San Fermín The most importan Spanish festival and one of the most important festival in the world, the San Fermines from Pamplona's city, finished a week ago. This year I couldn't go to Pamplona to enjoy that incredible festival. Hope I could go next year. Although I don't like bullfighting, I like seeing that big crowd of people getting fun with the concerts in the street and so on. Fortunately, this year there has been almost any people injured by goring.

San Fermín

The most important Spanish festival and one of the most important festival in the world, the San Fermines which takes place in the city from Pamplona's city, finished a week ago. This year I couldn't go to Pamplona to enjoy this that incredible festival. I hope I can could go next year.
Although I don't like bullfighting, I like seeing the that big crowd of people getting excited because of fun with the concerts in the streets and so on.
Fortunately, this year there has been almost no any people that have been injured by goring.

 

Great! But I'm sorry to hear that you couldn't go.

-The word <em>that</em> is used for things that are <em>far away </em>- both physically in the real word and somewhat metaphorically. If I'm sitting at a table with my friend and there is a pencil next to him and there is another a metre away (and I want the one that is farther away) then when I ask him to pass me a pencil and he starts giving me the one closest, I would have to say "no, <em>that</em> one" indicating that I want the one further away. In the same way, you should use <em>this</em> and not <em>that</em> where I have changed it. Sorry for the clumsy explanation

-In slang it is acceptable to write <em>Hope I can go next year</em> as we often completly miss out the subject when writing in slang, but in proper writing you <em>cannot </em>do this. 

-<em>the </em>big crowd - the crowd that you know your readers will know about

-In English the phrase is <em>in the streets </em>(plural) meaning that something is happening in various locations around the town/city

 

Hope this helps!
