DO LIKE

Dear Teachers,

1. "Hoping for the best, but do not let the results disappoint you"

- Is this natural?

2. When something bad happens to you whether it be an important life changing thing or sth that just really makes you feel bad.

- I think "is" is better than "be" here, right?

3. You say that you haven't been able to find a girlfriend until now, I think just because your long-sealed fate hasn't come yet.

- Is this natural?

4 I really do like this guy.

- I think "I really like this guy" or "I do like this guy" is better, right?

Thanks very much to Teachers,

Stevenukd.

Hi,

Just in terms of grammar rather than of meaning, you have some problems.

1. Say "Hope for the best, but do not let the results disappoint you"

-2. When something bad happens to you whether it be an important life changing thing or sth that just really makes you feel bad.
