Grammar

I speak English it’s not good – I don’t speak English well
— With a negative sentence (using “not”) we also use “do”
— When we want to describe a verb, we want an adverb

We use the present to talk about what happens usually, or in general
e.g. I eat lunch in the university dining hall (usually, regularly, often)
e.g. I don’t drink coffee, I drink tea (I usually don’t drink coffee, but I often drink tea)

We use “a” or “an” to mean one example from a group
e.g. This is an American company (one of many American companies)
e.g. This is a nice pair of shoes (one of many nice pairs of shoes)

I see this I will sleep – When I see this I go to / fall sleep

Didn’t understand his means – Didn’t understand what he meant / Couldn’t understand what he said

I worked in a luxury store, American company/brand. It’s called Ralph Lauren. I worked operations store, for example the light is broke, tell me, I will call to office. Arrived many big boxes, many clothes in the box, tell me. I will sent email to office. Many many things, little things. You say things, I understand anything. But I can’t say I think. I don’t know how to say.
