I need someone to have a look at my sentences. A teacher of ours wanted us to write a letter. He corrected the mistakes, but didn’t write down what exactly the mistake was. So we’re to check our own mistakes… but sometimes I didn’t know if I corrected them properly or wrong again.
I wrote in such a system:
“My first and wrong sentence.”
- “My second and hopefully right sentence.”
So could someone help me please?
Thanks in advance!
“Hey there”
- “Hi there”
“Did somebody tell you, that…”
- “Have someone told you, that…”
“I’m starting with my A-Levels.”
- “I’m starting my A-levels.”
“… in which I’ll be attending the A-Level courses.”
- “…in which I’ll be attending A-Level courses.”
“Right know, I’m kinda nervous”
- “Right know, I’m sort of/kind of nervous.” (which one is right/better?)
“It might turn out as advantage.”
- “It might turn out as an advantage.”
“…because there’s English Language everywhere!”
- “…because there is English everywhere!”

“Being able to use English in daily routine offers a wide range of opportunities.”
- Honestly, I don’t know what’s my mistake in here.”
“Most of the movies I watch are being dubbed so badly.”
- Neither I know why ‘being dubbed’ is wrong… might someone care to explain to me?
By the way: I’m confused somehow, since my teacher corrected “A-Levels” into “A-levels”, but in another sentences, he didn’t. Is there a difference that – due to the context – I must choose either “A-Level” or “A-level”?
As I said: thanks in advance!

- “My second, and hopefully right sentence.”
- “Hi there.”
- “Has someone told you that…”
- “I’m starting my A-levels.”
- “…in which I’ll be attending A-Level courses.”
- “Right now, I’m kind of nervous.”
- “It might turn out to be an advantage.”
- “…because English is used everywhere!”
“Being able to use English in my daily routine will offer a wide range of opportunities.”
“Most of the movies I watch are dubbed very badly.”
Your sentences were all a little bit off, but quite understandable to any English speaker. I made some edits to make them all acceptable. You used a couple of the wrong words in a few places, and missed a few connecting prepositions, but otherwise not bad at all for a non-native speaker.
"Being dubbed" is incorrect because the 'being' means that the dubbing is taking place in the present. The movies, by the time you watch them, have already been dubbed, and so the movies "are dubbed" and not "being dubbed." "Being dubbed" might only apply if you are discussing the process of dubbing films as an ongoing thing.

hi there
has someone told you, that
i'm starting my level A
right now, i'm a little nervous
it might turn out to my advantage
because the English language is everywhere
being able to use English in my daily routine offers a wide range of possibilities
most of the movies i watch are poorly dubbed - being is a present tense verb. the movies were not being dubbed while you wrote the sentence....
not that i know of...actually, level A would be best unless A-level is the title of the course you are taking
good luck

I also used to get that much homework. Right now I only have 3 lessons a week but usually a test of german sentences on tuesday, a grammar exercise for wednesday and an exam to prepare ourselves on thursday. it is a lot, but by doing it a lot you learn the best. I know from experience(got an A on my IGCSE for german) and hey sometimes I even have 3 german tests in one week (every lesson one), so really your case is still quite okay. believe me, once you are at a more advanced level it will be easier because you wont have to study words anymore (probably sentences but I don't find that to bad because you use your grammar knowledge in sentences). good luck and keep the hard work up. Eventually you'll see its worth it
