You have just begun reading the sentence you just finished reading.

He estado en Barcelona antes de venir a Londres.

La boda será en sueco y catalán

Ah, que guay .

They must have meant something like that, but they have probably read about glycol poisoning and then drawn their own conclusions.

I'm the opposite when I drink wine, I get very sure of myself

Hope you didn't drank Austrian wine...

Well, I actually only had two glasses of wine and that's just enough for me to start feeling little bit tipsy and confused. I need a couple of more to get that great feeling of being super clever and brilliant .

 

[Ninjakatten]

I hope you had a peaceful resting sleep or did you?

Oh yes, thank you, I had a very nice sleep and didn´t try to hit my boyfriend once!

 

[TheRedLightning]

You're welcome, that sounds good a small victory then.

I`ve been reading this thread from time to time and my question is:

Is this a way of extend there "Oxford" english writing skills, or is it a way to practice how englishmen acctualy writes (like my writing)? Seen a lot of strange writing (formulations) here, but nothin that acctualy point one way or the other.

I think we're just trying to extend the kind of English we've learnt.

Well we are not native speakers, so of course there will be a lot of weird formulations and stuff. But it's always good to practice if you want to be more confident with the language. Myself, I don't want to learn text-book English, my friends would definitely laugh at me if I started talking/writing like that

That's what one of the things I love with Spain - my favourite wine is 3,99€ per bottle

Here's a mix of grammar I've been getting from an English speaking person through a forum, might be a bit messy. But I do hope some of it may help someone.

"on would imply that the staring is taking place over a
longer period of time
at would imply that he stares at him, then moves along

aren't you is short for are you not - is you not is just BAAADDD

was for singular; were for plural; though there's
some weird exceptions here and there

"Than" is a comparative conjunction. Such as "Naruto
is better than One Piece"

"Then" typically has to do with time and the order
of things. "We ate lunch and then went to the movies"

"Two" is the number 2

"To" is a preposition. It usually has to do
with motion. But it's not limited to motion. It's
a bit more difficult to explain. But you can probably
look up all the uses for it in the ditionary.

"Too" basically means "also" or "as well"

"There" refers to a place "We went there after the concert"

"They're" = they are

"Their" - Belonging to two or more people. "That
is their country's flag."

'this' refers to something that is closer to you, either
physically or metaphorically, than 'that' does

This - used to mention something just pointed out in the present

That - used to point out something mentioned before

...ech...these are bad definitions. The two words can often
be used interchangeably. They're also used for comparison
purposes. *points to two things in front of you* "You can
have this, or you can have that"

this - this thing right here
that - that thing over there
they mean roughly the same thing, but "this" is used for
something which is more proximal

"This" would be the word I use to refer to the FIRST thing in front of you. "That"
would be used when I point to the second thing.

Vowels.
A, E, I, O, U - any word beginning with a vowel needs the word
"an" to precede it.

"an" before a word starting with a vowel sound, which is not always an actual vowel ("an hysterical joke", for example)
"a" in all other situations

Sara's hat = the hat of Sara
Saras' hat = the hat of all those people named Sara
that hat of Saras

"yours" - pronouns don't get an apostrophe

if you're ever unsure, just rearrange the words and spell out the idea -> the hat belonging to Sara

pronouns are nouns that refer to people - him, her, me, you, them

Oxford comma
when listing more than 2 things, there's a comma after every item with the last comma followed by 'and' - in larger sentences, not using an Oxford comma makes things weird
A funny example i saw recently illustrating it perfectly...
"We invited the strippers, Kennedy, and Stalin." <-- Oxford comma
"We invited the strippers, Kennedy and Stalin."

if you have X items, you have X - 1 commas
to put it in fanfic terms, it's like saying Hina/NaruSaku in place of Hina/Naru/Saku
because all language examples are better with a threesome"

That's amazing The prizes here are probably about the same as in Sweden, the wines I usually buy are like £7, but there are often offers like 2 for £10 or a £15 wine for half the price.

Phew ... I'm glad to see that you figured out that antifreeze is glycol. A "nice guy" ... or a guy everyone thought was a nice guy murdered his wife with antifreeze a few years back. She was in terrible pain ... and surprisingly didn't get better at the hospital ... even though the worried husband brought her a bottle of red Gatorade every day. It was a great surprise for everyone when they found antifreeze (glycol) in the Gatorade and the "Nice guy" got arrested in the midst of his mourning.
Dogs and cats can die just from licking the ground where a car with a leaky radiator has been parked. It's really potent stuff.

Here in Oregon wine is a tad more expensive than in California ... except for Pinot Noir of course, it's mainly grown here and therefore we can find a lot of really good low priced Pinot Noir, but it's a tad too dry just to sip on, it needs a savory dinner to make it the best it can be.
Personally I'm a fan of Cabernet Sauvignon and that is grown in Northern California so I tend to load up on the stuff when I'm there. It's about the same price as in Spain, for very, very good wine. My favorite wine was a local wine they promoted in Napa last time I was there, It's from Napa Valley and would cost around $15 - $18 (129 SEK till 155 SEK) and some stores sold it for $7 - $8 and with 30% discount on that if you bought 6 bottles or more. I came up here with 12 bottles. I'll buy many more next time I pass by.

I just.. I don´t know... drink wine. Red wine. Under 70 SEK... But I have a favourite romanian wine! I love it, and it costs like 13 RON, wich is around 30 SEK. Sânge de Taur, wich translates to Bull blood, and it´s slightly sweeter cousin Sânge de Urs, Bear blood.
