Grammatically correct

If you say a sentence is grammatically correct, you mean there's no grammar mistake in it, but it may not be natural or impossible for native English speakers to make a sentence like that.

It's not so easy for a learner of English to make a sentence which is natural, even though they have learned English for such a long time/so long and have learned all the grammar rules. But, with more practice, you could possibly make a sentence which is grammatically correct. So you should try to learn some gr

TIME

       “What time is it?” We generally ask this question to assess which part of the day we are in, what has gone by or how much is left.  However,  ever we think about the question,  what “TIME is?” There may be a number of scientific or astronomical definitions of time.  But, to an individual’s relationship to time - time is life, drifting with every breath exhaled, towards its origin.  Fostering and nurturing, and the outcome is what we have achieved.

Now I am standing startled and bewilder

Another response to my blog "I am happy I forgot her"

"After our separation my friends who saw me said I didn't care.

They said to be with or without you, I will survive!

They said I, all my lifetime have never cried.

They said that I and you have never been matching for each other!

Becoming older is life's fact , when you see wrinkles developing on your skin and you are sometimes noticing and saying to oneself -i am becoming older day by day -some of the women's and even men try to look young by the new treatments we have available in our markets .

But,

we can't hide the fact with oneself , days were just decreasing and we sometimes just don't want to notice and cry on it as its a natural phenomenon which takes place in each and every person's life .

...the Eternity is full of solitudes". 

23481019120663.jpg

I re-read the book by Garcia Marquez "100 years of solitude" and the words that impressed me much were: 

“One minute of reconciliation is worth more than a whole life of friendship!” 

What if "Reconciliation" is seen as "truce" with yourself? How many of us are in the state of truce with our inner world? 

I always tried to be good for people around me, in most cases I did and said and acted the way people want me. And all that was because I needed their "appro

Imagine that you have a very difficult choice. From the one hand you`ve got what you dreamt about and it gives you the possibility to live good and as you want. And from the other side you need to face a lot of negative, meet sometimes not good mannered people with not very clean thoughts in their heads. I started thinking that I`m turning into them.

That black`s becoming white for me and what I thought bad is now "so-so" for me. I started thinking about leaving and finding what is right and what

     Speaking about religion in a so-called 'religious society' is no easy task. Therefore, one has to be prepared for some ready-made labels such as hypocrite, unbeliever, pagan, racist or even worse. Listening to a foreign radio station specialized in general knowledge and music, I found out that religion is also considered to be an indispensable part of the whole picture. Hence, one will come to listen to religious talks some of the time, if not most of the time. So, why is it all about relig

Honestly, I could rant and rave regarding the problems of our global issues. As a somewhat educated person, who's occasionally traveled and seen different cultures, watched the evening news, and experienced a bit of what life has to offer, standing on a soap box and picking just one subject would be too easy. My opinion through all of those collective experiences and memories is deeply mine and not something to be shared in a blog posting for English Club.

The Day I Met Grape

After talking about it for some times, finally, Grape sent me a message. She told me that she had booked her flight ticket and going to come to visit me. I was surprised, because I never thought that it's going to happen soon. Though like I said, we had been talking about it, but planning and realising it were two different matters altogether.

However, she told me that it's going to be a crazy trip because it's just going to be a day trip. I was delighted to meet her but at the same time a bit af
