Hello Zara,

It's hard to tell you briefly how to improve your English. You say that you are learning from books. Are these grammar books? It would be better to go also to a good grammar class. Perhaps you are doing that already? It's a good idea to read English books that are not grammar books. it helps to get English 'into your head'. If possible, it would be good for you to speak English with native speakers. Do you have any chance to do that?

Get rid of - If I throw something into the garbage, I get rid of it. If I get rid of something, it means I no longer have it.

As far as I'm concerned - As far as I'm concerned, it's OK. This means I think it's OK, but other people may have other opinions.

Right away - I'll call him right away means I'll call him immediately.

Write again if you have any more questions, and we will try to help you.

Best wishes, Clive

Hi again, Zara,

Grammar is important, but don't worry about it every day so much that it makes you unhappy. Just learn a little bit, everyday. The Past Tense is a good place to start, because we talk about the past a lot.

Why don't you try to write some past tense sentences, and post them here? Then we can help you with them.

Your friend, Clive
