Verb tenses
Hi :)
I have a question for you because i can't understand why i am wrong (I found it in a test)
-The car ..... start this morning, so I was late for work.
I chose "hadn't", but the right one was "wouldn't". (there was also "couldn't" among the other possibilities... but there wasn't "didn't")
Do you use would because it's something (i refer to "trying to start the car") you do every day? Like when you say "in the past i would wake up early" meaning that you were used to wake up early every day?
Thanks

hi, presentation and writing exercise:)
Hi guys, i'm new here and this is my first note. This serves as presentation and as writing exercise.
I'm an italian man who wants principally to improve his english skills, and later my spanish and french ones. I decided i wanted to learn other languages last year. Until that time, my only knowledge was based on what i studied at school (not so much, and only in english), where I took the b2 level exam about ten years ago, but i always knew i was not at that level.
So, i started watching movies and videos on internet only in english language.
Since that moment, my understanding capabilities have improved a lot! It's been a lot since the last time i watched an italian movie or whatever else.
I lack in many aspects, first of all is the grammar of course (as you can read :D), but i know i can make myself understood if i need to. Conversation is the thing i lack the most in, both written and spoken. Especially the second one. It's very rare for me to be able to practise it in my everyday life, not to say that it's almost impossible, and the few times i have the possibility to talk with someone, i realize that i'm really bad at it: slow, clumsy and hesitating.
I definately want to improve, i hope we can help each other achieving our goals!
I'm planning to live abroad for a period, UK or AUS, i'll see!
See ya :)
