Notice a pattern here...be sure to use "I" when describing an action you're doing. Only time a verb alone can work is if it's succeeding a previous verb. So like, "I like to read and write." or "I like dancing, moving, singing."

Great job! And impressive with being consistent. I'm having trouble being consistent with my daily schedule with Arabic.

Nice work! Remember that every English sentence needs a subject:

I ran away.
They cooked lunch.
You arrived in Puerto Rico.

Even sentences that don't really need a subject take a dummy subject:

*It* snowed yesterday.

The only exception is when giving a command:

Don't run away!
Don't cook lunch!
Do not arrive in Puerto Rico!

Let me know if you have any questions :)
