Hi Dulce,
Wow!! Very hard exercise, but great activity at the same time, I liked it!
English language is incredibly rich, I mean, what variety of grammar, rules, complements, vocabulary, idioms... it's so complex.
For that reason we need to pay great attention, to improve more and more by learning new things and, of course, try to practise every day to keep our English level.
Thanks to people like you that helps us to be better with your amazing work at School and give us good advise. For all this and much more, I'm very (extremely) delighted to meet you and to have the opportunity to share all your knowledge.
Thanks a lot! Take care dear,
Carla
