Okay, but remember to start with a capital letter.

Tuesdays not thesdays. Fine, or "On Tuesdays, Michal comes..."

I almost always watch...

Do you even go to the pool?

 BeginStudent wrote:

I don't do that .

There's no reason for you to not do this. It's no different from the Michal and Tuesdays. Try it again.

Doesn't shila ever watch TV?

Okay, but shouldn't Shila have a capital S?

We seldom are at home .

Okay.

Yes, if you correct "i" to "I" then either of those sentences are correct. You may want to put a comma after "Several times a week" if it comes at the beginning of a sentence.

"Yes, if you correct "i" to "I" then either of those sentences are correct. You may want to put a comma after "Several times a week" if it comes at the beginning of a sentence."

I dont understant what you mean in this "if you correct 'i' to 'I' then either ...  are the two sentences  correct?"

and would you could do other question i did  write ...

-- Something else , is it correct to say this sentence:" why is 'very often' in middle of the sentence?"

 Is The structure of the sentence is good ?

Thanks . i'm practicing to exam tommorw ... if you answer all question i'll happy .

If you change the lower-case i's to upper-case I's, then both versions of your sentence are correct.

Adverbs can often move around in a sentence. Often, adverbs can move around in a sentence. Adverbs often can move around in a sentence.

okay but  in the sentence :"Several times a week i play chess" -' i ' in the middle of the sentence not at begining ... why did you tell me to change to 'I'?

-Adverbs , you give me examples of  sentence without verb but if you have very cay you move around in a sentence?'

and can i said you :"

Clive i dont understand what's 'strong' word and you are exactly to this : Our teacher very often doesn't give us h.w. //*  but why very often in middle of sentence ?

"

Exactly is adverb and i put it without verb ... 

I need to say : are you exactly to this  Or you are exactly to this ?

Thanks.

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you are asking in some of your questions here.

I told you to make the i into I  because I is always capitalized in English.

You are exactly to this is not grammatical. I'm not sure what you meant to say.

I didn't give you any sentences without verbs.

Grammar Geek has answered your questions, but there seems to be a lot of confusion.  Here is a summary of correct sentences:


1.She does her h.w after dinner.(usually)

(my answer) 1.She usually does her homework after dinner.

------

Michal comes home at 6 o'clock.(on tuesdays)

Michal comes home at 6 o'clock on Tuesdays.

------

I watch the news at 8 o'clock.(almost always)

I almost always watch the news at 8 o'clock.

-----

Do you go to the pool?(even(Was the word supposed to be 'ever'?)

Do you ever go to the pool?

-----

I play chess.(several times a week)

I play chess several times a week.

-----

Doesn't shila watch TV?(ever)

Doesn't Shila ever watch TV?

-----

We are at home.(seldom)

We seldom are at home. OK, but you teacher will probably want this word order: "We are seldom at home."
