A formal letter Hi! I'm trying to write a formal letter in English to express my dissatisfaction with a product that I bought online. But I have a doubt with this sentence: "...the main issue, for I wish to complain about, is that...". I don't know whether it's right or wrong, because for me it sounds good, but I also think that I'm missing something. So, is it correct? Or it could be better "...the main issue, for which I wish to complain about, is that..." Thanks in advance.

Another or other? Singular or plural? Hi! I always have the same doubt, although I correct the same mistake once and another, I usually make myself the same question. So the question is about some words like, for example, "people". This word means some persons, right? But if I want to use it in a sentence it goes with "other" or with "another"? I think it is "another people", but I don't know...

I have a doubt related to grammar in questions. If I write "Do you remember de last time we have met?", it is correct? Or I should write "Do you remember the last time we met?" Well, I´m a Spaniard and I just want to say "¿Te acuerdas de la última vez que quedamos? o ¿Te acuerdas de la última vez que nos vimos?. So I´m asking a question in the present but it is about a fact which happens in the past. The question is that I´m not sure if I have to use neither present simple (Do you remember...) and past simple (...the last time we met?) or present simple (Do you remember...) and present perfect (...we have met?). As you can see, I´m a bit confused. Therefore, I´ll be very thankful if someone could helps me. That´s all, and sorry for my English, because maybe my writting is wrong so it could be difficult to understand what I am asking for.

Could someone helps me, please? Hello! I'm trying to write an informal email in English and some doubts came to me. Firstly, I want to ask if this sentence is correct or not: "you said to me you'd travel abroad during a whole month". The issue is that I don't know if the word during is correct here, I mean, maybe the sentence is better in this way: "...abroad a whole month", without during. In second place, I' d like to know if "really" sounds more informal than "in truth". Finally, can you tell me if I'm right saying the sentences below in this way?: - I couldn't believe my eyes when he took my number out of the box! I was feeling absolutely delighted! - Besides, I think that taking this trip is a good way to improve our English. Well, the question is this. I'm not sure if in the last one "taking" is correct. For me, it doesn't sounds weird but I'm not sure... Perhaps, it doesn't fit and I just should have written " I think that take this trip", without the -ing form. Also , in the previous one, I mean in the first sentence of this two above, I don't know if "I was feeling absolutely delighted! " is correct. I think I have a mistake there, haven't I? I'm looking forward an answer if it's possible. I'll be very thankful if someone helps me with the questions I've asked (please give me an explanation about my mistakes, because I 'd like to understand it in order to don't have those mistakes another time) and with this entry too (I'm sure it's full of mistakes). That's all. Sorry for my awful English.

A very special day Last week, on Wednesday, I got up at 7:00 a.m. It was an special day for me, because it was my godson´s birthday. First of all, I called my sister-in-law in order to gave my congrulations for the first birthday of her son. I´d already bought the presents, so I got dressed and then I had breakfast, while I checked my mobile phone. At 9:00 a.m. I got my coat on, because it was a cold day, and left home. A few minutes later I was at the bus stop. Suddenly, Ana (an old classmate) came to me. At first, I hadn´t seen her but as she pronounced my name I saw her inmediately. We was just talking for a few minutes when the bus arrived. I got on it and I went until my godson´s house. Well, about Ana, I´d never got along well with her because she had been a very bad classmate whe we was at the university, because she´d usually tended to take me for granted and I hate this! Anyway, enough small talk, I was speaking about my godson´s birthday. So ten minutes later I got off the bus and I got across the road. Finally, I could see my godson and give him his presents, many toys for his bath times and a big monkey which had a hole in his hat where the baby can introduce some colorful balls and, then, the toy plays music and swith on different colour lights.

Can you correct my mistakes? I'm sure that I have a lot of things which I have to improve. I've never been in a cabin ( I don't know if it's the right word, I'm talking about these little and cozy houses which are normally in places like a mountain, for example ). Anyway, I would like to be in one of these cozy cabins. It would be so amazing... with a fireplace and in the winter. In addition, I would like to stay in a place where there are amounts of snow. At this moment I'm imagining me in, and I can see a beatiful and a big Christmas tree. These could be the perfect holidays with your friends, or your boyfriend, maybe. Couldn't it?

Halloween Hello Italkiers! I'm writing this entry in this notebook from Spain and lying in my bed. It is just midnight here, so the last day of this month begins. I was asking to me about how would be Halloween night in other countries like USA or UK, cause here in Spain isn't important. I mean, it isn't like Carnival, for instance. Do you understand me? So I would want to know...how is it actually? Are you afraid of people who dress that terrified costumes? Is it such as I could see in many movies? I mean, children go around their neighborhoods knocking all doors and asking neighbors "truck or treating", right? I'm looking forward to an answer for my questions, if somebody could answer to me. But, I wrote this entry especially in order to practise my writing in English. So if someone could rewiew it and correct my mistakes... Thank you very much.

Help me please. Do you know some free websites where I could watch TV series online with subtitles in English? I'm interesting in this serie: "Desperate housewifes". I want to see all episodes without time limit.

Hi! I have a doubt. Can someone tell me if this sentence is ok? Thank you. " I was going to go out with some friends, but I didn´t in the end. I had catch up on some sleep, though. I was in bed by 10.30! "
