke with me in depth, I felt she which pleased me. She was really afraid my potential reportage retribution/news report, although I was'd been bluffing. Maybe it's is my essence in my nature to be crafty, because I'm always proud of myself at such moments. On the other hand, I couldn't enjoy fully enjoy her servile speech behavior, because I was thinking about my husband who was nervous and uptight about his delayed work. being late to work.
The manageress called back me again in a half hour later, offering another date (one before the New Year). My mom smiled: "You have found the proper button pushed the right buttons. However you have to write real newspaper articles. At the very least, highlight a positive events(did you mean aspects?)!"
Thanks heavens that you (who is the 'you' in this sentence? God, the heavens, or her mom?) gave me my temper and resourcefulness, and please, let this ultrasound will show that my son is completely healthy.

My Artful Essence:) - part1 (please, correct it)

Suddenly I saw the nurse, so I said to my husband, "The nurse is here, that means that the doctor is off-duty now, so I can ask her for the prescription."

He replied, "Ok, but be hurry quick, because I have to be on go to my work now soon."

"Don't worry, it won't take much time," I said.
I ran run to the doctor. She tried to talk me out of my idea saying, "Your son has a good blood test The results of the blood test were good, so inflammatory process is absent  there is no inflammation. I don't see  think it's necessary to do an ultrasound procedure." I insisted, because another doctor saw the problem  so and I wanted to be sure. The doctor said to me, "Our clinic doesn't perform such procedures, we don't haven't an expert here, so you have to do it in at another clinic, therefore it will be a paid-for service."

I knew it. "We want to control our son's condition, so we are ready to pay money for it, but we have to have the a prescription where will be marked which contains his exact diagnosis and the distinct exact zone for the ultrasound diagnostic." She asked me to wait for her nurse in the waiting room. It was her mistake. When I have time to wait, I have time to think, so something unexpected could come into and something unexpected came to my mind. I came into entered the doctor's office again. "Excuse me, but I heard that there is low a law stating that if any clinic hasn't opportunity to make any cannot conduct certain treatments or research, so it has to it must make an agreement with another clinic."

She replied, "I know nothing about it."

"So, maybe your manager will know," was my reaction.

"We will have an appointment with our meet with our manageress, she can prove that our clinic can't help you."
The nurse came back. The doctor asked her to write the prescription. I repeated my question, "Well, are you going to ask your manageress about such a situation?"
The doctor offered told me to ask her myself. I responded that I could do it, but it would be another mood (?), because my patience begin to finish had begun to run out. My son can't to get control research from September (?). I proposed recommended that the doctor to talk with her manageress first. Then if it she won't wouldn't help, I will would meet with her. I advised, "Tell her that a furious mom came to you, she works in mass media and she is going to make a report about this." (I want to add that I was completely calm as the giraffe, as a stone at that moment).

Good job, but in certain places you were unclear. Also, in English, we start a new paragraph everytime someone different speaks. I wish you luck with your future writing.

Welcome

Hi everyone!
This is my first note here. I've been learning English since I was a child, but I didn't have a good teacher so I need some additional help. I can read in this language very well, but I have problems with making sentences and I don't usually know when I should add 'a/the' before some words! I'll put here some notes here and I hope that you can help me make my English better. :)

First of all, I'd like to congradulate you! You managed to convey your message very clearly with only a few mistakes. I'm going to include the explanations for my corrections below, in case you're curious.

When you're talking or writing about something that you did continuously for a period of time, you need to use either: [the conjugated form of 'to have' + past participle of the verb] OR [the conjugated form of 'to have' + been + present participle].

<em>I've played sports since I was three years old.</em>

<em>I've been playing sports since I was three years old.</em>

In the above example both are correct, but that won't always be the case. Sometimes one is better than the other; it just takes practice to recognize which one.

We usually add commas before the word 'but' because it is where we would pause in our sentence if we were speaking.

When using the word 'some' you are implying not all but more than one. Therefore, you should add an 's' to whichever noun follows.

Also, when using pronouns like 'here' or 'it', English speakers place them <em>after </em>the verb.

Adding the words 'that' and 'can' make the last sentence flow better. Also, the word 'can' makes it sound more polite in my opinion.

Grammar

"the bread my wife makes is much better than that which we can buy at a store."
in the above sentence, can we leave out the word that or which?

You can, though the sentence is clearer with the words 'that which' included. You are making a comparison. To do so properly, you need the two subjects you are comparing: 'the bread my wife makes' AND '(the bread) we can buy at a store'. <em>That which</em> is essentially a replacement for <em>the bread</em>.

Fortunately, though the sentence you provided is correct, very few (young) people would use it. Instead, we would say "the bread my wife makes is much better than what we can buy at a store". It's less formal/proper, but much more common. Or, you could simply use: "the bread my wife makes is much better than the bread we can buy at a store".

About me

I'm a 17-year-old student from a high school in Poland. I've been trying to learn English for many years, but I've been absolutely unsuccessful. I want to learn this language for many reasons, but the most important is my plan to go study in a western university. I also really like English (and anglo-saxon) films and literature and I want experience them in their original language.
