Jen and Luna (A story I just made up to help remembering the words I learned) I just started watching movies and TV series without subtitle lately, yesterday I watched a comedy called ‘The Exes’. It was all right and I find myself 9 words short of understanding the whole show. They are shove over, swap, assortment, crumble, crawl, tickle, hooks, intervention, braid each other’s hair. I’ll try to make up a little story with these 9 words, so it might help me to remember it all. And also, since I’m unfamiliar with these words, tell me if I used it in a wrong way. Ok, here it goes. Jen and Luna are 2 girls grew up together, ever since they were little, they played together, they braid each other’s hair, they went shopping together and helped each other with the straps and hooks when buying dresses, they love dresses just like every little girl do. They were obsessed with assortment of clothes on display in the shopping mall that they used to spend hours in it. Jen met this man Ted at the age of 26, they fell in love very soon and swapped their rings and vows, they were married. Everyone was happy for them except Luna, she was crumbled, in a way she doesn’t even know why. Jen was not happily married either, ever since she got married, she felt there was something wrong, she doesn’t share much in common with Ted, he was a couch potato the whole time and whenever Jen wants to watch the TV, too, he shove over, they never actually talk. Soon she started arguing with Ted. Their marriage was on the edge of falling apart, at first there was intervention by relatives and friends, but it didn’t work, they had a divorce. One day after the divorce, Jen crawl out of her bed late in the morning, she remembered Luna, the time she came to her bed and tickled her, then they will laugh together, then she realized of all the time she was in love with Luna, and they are both lesbians.:0)))))))

[1] 'Crumble' is a verb, and 'crumbled' is its past tense.
"She would crumble under the strain."
"She crumbed under the strain."

 

Your writing is very good. There were two common problems in this story. First was not using past tense. Second was the use of "run on sentences". (Please tell me if you cannot find information about "run on sentences.) Other than those mistakes, you did very well to incorporate the new words into a story.
