Hello,
Could you correct these sentences, please?
At what time/what time/ when do you usually finish work?(What is the difference between; 'when', 'at what time,' and 'what time'?)
Do you live far from your office? No, I live close to/near to it and I usually walk there/go there on foot.
"I am learning German only."
"When do you have your lessons?"
"We have lessons on Monday, on Wednesday, and on Friday evening." (Are the last two 'on's optional?)
"How long does your lesson last?''
It last for two hours/two hours."
"What do you do at home? What are you doing at home?"(I think 'what are you doing' can't be used here.)
"When I come home I usually read magazines and do my homework. Sometimes I write letters to my friends. I receive/get many letters from them and always answer them."
"Who translates articles from/of foreign magazines in your office? Emma does".
How well does he speak these languages?(English and French)
Who translates letters from German? I do.
My sister works very much/a lot.
Does he work very much?
We read very much, but we write very little in class.
Thanks

what time = refering to time-clock.
- What time do you play tennis ?,at 6 pm on sundays.
when = refering to days,months,years...etcWhen is your birthday ?, the next wednesday. I am learning only Greman.Generally,"only" is placed just before the word it modifies. it depends on whether the action is ongoing or not.
What are you doing at home ? can mean that you don't expect that person to be at home.
what do you do at home?,I don't know but it seems incorrect to me. Both of them are correct,but "get" is most used. I think the question is correct . Other answers are correct.
Since you didn't say anything about 'at what time' I assume you never use it do you?
Thanks
I've looked for it and it's shown that both are correct. Also, I go there on foot or walk are the same.
I drive to the office or I go by car to the office are the same too. I didn't say anything because I remember my teacher said one day that we no longer say "at what time" because it's - according to her- was an old usage.But rather what time .
