Alex: He worked for only 1 second and he got tired, so he rested for million years.
Correct: He worked for only a second and he got tired, so he rested for a million years.
Alex: He went to trial and he was really nervous.
Correct: He went to a trial and he was really nervous.
Explanation: ARTICLES are really important in your sentences. They emphasize the subject or the direct object.
REMINDERS: Alex, your sentence constructions are really good but at the same time, you also need to be aware of how you're going to be more responsible in using the given words in an appropriate manner. For an example:
Alex: He ate his dog for breakfast.
- For this sentence, it is grammatically correct. But in the sense, it is a bit morbid (unpleasant subjects, especially death) for someone to eat a dog for breakfast so, instead of expressing situations like this, you can have another idea or more suitable usage of the word breakfast like the following sentence:
** My mom is really good at cooking breakfast meals.
** American breakfast is all but eggs, bacon and bread.
Thank you for submitting your homework! You're fluent now, Alex but you have to keep in mind that being fluent also comes with a responsibility that speaking in English and other language needs to show good manners and pleasant meanings. Be careful! See you on Wednesday! :)
