Grammar

With all names, use a capital/uppercase letter.
e.g. Chicago
e.g. China
e.g. Yim

When you have to verbs together, or when one verb is the reason for another, you don’t put it in the past.
e.g. I am going to eat (NOT: I was going to ate)
e.g. I went to see the Buddha.

I + used + WeChat +  to tell my best friend + when I was done with class.
Subject + Verb + Object + Why? + What?
— All sentences will be like this one.

Use “the” when we know what thing it is, when there is one.
e.g. The Chinese Government
e.g. I brought the soccer ball (we know which one, the one I have)
BUT, don’t use it with people’s names, or place names
e.g. Yim (NOT, the Yim)
e.g. Qingdao (NOT, the Qingdao)
Use “a” to talk about one thing, but where we don’t which one, or it is not important; one thing out of many.
e.g. I bought a water bottle.
e.g. He is a policeman.

When you describe something, use “isn’t” with adjectives, and “can’t” with verbs.
e.g. I can’t read Chinese.
e.g. He isn’t Chinese.

He vs. him; she vs. her; I vs. me – subject vs. object

On Sunday, I went to a place near Jing’an Temple to learn about 40min English. The class was 40 minutes. I used WeChat chatted with my best friend to tell my best friend him when I was done after with class. We agreed to wait at West Nanjing Road Exit 2. He is an electrical-mechanical engineer. He feels that his look isn’t eye-catching, so he wanna change his image. I went shopping with him, and he bought two pants and a jacket.　The trouble is, his pants size didn’t fit him, so we needed to wait 1 hour until the pants cut out done were fixed. During this hour we ate dinner in a nearby the store.
