Guitar Covers
I gave you a text last class . Remember? Yeah, I do. Well then , tell us about it/ talk about it by the blackboard. Or you may do it sitting down where you are. We painted the container at/on the back of the car . My bro undid or loosened the bolts and I did them up, replacing them with new ones. I would be grateful if you Italki teachers helped me with this. I always put a lot of question on here and you say what I say is almost 97 % percent correct most of the time. It is just my punctuation problem that has the remaining 3 percent. I need your advice . I can translate the second I hear and I cant describe anything in my head . I try to talk to myself all day long so that what I have learned over the past 5 years gets internalised but I feel like I repeat myself a lot , like I say a sentence and I say it over and over again wondering if it makes sense . Please answer my first two questions and provide your advice. Thank you

Hi! I have made some adjustments to be a bit more grammatically correct, although, as natives, we often shorten sentences and some of your shortened versions would be acceptable: FIRST TEXT: I gave you  a text in the last lesson, remember? Yeah, I do. Well then, tell us about it/talk about it standing at the front of the class/standing next to the blackboard. You may also do it sitting down where you are. > I've clarified "standing next to" the blackboard, as when you only use "by" it can be a bit confusing for non-natives - whether you mean "standing by the blackboard" or "using the blackboard to explain". NEXT TEXT: We painted the container on the back of the car (this means that the container was painted while physically on the back of a car - like a pickup truck). We painted the container at the back of the car (this means that the container was painted while on the ground near the back of the car) My brother loosened the bolts, replacing them with new ones, and then I tightened them. > I changed the order of this sentence to be chronological, it is confusing to say that you loosened them, then tightened them, and then replaced them. I hope this helps!
