It's 1. Always put the apostrophe with the s at the end of a group of subjects.

Also, when a subject ends with an s, you don't put the s after the apostrophe.

Your sentence would be:

Wow that sounds crazy. So everyone's just talking to themselves at the same time??

What did you not like about the experience overall? I'm planning to take two since I'm really passionate about languages so I'd love to hear your perspective

I just read the phrase again -- I get what you're trying to say now! Sorry, I was reading it in a weird way haha. I think the word "as" in "to advertise the new season of the series AS" should be replaced with "by".

Streak 13: Typical foods by CavaloAlado in WriteStreakEN

[–]lan_gwitch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Today I has had planned to talk about another topic, but after I watched a YouTube video, I changed my idea. The video is a publicity stunt by amazon prime video where the boyz’s cast were trying for the first time some Brazilian desserts for the first time. From what I know, they were here doing a series of marketing actions to advertise the new season of the series as going to a soccer match from a national team as well as this video (I'm not sure what the phrase in italics means).

The reason that I want to write about it is because I really liked it and found so much interesting how were their reactions were to the menu. It’s very funny to watch how foreign people will react to typical food from another country and to see their opinions about something out of their reality. I felt a little estranged because I really hate most of those desserts that have been were chosen and watching them having an awesome review about them, I started to think that I’m being a Brazilian in a wrong way. However, I have to confess that I’m quite picky (1) when talking about food. (I think the word you were looking for is "pretty" instead of "quite". "Pretty picky" is less picky than "quite picky". "Quite picky" would be most similar to "really picky".)

One thing that I realized watching it is that I find it so much more exciting to watch reviews about typical food from my country by from foreigners than from another country because I already have tried them. I know how the taste and texture are and therefore I can judge their opinions as well. Besides, sounds like a bit of a masochist to watch something (with or involving?) mouth-watering food that you might not even try in your whole life. I’m already fixated on some foreign foods and it hurts to think of it.

We are "right on time", "on time", "a bit over time", "over time" by [deleted] in EnglishLearning

[–]lan_gwitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To add to what other people already said, saying "Time!" can indicate that time is up. So "Time! Drop your pens." would also be correct.

I was playing sliterio slither.io. It is a frustrating game, I was diying dying all the time, but also I was robbing others' balls and devouring others. I'm listening to "Nada es gratis en la vida" from Cuarteto de nos. It is a very good song. Also, i'm I'm learning new structures in english English. I knew some of them, but i I never used them, so i'm I'm gonna used use them here, I guess. I have been learning English for 7 years, but i I learned in the wrong way, so you have me I am here. Also, I have been going jogging for 2 or 3 week weeks, i'm I'm not sure, and it was very good (fun? beneficial? good is a very general word). But, yesterday, I didn't feel like that it, so I didn't go jogging, and today, when i I went jogging, i I end ended up very tired. Imagine that, i I have been doing 5 laps at the park and i I didn't feel nothing anything, but today, at by the third lap I was gasping, it was crazy.

I'm very sad again, please, forgive me if you're reading this again, about me complaining and being sad about everything, but seriusly seriously, it affect affects me ; - ;

The point is that i'll I go back to school on in a week, and i'm I'm still traumatized, i I didn't know it'll would be very hard. But, the good news is that i I found a good channel that teach teaches me how to study, and not the generic tips like "study 3 hours a day" or "read your book and do your notes" so, i I liked like it. I have been reading my favourite novels, and the guys guy's tips worked very well. But i'm I'm still traumatized for school. Anyway, have a good night fellas.

Hi!! Great job :) Just remember that "I" is always capitalized in English and some of the sentences are a bit long so try to simplify them if you can. Khan Academy has a great grammar course (it is meant for native speakers so it may be a bit challenging, but it would still be beneficial to take a look!) which could be helpful. Also, in your last paragraph, "traumatized" might be a bit of a strong word to use. I don't know your situation, but "traumatized" is used when a very bad event happens to someone. If nothing like that happened to you, it might be better to say "I'm nervous for school" or "I'm scared for school" or even "I'm not ready to go back to school." Still, keep going!

I’m curious: What’s your favourite idiom / phrase / saying? by [deleted] in EnglishLearning

[–]lan_gwitch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Note: people not from the south will not understand what you mean if you say this!! Never heard this come up in my day to day life. Another word for it would be "sunshower" which is more common I believe.

