Sorry, I don't ignore your words, I just wanted to learn grammar tests for a few days. I will be back to corrections my old posts soon. Now, I still don't know how to correct my sentences.

[admin]

Here is the plan:
1.Use a big letter in the beginning of a new sentence and use a dot in the end of your sentence.
2.Pay attention to what you type.
3.Format and highlight your posts.

I see you started to correct posts. That's good, they look better now.
Also try to keep a symmetry and the same style everywhere.
"Correct", "Explanation", "Wrong sentence", "My mark" should be typed using a capital letter in the beginning everywhere.

@hanle I still don't know how to correct my sentences.

You can find a sentence with the same structure or a beginning of a sentence. Use Context Reverso or Google search.

EXAMPLE

"However; after I read one page, I've written down quite lots vocabularies and the grammar in the sentence was quite strange to me."

I'm not sure this sentence is good, so I've searched on the beginning of the sentence "After".
https://context.reverso.net/translation/english-german/After
I found the sentence where "After" is in the beginning.

After going home, my illness improved everyday.

After+gerund, Past Indefinite
So, the correct sentence is
After reading one page, I wrote down lots of new words and the grammar in sentences was quite strange to me.
It's because we use a gerund with the word "After".

Also you can use Google Translate or ask me in Chat.
Use these tools for corrections.
At first try to make a sentence by yourself (a draft) and then do corrections. This is one of the powerful technique that I know.
Make a sentence by yourself => Do corrections by searching similar patterns in websites.
You have to do corrections by yourself. I'll help you in the end. Let me know when you are done with corrections and I'll do my final check.
Continue grammar tests and do corrections (1-5 sentences every day).

[admin]

Since you are a beginner, I recommend you to make simple sentences (4-7 words).
A simple sentence has the next structure
A pronoun (I, you, he, she, we, it), a main verb which shows that a pronoun does something (be, do, work, go, run).
I go, I work....
A complex sentence is difficult even for natives, since people speak and write using memorized patterns mostly. Still, it's a good idea to master complex sentences because you will see them in books and understand them.
