Hello Now my grammar isn't excellent, but I'll help you as best as I can..

here they r a few:

is this sentense right:
1, "Holding himself back from the car"
(Like criminals do when police offers want to push them into the car"

Yes :yes:


2, please tell me better verb that means "to make people go away"

I'm not sure whether there actually is a word for that, or perhaps.. "he/she wants/wishes to be alone"??


3, Grammer:
"I always have showed how hapy i was/am to meet you"
(which one is correct or mayeb none!)

"I have always shown how happy I am to meet you" (talking with regards to past tense). Or "I am always happy to meet you" (present tense).


4, Can i say, "to coduct someone to have a seat on the chair in the middle of the room"

I'm not quite sure what you mean here, do you mean "instruct/ask?"


5, "to remain indifferent against that nice show of emotion"
is it right or wrong?

That is correct :yes: "To remain indifferent against the pleasant show of emotion".

Please someone correct me if I'm wrong!! I thought it would be more with reference to spelling.. I'm good at spelling, but am not so good at my own grammar and 'big' words :lol:

 

[MarriedtoMichaelinmyheart]

[MarriedtoMichaelinmyheart]

Yes it is

ur intuition as a person whose mother tongue is english is enough to tell u if the sentences make sence, or not like u talk everyday in ur life. when u comminicate, do u have problem with grammer? do u look up words in dictionary? u simply talk cause u have learned it as ur native languege.

these questions r as simply as u talk with people everyday.
i simply need to know if they make sense in English. if the words r put in right order, if the choice of word is right.

that's it.


Well then, now i trust ur answers r 100% right. a native speaker of English, can never make mistake :yes:

 

[swirly]

Then yes they are correct, that is how I would speak it in every day life Let us know if you need any more help!

 

[MarriedtoMichaelinmyheart]

:yes:

if u do noty mind, there r a few more...

"it caused her terrible troubles"

"she replied without concerning who she was talking" (i mean she did not pay attention to whom she was tlaking to)

"the highest number he could think of was 100!"

" the fmaily rued their daughter loss"

"he kindly washed her hands and requested her to wash up the foam with water"



"she fully trusted the guy was not an animal-eater"

"she pretended indifferece" or i must say, "she pretended that she was indifferent"

 

[swirly]

:yes:

if u do noty mind, there r a few more...

"it caused her terrible troubles"

I think this would be "It caused her terrible problems"

"she replied without concerning who she was talking" (i mean she did not pay attention to whom she was tlaking to)

You said it "She did not pay attention to whom she was talking to" sounds right. Or "she replied, not paying attention to who she was talking to".

"the highest number he could think of was 100!"

:yes:

" the fmaily rued their daughter loss"

"The family mourned their daughter's loss?" (Talking about the family if they had lost their daughter)

"he kindly washed her hands and requested her to wash up the foam with water"

I'm not sure what context this is used in.. Is he asking her to wash the rest of the soap from her hands?



"she fully trusted the guy was not an animal-eater"

"She completely/fully trusted that the man/guy was not a meat-eater.. ??"

"she pretended indifferece" or i must say, "she pretended that she was indifferent"

The second sentence is better :yes: "She pretended that she was indifferent"

Hope this is okay

 

[MarriedtoMichaelinmyheart]

thank u :flowers:

" the fmaily rued their daughter loss"

"The family mourned their daughter's loss?" (Talking about the family if they had lost their daughter)

u see, this is about a family, who lost their daughter, but never looked for (she was not dead but had scaped home).
later when the parents became old, they rued her loss and regreted that she was no longer with them.
can i use "rue" or "remose" here

"he kindly washed her hands and requested her to wash up the foam with water"
I'm not sure what context this is used in.. Is he asking her to wash the rest of the soap from her hands?

it is this: he washed the little girl's hands, and asked her to wash the foams on her hands with water.

"she fully trusted the guy was not an animal-eater"

"She completely/fully trusted that the man/guy was not a meat-eater.. ??"

i have used "trust" instead of, "believed and had no doubt" is it correct?

Yes, you can use "rued" or "felt remorse for"- they mean the same thing

it is this: he washed the little girl's hands, and asked her to wash the foams on her hands with water.

or, "he washed the little girl's hands, and asked her to rinse the soap from her hands with water"

i have used "trust" instead of, "believed and had no doubt" is it correct

yes, "trusted" means the same thing in this context. She's trusting and believing that the man does not eat meat.

Is it correct to say "get compunction" like "he got compunction" instead of "have compunction" - the original sentence is, "if she revealed the truth, he would get compunction"


can i say "he threw a finishing tent over/on them" or can i say, "fastened the kids with a finishing tent" (like behind the sence of Scream!)

You may find this book helpful:

http://www.amazon.com/Writers-Reference-Diana-Hacker/dp/0312450257

The handbook contains all of the English grammatical rules, and it also supplies examples. It will assist you in learning the various verb tenses, subject/verb agreement, proper punctuation, avoiding fragmented sentences, and other tips and rules to achieving clear, concise writing.

I bought the book years ago in college (an older edition) and still own it and refer to it.

And yes, English is my native tongue; I used to tutor the subject and later taught it. Unfortunately though being born here does not equate to effective language skills for all pupils. . . . I no longer teach but still find the book helpful.