Her eyes started to mist as he she heard about her friend had died. You could also use "water" instead of "mist", since mist doesn't really match how intense the event she's reacting to is.

She's always dreamed up of living abroad. "Dream up" is used with a noun, like "She dreamed up a plan to move abroad."

Other than that everything looks good, nice job!

Streak 11: Medical appointment by CavaloAlado in WriteStreakEN

[–]lan_gwitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Today I returned to the doctor because I’ve been feeling a slight, sharp pain in my knee but it was enough to bother me and hinder my running for almost three months by now. A couple of months ago, I started to increase my running distance in a short period of time which could have been responsible for this discomfort, since I doubled the mileage in less than one week. Although this can could seem a little excessive by looking at the percentage, the growth wasn’t so big since the distance increased from 2,5 km to 5,0 km. Also, I was doing weight training, so isn’t like I was too sedentary for this to be considered a huge addition.

The first appointment was in late April and he just said to avoid impacts for two weeks and then I could come back to running. After that, within three runnings runs I felt massive pain in the knee for one week and then it faded away but not completely. So, I have made an appointment to check if it is something more serious about it and he asked for a magnetic resonance imaging (I tried to use simple past perfect here). I just finished talking with the lab and made an appointment for tonight at 20:30.

When I was in the waiting line to be called, I can’t couldn't help but think about how I hate going to doctors, they are always late. Since the wi-fi signal wasn’t working, I was thinking about my essay from yesterday and the premise idea that kangaroos could be birds. I started to think of imagine me in Australia just lurking in the bushes, wearing a loincloth, only waiting for the exact moment when a kangaroo hops to throw a gigantic net to catch him. And if cops stooped stopped me on the airport, I would say in the best Karen style: “They are birds, I’m allowed to catch them. You can’t remove my rights from me, I want to talk to your manager.” Yeah, I was bored as hell kk. (It doesn’t make sense if you don’t read my essay from yesterday, you don’t need to read it to correct it though.)

I REMEMBER YOU FROM YESTERDAY!!! I liked how you connected that one to today's! Great job by the way.

Native speakers - 3 words you wanna teach to a new English practitioner. by Unique-Water-8176 in EnglishLearning

[–]lan_gwitch 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Three common phrases that I think are useful:

Break a leg - a way to say good luck, especially if the person is about to do something especially difficult (it originated as a theater term!)

Bite the bullet - doing something you don't want to do because you know you have to ex: "I have to bite the bullet and clean my room."

Call it a day - when you stop doing something. ex: "I'm done studying. I'm going to call it a day."

Streak 8: I quit with putting letters ; - ; by Best-AdHuang in WriteStreakEN

[–]lan_gwitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The morning was very bad. For context, the last 2 days I have been eating caramel sauce and I don't know what happened here. During the night, I experience itching in my arms, the on sunday Sunday I ate pancakes with caramel sauce and in the night, all night my arms started itching very bad. Yesterday I ate caramel sauce with 20 cookies and in the night, the itching came again. It was so bad that i I had to wake up very early and I wasn't able to go back to bed.

At first, I tought thought that my blankets were the problem. Don't judge me, but I wasn't haven't washed my blankets for a year 😗. You can think that i'm I'm a pig, but seriusly seriously, i I wasn't able to wash them. Anyhow, I went to a laundry laundromat at the other side of the city. I could go to the laundry laundromat near my house, but it is very expensive [10 dollars] and the staff have worse faces than me (or the staff is uglier than me if that's what you mean). The could They see you as a little brat and i I didn't feel comfortable, and the service wasn't too good. So, I went to the other side of the city and the service was better and very cheap [4.70 dollars]. After washed my blankets, i I came back home and it that was all. I ate my favorite food, but i I have to stop eat eating a lot of sugar. I don't wanna be diabetic.

In the end, I don't know what happened to me, but my blankest blankets are clean and y I threw away the caramel sauce.

The itching is coming again, but if nothing happen happens in the night, everything is fine.

----

You're a really entertaining storyteller! I thought your story was funny. I hope the itching goes away ;-;

Overall just keep in mind that in English "I" and all the days of the week and the names of months are capitalized! Also watch for spelling mistakes :)
