[anhhailua2004]

The capital of Colorado is Denver. I have never been in there. I passed by there several times while (I was) driving to Kansas. I have a sister who 's her husband live there. They've been married for over five years.

I have never been in there. <> I have a sister who 's her husband live there.

I'm sending out my apology for this late update. But here's the next sentence.

I can speaks english good. I doesn't got to go school to learning grammar. My grammar are already perfectly. I know there is alot of people who'll thought otherwise.

[Learnr]

I can speaks english good. I doesn't got to go school to learning grammar. My grammar are already perfectly. I know there is alot of people who'll thought otherwise.

I can speak English well. I don't get to go to school to learn grammar. My grammar is already perfect. I know there are a lot of people who'll think otherwise.

[gdpt-]

Hehe, well done, Learnr. Your sentences are all grammatically correct.

However,
"I doesn't got to go school to learning grammar."

This is what I had in mind,
I don't have to go to school to learn grammar. (Which leads to the next sentence "'my grammar is already perfect.")

I gots to go to the store to buy fruit, and the last time I went to the stores I forget to brought my wallet. If I has brung my wallet last time and I would have too going to the store again.

[Learnr]

I gots to go to the store to buy fruit, and the last time I went to the stores I forget to brought my wallet. If I has brung my wallet last time and I would have too going to the store again.

I get to go to the store to buy fruit. And the last time I went to the store, I forgot to bring my wallet. If I had brought my wallet, I wouldn't have had to go to the store again.

(I omit the phrase "last time" in the third sentence)

PS: The last sentence can also be understood as "I wouldn't have to go to the store again." in case this is the fact referring the person is going to the store, in the present, as said in the first sentence.

[gdpt-]

I get to go to the store to buy fruit.

In this case, it should be "I have to go to the store to buy fruits."

I have to go to the store = Tôi cần phải đi chợ
I get to go to the store = Tôi có thể đi chợ/Tôi đi chợ được

The last two sentences imply that I did go to the store, however, I couldn't buy anything because I left my wallet at home. Therefore, I have to go again.

"I gots to..." is used very often in speech (especially by African Americans), however, it is grammatically incorrect. Ex: I gots to finish this work. I gots to come back here. Hehe, if I had a nickle for everytime I hear the "I gots to" phrase ... I would've been rich.


And the last time I went to the store,
Here, you can completely omit "and." So it'll be "The last time I went to the store ..."

Everything else is near perfection.

I'm verry bad at grammar. :( Thanks sis jeedy for this topic. :)

Answer: Jane, who was a former Marine and retired professor, was a victim of an internet scam.

Here, I am using 'an internet scam' instead of 'an internet scammer' because a scammer is a person who scams someone and therefore makes the sentence too specific. We would then need to identify who the scammer is. An internet scam is another way of saying internet fraud, which is broader. Anyone can be a victim of internet fraud.

@Aisti, your second sentence is too redundant. 'who WAS a former Marine...' and 'who WAS a tired professor' and 'who WAS'... nhieu 'was' qua. Therefore, your first sentence is much much better and preferred!
@Ur_Love, there are people who are great at grammar but without a doubt, no one is perfect. Practice makes perfect. By the way, what is ritired? Typo phai khong?

Yes, sis. My typo. :d

[Jeedy]

@Aisti, great catch on the sour part. Yes, watermelons are SWEET, not sour. Your sentence definitely meets my expectation. Great job.

@Love, "Half a watermelon can be replaced a whole meal..." this sentence is grammatically incorrect. If you want to use 'can be replaced...' you can say 'a whole meal can be replaced by half a watermelon.'

"Because it is so juice"... juice is a noun/verb. Here we are describing a watermelon, so we should use an adjective, which is juicy. Overall, great try, UrLove! :)
