Hi, Bureda.
Tip is a word in english that means 'hint' or 'clue'. It is there to help you.

Does ‘ your next word has to be a subject!’ mean ‘I have to write a subject right after a full stop’?
|
A full stop indicates a completion of a sentence, therefore your next word/words after the full stop need to have a new subject. That is why after you complete a sentence and end it with a full stop you cannot use 'and' or' 'but'.

>When you're being descriptive you say it. When you're saying it casually you don't really need to say it
何かを記述するときにはthatを入れて、カジュアルに書 たり話したりするときはthatを入れない。I’ve got it!

Good job.

What’s the difference between ‘When you're being descriptive you say it.’ and ‘When you’re describing.’?
Is the first one formal? Can I say the second one?
|
No! they mean completely different things. When you're being descriptive means being informative and are including a lot of information in your sentence.
When you're describing means you are currently describing something. Describing means you're trying to be informative and descriptive means you are informative.

>Today I met this lovely person in JF Forums.
It sounds like the person is sitting next to you.
Why do you say ‘this’ instead of ‘a’?
|
Japanese uses 'this','that' and 'that over there' to describe position, but English does not. The position of a person or an object can by anywhere!
'This' is used to indicate you know what the person is or where he/she.
A correct term would be "Today I met a lovely person in JF Forums."

>After you get the results PM me back!
I don’t understand this.
Does it mean “I’ll PM you back after I finish reading and understanding your PM?
|
PM = Private Message. I sent you a fact sheet through private message.
Yes, it means PM me back after you finish reading it. Which you did.
What does “get the results” mean? |
When you finish and exam, what do you get?
What Echo means is:
If your sentence is in the past tense then you keep it in the past tense.
You can't write "Today I
had English and I did superbly well in the exam, I
am great"
Had = Past
Am = Present
the correct structure would be
"Today I
had English and I did superbly well in the exam, I
was great"
You must keep a sentence balanced to your subject and time/tense.
