alc, Seriously and honestly, I have never seen any learner approach learning English quite the way you do. What you are doing is mimicking speech patterns without understanding what is correct and natural, and incidentally, you are not paying attentions to your common mistakes , despite repeated advices offered to you. It's very difficult to work with your sentences as they are uniquely styled.
