    "with" or "through" is what I would choose.

    It really depends on the context. Native speakers have the same problem when choosing their words. If you are trying to emphasize fitness, health and the appearance of being physically capable or "in shape", choose "healthier" (instead of "more healthy"). If you are trying to emphasize attractiveness, appeal to others, and the appearance of something to be revered simply for how it looks, choose "more beautiful".

    Like Sarah said above, "She is shy no more" is the better way to say that. However, that's more of a poetic way of phrasing the same concept. A native speaker would be more likely to use: "She isn't shy anymore."

    As a native speaker, I use them interchangeably. They mean the same to me. I tend to prefer "as long as", but I believe this is simply a personal preference. I've lived in both the midwest and southeast of the United States, and heard both interchangeably.

    Mi Rutina Diaria He marcado cosas particulares en que tendo duda con "(?)" después, pero me gustaría todo la ayuda que podeis darme. :) Cada día, me despierto muy temprano, a las cuatro y veinte de la mañana. Me levanto, me cepillo los dientes, y, entonces, me visto la ropa atlética. Entonces, salgo de la casa para reunirme con mis amigos para correr. Nosotras corrimos cinco o seis días cada semana (de la semana?). Nos conocimos por el club local de correr, y hace tres años que hemos (habíamos?) corrido juntas. Normalmente corrimos tres a ocho milas, depende en qué nos estamos entrenando. Nos despedimos, y vuelvo a casa para arreglarme para el trabajo. Mientras me ducha, mi esposo se levanta y él le arregla a nuestro hijo. Todos desayunamos juntos antes de irnos. Mi esposo lleva (? otra palabra?) nuestro hijo a (la?) escuela en ruta a (?) su oficina. Su viaje dura solamente veinte minutos en todo. Yo solamente viajo a mi oficina, y el viaje dura una hora porque trabjo en la ciudad. Para llegar a mi oficina, tengo que manejar diez milas en la autopista. Entonces, tomo el tren. Cuando me baja del tren, tengo que caminar otro medio mila a mi oficina. Soy ingeniera estructual. Paso el día haciendo matemática y dibujando planes de construcción. A las cinco de la tarde (noche?), salgo de la oficina y estoy en casa a eso de las seis. Preparo la cena para mi familia, y comemos juntos, hablando de nuestros días. A mi hijo, le ayudo bañar mientras mi esposo limpia la cocina. Después, mi esposo y yo lee cuentos a nuestro hijo. Su favorito en ese momento (?) es El Gato Ensombrerado. Le leemos ése en inglés. También le gusta Buenas Noches, Luna. Le leemos este libro en español. Después de él se duerme, nosotros podemos gozar poco tiempo juntos. Nos gusta mirar "Jeopardy!" en la tele, y competir entre nosotros. A las ocho y media, me acuesto porque tengo que levantarme temprano de nuevo muy pronto.

    Yes, but only if you continue with something that happened while he was living in the village. "lived in" = action is complete "had been living in" = action was in progress "My grandpa had been living in a small village when he was a small child." This gives the impression that your grandpa was only a small child for an instant. The "had been living" makes sense if you said: "My grandpa had been living in a small village when he =got a pet=." or "My grandpa had been living in a small village when he =saw a boat for the first time=." Both of these actions (things that happened when he was living in the small village) are "instant". They do not have a duration.

    "Rudy" is a person's name. When said aloud, "It's Rudy never says please or thank" can sound like "It's rude (that) he never says please or thank you". The "that" is understood.

    Yesterday I saw a documentary called (1) "The Spirit of the Marathon" and, as(2) its(3) title says/suggests/indicates (4), is about the runners who(5) have run a marathon. <...>

    In the documentary, several people spoke (6) explaining what their goals were (7), why they wanted to run a marathon. One (8) girl wanted to run a marathon after she had had a bad personal experience (9), she had divorced and she had gained weight and she had fallen depressed, then she began training for a marathon. (8) Another girl (10) was a runner and she wanted to run a marathon to raise funds for the orphanage (11) where she had been adopted. The third girl was a professional athlete (12)but she had had a injured ligament so in this time she was training for running again a marathon.(13)

    Another (10) runner was (14) a boy from Kenya (15) but he lived and worked in Japan. He was training to (16) win the marathon because in the past (17) he had been the third and the second so he wanted in this marathon to be the first. Finally there was a marvelous (15) man that was retired and he had run several marathons and in this marathon he wanted to improve (18) his time to finished the race, he said that he liked running (the) marathon between others reasons was why not everyone could run a marathon. (19) They all will run Chicago's Marathon. A marathon is a mentally challenge and a physical challenge (20) <...>


    1. La palabra "titled" funciona aquí, pero se dice "called" mâs frecuentamenta. 

    2. Se usa "as" para describir algo que pensaría. "Por supuesto", el atlético corre más rápidamente que el gordo = "the athletic man ran faster than the fat man, as expected" 

    3. its = "su", it's = "es" 

    4. Estas palabras son mejores en esta frase. Se puede usar cualquiera (indicates, suggests, says), pero pon atención a la última letra "s". 

    5. Como "los que han corrido", necesitas la palabra "who"

    6. En inglés, los verbos siguen los sujectos casi siempre.

    7. Usar "which" es raro en inglés. Normalmente, se dice "what". Es por eso que muchos americanos preguntan "¿Qué color, día, trabajo?" en lugar de "Cuál <>?"

    8.Gramática

    9. Bien hecho. Usaste este tense muy bien. 

    10. "Other" es adjectivo. "Another" es una persona o una cosa. Es una palabra "combinada" (no creo que sea como se dice) "an + other", como "a + el = al" en español. 

    11. "orphan" es la persona. "orphange" es el lugar en que viven.

    12.  Se faltan letras

    13. No entiendo, pero he visto la película. Te recomiendo: "and had to modify her training for this marathon". 

    14. "was from" en lugar de "came from"

    15. letras

    16. "for a race" o "for a personal best", pero "to win"

    17. "in the past" no "in the previous" 

    18. Ya es pasado porque "wanted". "Wanted to improve" = "quería mejorar". "wanted to improved" sería "quería mejorada". 

    19. Intentas decir "el gustaba correr el maratón porque alguien puede hacerlo"? Si sí, usa "he said that he liked running the marathon because, among other reasons, anyone could do it". 

    20. Opciones: "a challenge, both mentally and physically", "a mental challenge and a physical challenge"

    21. Ya es cierto, pero sería mejor decir: "I hope to run a marathon sometime in my life"


    Yo también corre. He corrido dos maratones, pero prefiero las distancias más cortas, como el 10K. Me gustaría hablar más contigo de nuestras carreras y entrenamiento.
