    Grammar / I am doing

    1. ( tomorrow morning )
    I’m going to make French toast tomorrow morning.
    明日の朝はフレンチトーストを作ります。
    *Perfect

    2. ( tomorrow evening )
    I’m going out for dinner with my former coworkers tomorrow evening.
    明日の番は前の仕事仲間と晩ご飯を食べる予定です。
    *I changed “last” to “former”. In this sentence, last sounds strange.

    3. ( next Sunday )
    I’m not doing anything next Sunday. I need to relax because I’m stressed out from work work.
    次の日曜日は何もしません。仕事のストレスがひどくて、休みが必要です。
    *I made word changes to sound more natural. People don’t really say, “need a big rest”. “Need to relax” is more natural.

    4. ( choose another day or time )
    I’m going to travel to see my friends in Australia this winter.
    今年の冬は、オーストラリアにいる友達に会いに行く予定です。
    *I deleted the “with”. If your were going to say, “友達と一緒に行く”, then you would say, “I’m going with my friends”. In this sentence, the “with” is incorrect.

    Present Perfect and part2(I have done and I did) / English Grammar in Use

    This exercise is no answer. Because it's myself things. Can you check and correct my answer?

    Q. Write sentences about yourself using the ideas in brackets.
    1 ( something you haven't done today ) I haven't gone anywhere today.
    今日はどこにも行きませんでした。 *I removed the, "out" to sound more natural. Another way to say the same thing and sound more natural is, "I haven't left the house today".
    2 ( something you didn't do yesterday ) I didn't eat a cake yesterday.
    昨日はケーキを食べませんでした。 *This is perfect.
    3 ( something you did yesterday evening ) I had dinner with my friends at Shinsaibashi yesterday evening. 昨日の夕方、友達と心斎橋で晩御飯を食べました。 *I removed the, "a" in this sentence. When saying, "晩御飯を食べる” とか ”朝御飯を食べる”, don't use "a". Example: I had breakfast with my parents. Example: I had lunch with my brother.

    4 ( something you haven't done recently ) I haven't run for my health recently, but I workout instead. 最近は健康のために走っていない代わりに、ワークアウトをしています。 *A way to say,”ワークアウトをします” more natural is to say "I workout". The "do" isn't grammatically correct.

    5 ( something you've done a lot recently ) Recently, I've watched a lot of movies in English to learn. However, I think both English and Japanese subtitles are a little different. Japanese has many ways to express oneself so maybe it can't be helped.
    最近、英語で沢山の映画を見て勉強しています。でも、英語のセリフと日本語の字幕は少し違うと思う。日本語は表現の仕方が沢山あるから仕方ないのかもしれない。

    *this sentence is really difficult to say in English.

    Grammar / used to

    I used to eat junk food and sweet things, but I don’t like them anymore.
    *The use of "used to" is perfect here. I changes, "these now" to, "them anymore" to sound more natural.
    ジャンクフードや甘いものをよく食べてたけど、今は好きじゃありません。

    I used to read the mystery novels, but now I prefer novels about everyday life.
    *The use of "used to" is perfect here, but, "the novel of mystery" sounds a little unnatural. Instead, use, "mystery novels". Instead of "usual life", maybe say "novels about everyday life".
    ミステリー小説が好きだったけど、今は日常が書いてある小説の方が好きです。

    I didn’t use to cook for my lunch , but now I’m into making bentos.
    *The negative form of, "used to" should be, "use to" (didn't use to). "Do bento", sounds a little unnatural. Maybe try saying, "making bentos".
    前は使っていなかったけど、今は弁当を作ることに夢中です。

    I didn’t use to stretch, but now I do often work out.
    *The use of "used to" is perfect here. I moved, "now" so that it sounds more natural.
    今はワークアウトした後にストレッチをしっかりしています。
