As you all know my native language isn't English, I ask you:
What grammar errors do I make in this forum frequently?
Although it isn't a grammar
error per se, a native would most likely say "What grammar errors do I frequently make in this forum?".
I've managed to pass two times the German district contest on the second place (in school contest of course first place, weird ).
"I've managed to come second in the German district contest twice", or
"I've managed to twice come second in the German district contest", or if you want something similar to your original sentence structure:
"I've managed to pass
twice the German district contest
in second place (first place in the school contest though - weird!).[/quote]
The phrase in parantheses (brackets) really needed re-structuring to sound native.
would be a better way of putting it. It flows more, sounds more natural. I assume it's because in your native language the sentence structure is completely different
So, be as harsh as you can get,
"So, be as harsh as you can,"
and count these grammar errors
While "these" may be correct technically, an English speaker would most likely say "my".
(well, recap -or how do you say that)
Recap is correct.
Your English is very good - any English speaker would understand you no problems, I'm only being picky since you asked me to! Most of the things I've picked up on aren't really
errors, as I said at the start just things which would stand out to a native speaker as being "strange" - sentence structure being the main culprit.
