Hello Torven I would like to make a request about COLOCATIONS that is an important lesson to learnt. Like in this sentence for example: I were to my home yesterday , but the maid was clean my house then I have to wait in my office when i back anyone was in. What I can try to explain is that if a people with a littlen of vocabulary probably will say :
I were at my house yesterday and the maid was cleaning my the bedroom of my house then my friends that I have to inveted to ave a party on Saturday at night does not can comes to my house . YOu see?
Well Hugs and Cheers!
