could you please check my grammar, thx.?

Question

Checking my grammar is a tad boring, but if you want to kill the time, just chek it. feel free

In my opinion, both Elizabeth and Darcy are selfish. In the beginning, they only think about themselves instead of thinking in the others' shoes. This kind of behavior is unwise. I suppose that being over-proud is the behavior of arrogance, and being arrogant is a very superficial behavior, especially when your pride harms others' self-esteem. We can be very confident, but we don't have to too over-proud. Also, we don't have to be over-modest. If what we do is over extreme, we will look for trouble. Hence, it's good for people to reach the golden mean.

Answer 1

God, where do I start? Basically every sentence is a mess.
Let's start again. . .

In my opinion Elizabeth and Darcy are both selfish. (Loose "In the beginning", this implies that you are going to finish with, "and in the end they. . .", and you don't go anywhere with it.) They only think of themselves and never look at things from anyone else's perspective. Their behavior is unkind and demeaning to others. They damage the self-esteem of others with their arrogance. One can show self-confidence without being overbearing or cruel. Nor does that mean we should subjugate ourselves to the will of another. It has been said that pride goeth before a fall and therefore applying the golden rule which is, do unto others as you would have done unto you, is the most honorable course of action.

Answer 2

here are my changes

In my opinion, both Elizabeth and Darcy are selfish. In the beginning, they thought about themselves instead of thinking in others' shoes. This kind of behavior is unwise. I suppose being too proud is a behavior of arrogance and being arrogant is a very superficial behavior, especially when your pride harms others' self-esteem. We can be very confident, but we should not be too proud. Also, we don't have to be over-modest. whatever we do is extreme, we will look for trouble. Hence, it's good for people to reach the golden mean

Answer 3

In the beginning, they only thought about themselves instead of putting themselves in other's shoes ( or in each other's shoes). ...being overly proud is a sign of arrogance and being arrogant is very superficial behavior... We can be confident (take out the comma) but we don't have to be overly proud. don't have to be overly modest either.(leave out the Also at the start). If what we do is overly extreme, we are asking for trouble. Hence, it's best for people to find a happy mediam. (don't use golden)

Answer 4

they only think about themselves, instead of trying to put themselves in the others' shoes.


that's the one suggestion I have, except for the fact that I've read this book about 20 times, and I totally disagree with you. Darcy's behavior was COMPLETELY reprehensible on his first meeting with Elizabeth, and it's only later in the book, when he loves Elizabeth that he tries to be a better, less arrogant person. Had he not met Elizabeth, he would have continued with his arrogance. Did you know out of all of Jane Austen's characters, that this is the one that is supposedly most like her?

Answer 5

instead of putting themselves in the others shoes. Or only think about themselves and not others. we don't have to be over proud. over modest,we are looking for trouble. I am not sure what you mean by the last sentence. Every thing else seems to be okay.

Answer 6

try this: From delight and Prejudice and my own adventure, i do not ignore that folk can fee themselves extremely and picture they're unusual, yet they must be slightly humble and pleasant or their vanity will supply upward thrust to parents's hatred. interior a similar way, we do not might want to be aggravated merely because we don't like human beings's techniques. when we've prejudice, we received't choose issues quite and we received't see issues in attitude. for this reason, we'd want to consistently study a thanks to ascertain issues in diverse lighting fixtures so as that we are going to in no way be at a loss in distinguishing good from incorrect. what's extra, we'd want to comprehend someone by having alongside quite than judging someone by the first impact. First paragraph a million) do not use a comma earlier a conjunction (or) till it truly is utilized in a itemizing of things. 2) vanity received't supply upward thrust to absolutely everyone's hatred, really human beings's hatred. 3) contained in the merely good sentence, you've violated a rule noted as pronoun settlement - you turn lower to and fro between "we" and "you." 2d paragraph: a million) contained in the first sentence, i imagine you meant we received't choose issues in fairness (or quite), not that we are able to choose them. 2) The word is "be at a loss" not "at a loss." 3) frequently even as "distinguishing" is used, the preposition "from" is used with it. 4) contained in the merely good sentence, you do not use parallel structure. which means once you employ a verb in a unmarried form (to that end the "-ing" ending (getting)), you should proceed to apply that sort of the verb throughout the sentence (not change to the "to" form, as in "to judge"). something of the corrections were merely idioms and syntax - stuff that you'll %. up as you change into extra familiar with English. This change into very strong - i'm very inspired!

Answer 7

" in the others' shoes." ----> "eachother's shoes"

"We can be very confident, but we don't have to too over-proud. " --> "We can be very confident, but we don't have to be over-proud."

I suggest using a different word than 'over-proud'... I'm not even sure if that's a word. Same with over-modest.

" over extreme" doesn't grammatically work. Try using other words than over.

Answer 8

Don't use over too much it makes the thing your'e writing sound boring.

Answer 9

Dang your lazy! I got enough work checking my own grammar. Get busy! *cracks whip*

Answer 10

Looks good... just change this...
We can be very confident, but we don't have to too over-proud.

We can be very confident, but we don't have to BE over-proud.
or too proud.

You choose.
