I would only use "I did see" to confirm that I saw something if someone asked (e.g. "Yes, I did see the movie). In the past tense, "I saw" would typically be used. I don't really understand the grammar as to why though. Hopefully someone will chime in.
"I don't saw" is not correct. You would say, "I didn't see" in the past tense.
"I don't ate" is not correct. You would say, "I didn't eat" in the past tense.
"I don't spoke" is not correct. You would say "I didn't speak" in the past tense.
Always remember though, it's not you that's weird, it's English that's weird! The grammatical rules are so often strange, arbitrary, and inconsistent. Hang in there though, you'll get the hang of it with enough practice. Keep at it!

You should hear me try to pronounce pero vs perro when I'm practicing my spanish. I can't make the rolling "rr" sound at all. Still, everybody knows what I mean and they don't seem to mind. :)
0 votedJanuary 20, 20180I chose studying law because I understand that it this is a field that can change not only my life, but also improve the lives of others if I in my society. From seaging??? traveling, I saw a lot of countries, both rich and poor, and most of the problems are in the dishonest and hidden legislation of these countries and the corrupt judges and politicians. This is probably this was for me the reason decision why I wanted to choose this sphere of law (economics and management).
Nice work. I'm not a great editor, but this is how I would say it. Cheers!
0 votedJanuary 19, 20181Today, I started an online mindfulness course. I thought that it was going to be good idea because I could improve my English and in the meantime while learning something that is interesting for me.
I love everything about what I have been reading. Today, I learned about how our personality takes shape, as well as some knowledge from the Buddhist philosophy.I have laerned learned that the personality development is influences influenced by our experiences and as well as our genetic heritage; ,last both creates our personality and it translates into our own behavior. At the same times time the human belief is based in subjectives subjective things (our view of our self, of others and of the world) and determineted determined our behavour behavior and our expectations. Buddha say that is better don't belive about to not believe in things that can change with the circumstances or with the past passing of the time, because it is over out of our control.
Our perspective, our personality and our ciscuntances circumstances always are are always changing; they are the result of energy in movement, so to belive believe about them is always to will always give us insatisfaccion dissatisfaction, because we will think that we can control something that it's impossible to control and it would give cause us frustration.
Buddha says that is better to believe in the absence of self, to believe in the no self, to believe that there is no about things that are permanent individual self.
I think it is very interested interesting and I am looking to continuous continue with the next topic of my course.You did an amazing job with this. This is a very complex subject matter any language! You conveyed yourself extremely well, my edits are pretty minor.

My colleague sudden recently serious told us that she has been divorced since for two months ago.I can't believe it because she has just been married for one year, and before that they had been in relationship for six years!
She said that her husband became a totally different person after being married.
How come for a person to change a lot Why does a person change so much in a year?
Coincidentally, I saw heard someone say on a TV show a saying in the TV series "Marriage is not about always being happy. It's about compromise. It's about swallowing your pride sometimes."
Well, as far as I am concerned, if my husband knows that, then I agree with it too.
Nice work! I'm not a very good editor, but this is how I would write it as a native speaker. Incidentally, my 11 years of happy marriage confirm the quote from the television program... :) Cheers!

By the time I went to Belfast to study as an Erasmus scholar, International Human Rights Law was already an area that appealed to me thoroughly greatly. This is the reason why I enrolled in a pure Human Rights module, as my home university does not offer a course entirely about Human Rights. I needed to test my fondness for Human Rights so as to be sure that it was not weak and therefore, not my true passion. The result was completely positive; I enjoyed the module a lot and it encouraged me to keep reading academic articles and human rights blogs in order to continue learning. Learning is a tough task because it does not have an end.Your English is excellent! The edits I made are very minor.

Perfume in Subway Stations
Recently, I read an article which that interested me a lot, and I wrote this entry to share it with you. I would like to share this with you, that is why I wrote this entry.
The city of Lyon decided to install fragrance diffusers in it's subway stations. The perfume, said the interviewee, will improve the comfort of the customers by masking them the unpleasant odors of in the subway stations. Customers would find feel that the place is cleaner and they will feel safer than usual. That is why they selected the "Green Tea" perfume, in addition to the harmless molecule this perfume is made up of.
The first tests were conclusive, and if the next steps of the rollout went on satisfying the customers, the city of Lyon would install fragrance diffusers inside buses as well.0 votedJanuary 19, 20181Overall you did a great job. I'm not a good editor, but here are the changes that I would make. Cheers!
Nowadays many people claim that a wide range of animals are endangered and that we should do something as soon as possible for to save them. However a lot of people don't do anything for to improve this situation, perhaps because they are thinking about other problems in their which surround their lives. The the question is: is it right to help animals?
Firstly, it is clear that animals are mostly disappearing because of hunting. For this reason, without a doubt For example, elephants are killed every day for the commerce of avory ivory or and bears are killed for the production of furs. Furthermore, a large number of polar bears and penguins have lost their lives on account of rising sea levels.
The main reason of for protecting these animals is that they live on Earth as just like humans, so there is no reason to kill them or not respect them are no issues for kill them or for not respect them. They aren't less important than humans; are, they are beautiful and they deserve to live a marvelous life.
Zoos which keep animals in enclosures for long many years are another argument issue. They really don't help;, conversely, they make the situation worse.
To sum up, there are strong arguments on this theme. So I believe that we should do something, we have to respect them and forbid hunting. I also think that it is really important to begin using ecological things.0 votedJanuary 19, 20180
