Re: weekends
Hello, Rasha,
You unfortunately reminded me that it is the weekend, and I have about three loads of laundry to do tomorrow, my daughter’s bathroom needs to be cleaned. . .OH, and we are having people over for dinner tomorrow night, and I have promised to visit a friend. . .and I need to go grocery shopping.
I liked your linking phrases here: “to be fair,” “as a child,” etc. These indicate that you have a good understanding of more complicated grammar and that you can make complex sentences without much struggle.
Here are some notes:
two accumulated duties I have to do - “Accumulated” is not the right word here. You might say that you have tasks or duties that have stacked up during the week.
in the weekends – at or on the weekends, not in the weekends
I will go to spa – go to THE spa
As a child, I was enjoying the weekends much more – I ENJOYED. The past continuous is used for activities were going on at a certain time in the past, and, often, they were interrupted by something else, such as in “I was watching t.v. when the phone rang.”
we used to ride me and my siblings – my siblings and I used to ride
Keep practicing hard. You’re doing fine.
