Can any one help me to proofread and fix some grammar for me. I have serious problems with past tense verb. thank you. The time when I felt out of place, is when I came over to America. The first day I arrived here, it was cold and snowing. I didn’t have much of friends...

I think that's correct. The past perfect may have been a stylistic choice to emphasize the historic element. But I do think the simple past tense would work. English grammar can get a little squishy here and there (meaning that a lot of writers bend the rules for style), which can create a...

Thank you JTT, for your replya and your special advice on the English system we have. I am not a native speaker so I have been trying quite hard just to learn how English speaker think when they try to communicate with a Laguage full with rules.
