sorry if will post my question here about english cause no one in eng. sec. is replying
Even if Mr. Pan already took away his mother from their enemies he is still worried because is not anymore eating and unhappy. Yet, Mr. Pan did already anything to make his mother happy but it was all ineffective. One day Mr. Pan said to his wife Sophia that they should do something. He asked if there is someone Sophia knows who can speak Chinese with Old Mrs. Pan her mother. Sophia said she know a schoolmate whose family compelled her to speak Chinese named Lili Yang. Sophia said that she will call her up. Lili Yang came within a few weeks. Old Mrs. Pan and Lili Yang meet. They chatted about their home and village, until they end up talking with the love life of Lili Yang. Old Mrs. Pan was shocked to know that Lili is not yet married even if she is already 27 years. Old Mrs. Pan is sad to know that in America men will find a spouse and woman will wait for a lifetime until she is chosen. Because of that old Mrs. Pan wanted to find a way to find a partner for Lili. Old Mrs. Pan saw James Lim by looking on her window. Old Mrs. Pan would go in his shop and chat with him. Old Mrs. Pan introduced Lili and James with each other. Lili and James fell in love with each other and old Mrs. Pan arranged a marriage for them. please check my grammar
"Even if Mr. Pan already took his mother away from their enemies..."
add transition words to make it flow
and try to stay in the same tense (present,past,ect)
and you can take out the "already"s. "Although Mr.Pan did everything to make his mother happy, nothing was effective."
"Even if Mr. Pan already took his mother away from their enemies he is still worried because is not anymore eating and unhappy"?
ummm... take out the sentence "one day..." and add "Trying hard to make his mother content, he asked his wife Sophia if she knew anybody that could communicate with his mother, Old Mrs. Pan." and you might want to put in a sentence why he has to find someone that can speak a chinese dialect. because "Chinese" isn't a language, you should put a more specific term like mandarin or cantonese. if they don't tell you what language they speak then you can't really do anything about that.
@moongazer i would use the correction mtbender made for you. "already" is an unnecessary word that makes sentences sound awkward
thanks for that
but in our book it is only chinese no "dialect"
ok then i guess you'll just have to go with that. oh by the way what book are you reading?
because is not anymore eating and unhappy - change to 'because he is not eating anymore and is unhappy.'
It is not a book, it is a long short story "The Good Deed" by. Pearl S. Buck it is about marriage
