Please help me to read this English sentence:

was changed to

"They were not be able to communicate these difficulties to the teacher because they didn’t know what to say in English."

The beginning of this sentence should be
"They were not able to..."
or if you wanted to right in future tense it would be
"They would not be able to..."
I am Kind of surprised Koir missed that.

In my country we use to say "Guten Appetit" and afterwards "Es hat gut geschmeckt" It´s the same meaning as "Enjoy your meal" before eating and afterwards "It was delicious".
What do you think?

And thus you see the errors creep in when longer compositions are revised. Yes, remove "be" from the revised sentence. It should read:

"They were not able to communicate these difficulties to the teacher because they didn’t know what to say in English."

Hi, Decen.

Thank you for correcting!

Hi.
Could you correct my English?


It’s Golden Week here. (Today is May 5th)
Golden Week refers to the period from April 29th to May 5th when there are four national holidays. Many people go out for a trip during the term. You might know that many Japanese tourists appear in your countries in the week every year.
I went to a beach and gathered clams. Have you ever done this? Digging clams with a small rake.
I’ve got a bucket of clams, and made a rice dish with them. I really enjoyed.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Other than that, this is pretty good! Just make sure to always indicate a noun in some way in which you are applying the verb to, in this case, saying WHAT you enjoyed, even if you use a nondirect noun like "it". And the above was informational! Thank you for the facts!

**** To me this sentence reads correctly, but it is what we call a 'fragment'. You could try making it more explanatory. "You dig up the clams with a small rake." or "You use a small rake to dig up the clams".

The country/countries thing is complicated. I'm not sure 'countries' is ~incorrect~ but to me 'country' sounds more natural. The best way I can thin to describe it is that although the tourists might go to ~many~ different countries, the 'you' you are addressing seems to be singular. That is, it's like you're talking to one person, who of course, can only live in one country at a time. However, even if we're talking to more than one person, you still hear people use plurals like this when they are directly addressing a crowd using 'you'. Politicians do it a lot because it sounds like you're considering each person individually, even if they're part of a big group.

hope that's not too confusing!

Most of the revisions made were the same as the other two responses. The major revision done was with the sentence fragment about digging clams. I combined the two sentences together as a questioning statement that would make the reader think about doing the action themselves if they hadn't done so in the past.

Hope that is of some help, Yuri!

Hi, manganimefan.
Thank you!
Yes, I should have written “it” at the end of the sentence.
I will try not to forget it from now on.
Thank you again!
