What did you change?

Your mind, clothes, direction, opinion, job, lifestyle? More context required.

Hi Jaiwin,

If you use 'change' without an object, it can have two meanings: become different or put on different clothes.

Let me explain-

Charlie changed as he grew up and became a much calmer person.

Charlie got home, changed and then went out running.

The weather changed and it became sunny.

Of course you can use it with an object to suggest choose something different as in: change jobs/opinion/car/places and so on.

Hi, the answer for "I changed" is exactly : "change myself", it means im having an other status per exemple, generally it's used to express a positive change.

Hi Garry,

Now only I heard the name "Haitian". I cant undertood this name. Then i search the internet. Its gave the following answer

"A republic in the West Indies on the western part of the island of Hispaniola; achieved independence from France in 1804; the poorest and most illiterate nation in the western hemisphere"

Is this correct?

Then I am 30 years old. I am interested to write, read and speak english. I am working as a webdesigner. what about you?

Thanks,

Always smile,
Jaiwin.
