Today was a quiet day. I wanted to go shopping, but I couldn’t because I didn’t have much money with me.

💡 Quick Tips (A2–B1 level): • ✅ “Quiet day” → More natural than “a day with nothing in particular.” • ✅ “Didn’t have much money with me” → Say clearly what you didn’t have; “on hand” is less common at A2–B1 level. • ✅ “Couldn’t” → Correct for expressing something you weren’t able to do.
