Branter, your writing is very cool ^^ And because of my level, I didn't find mistakes. Perhaps this:

I' gonna tell you

It's an obvious typo ^^ It's missing the "m", but, bah, nothing at all XDXDXDXD Very good, and thank you :DDD

Leonid, well, your writing is amazing *.* You have a high level, so I can't say if you have any mistake ^^U XDXDXDXD Thank you for your composition, your time and your help :DDDD

elfmgp, your wrinting is very good :DDD Good job ^^ Only I want to say this:

I dont study any more

Again, the apostrophe is important ^^ And we should get used to writing it :) We can do it >.< XDXDXDXD

And, I think that's all :D Very good :DDDD

Melpo, you also have a good level :DDDD I like your writing: it's clear, easy to understand and you introduce yourself very well :DDD And you said a big true:

When I became older I realized it was very useful because there were lots of books I want to read that were not translated into Spanish. And, of course, TV series

Yeah. A lot of people study English because their favorite Tv shows or books are not translated to their languages U.U And, a little thing about the "realized". That is American English ^^ Be careful if you will take Cambridge exam in your future ^^ Because they love their English, their British English XDXDXDXD I am like you, I usually write American English because I read American English, but, well, we have to change things if we take British exams and that stuff ^^

Akin, I laughed a lot with your writing XDXDXD It is very funny XDXDXDXD Only two things:

first i tried to understand Spanish

"I" as a pronoun goes in capital letters ^^ But, I am pretty sure this is a typo ^^ 

I could help you with another tasks that I'm really good

I am not sure, but I think when you put plural noun, "another" becomes "other/others" ^^

but as much as I tried I never could see the hare

With this I am very confused because it is a mess for me XDXDXDD But, I think when you put an adverb and a modal verb, the modal verb goes before adverb. And, with the others verbs (but to be), adverb goes after them :) I think XDXDXDXDXD 

Faris, I love your name, it's pretty cool :DDD As your writing XDXDXDXDXD I didn't find any mistake ^^ Only one thing:

and this year I got my C1 title.

I think the best word would be certificat, not title ^^ I used to have this mistake too, and my teacher corrected me every time XDXDXDXDXD But, maybe title is well too, and my teacher only wanted me to learn another word XXDXDXDXD

But, you have a hig level, it is very good :DDDD

LadyMidday, thank you for your writing :DDDD 

I have been studied English from our old 6ºEGB

I think you wanted to say: "I have been studying", present perfect continuous ^^ Because, if you put that, I understand that "he sido estudiada" XDXDXDXD Which would be very cool :P XDXDXDXD

I decided to study it myself.

I think, but I am not sure that it's missing the preposition "by"-> "I decided to study it by myself". 

and spend funny momments together!!

And I think that was a typo ^^ One "m" is out XDXDXD

Anyway, you have a good level, and, like you, I would like take C1 exam *.* But, yes, it needs time, a lot DD: XDDXD But, we can do it >.< XDXDXDXD

Well, thank you a lot for your writings, and if there are some mistakes, apart from I saw, please, say it :DDDD Thank you, guys ^^

but as much as I tried I never could see the hare

With this I am very confused because it is a mess for me XDXDXDD But, I think when you put an adverb and a modal verb, the modal verb goes before adverb. And, with the others verbs (but to be), adverb goes after them :) I think XDXDXDXDXD 

That is likely because of wording: after seeing "but", which subordinates sentences, you expect to see the continuation of the sentence, but find instead a side note. This is what English teachers usually refer to as "non-defining information", information not strictly neccessary to convey the meaning of the sentence, and it´s usually presented between commas to mark that.

"but, as much as I tried, I could never see the hare" -> If you "ignore" the space delimited by commas, it's much simpler to parse the sentence.

It can also be important because putting a piece of information as defining or not can alter the meaning of a sentence.

The man, who drives a yellow car, talked to me -> A man which, by the way, drives a yellow car, talked to me.

The man who drives a yellow car talked to me -> That specific man, and no other, talked to me.

It´s more a matter of style and writing than grammar, really, but it can be important to prevent confusion, esepcially with the use of commas. It´s not the same to say "My morning routine: watch my sister, take a shower" than "My morning routine: watch my sister take a shower" XDDDD

And you are right, the modal verb goes before the adverb.

Thank you, Leonid ^^ It is very useful your explanation ^^

And, I quote myself:

And, with the others verbs (but to be), adverb goes after them :) I think XDXDXDXDXD 

Well, I was wrong here XDXDXDXD Adverbs goes before verbs (but to be and modal verbs). Uf, see? It's a mess XDXD So:

  • I am pretty sure you will pass. Verb to be + adverb + verb. 
  • You could really help her, but you don't want to. Modal verb + adverb + verb. 
  • I really eat a lot bananas. I love them. Adverb + verb.
