Although the repair workshop had been advertised for beginners, I wasn't sure whether my broken lamp would be suitable. The organiser asked me to bring it anyway, provided that I could explain what had happened. Instead of replacing the entire cable, we checked each connection and discovered a loose screw. I had expected someone else to do the work, but the volunteer encouraged me to make the adjustment myself. By the end of the afternoon, the lamp was working again. What mattered most was not the money I had saved, but the confidence I gained from understanding a problem that had seemed beyond me.
- wasnt → wasn't
«wasn't»: El apóstrofo señala las letras omitidas en la contracción; quitarlo altera su escritura.
- weather my broken lamp → whether my broken lamp
«whether my broken lamp»: Whether introduce aquí una duda entre posibilidades; weather significa tiempo atmosférico.
- Instead off → Instead of
«Instead of»: Of es la preposición de este grupo; off expresa separación y es otra palabra.
- a lose screw → a loose screw
«a loose screw»: Loose significa suelto y lleva dos oes; lose significa perder.
- someone else to did → someone else to do
«someone else to do»: Después de to se conserva aquí la forma base do; did es el pasado.
- the money I had save → the money I had saved
«the money I had saved»: Had o su contracción ’d va seguido aquí de participio; conserva la forma que sitúa el hecho antes de otro pasado.
