Dear Torsten!
How are you?
Thank you very much for lesson 4.
I listened the audio recording, I did the test( I made 3 mistakes) and I studied the personal pronouns.
I read the explanations about the differences between "finish and end".In some cases it's hard to realize which verb we have to use. This, isn't totally clear for me.
I'm going on studing.
Thank you very much and have a nice week!
You can correct me if it is necessary.
Best regards

Dear Mr. Torsten Daerr

Thank you very much for your mail on English Lesson 4. Thanks for your nice teaching, explanation and everything. I understand more about the possessive adjective. It is really a practical class.

I attended the test ‘end & finish’ . I got only eight correct answers out of ten. There was bit confusion. The examples were very good. I am learning properly.

Now I am looking forward to receive English Lesson 5.

Many thanks

Dear Sir,

The test FINISh VS END was very good. I did this test and made three mistakes. This test is not difficult but such tests are very interesting. Thank you

Hi, Torsten:

I just made a couple of mistakes in the test.

1."How to end the story". OK. I see... Every story comes to an END.

2. "They had finished with each other". Ok too. I was mistaken because I thought of that sentence: "Their relationship ended up in divorce".

Thank you for your useful lessons.

Best regards,
Enrique Muñoz
