My mom and I went to one of our go-to restaurants for lunch. She ordered cold arrowroot noodles, and I asked for a noodle soup with Manila clams, as always. We told jumbo steamed meat dumplings as well. They served barley bibimbap to each person as a complimentary dish. Everything was tasty, so we could eat our fill. After eating out, I took a shower because I felt warm. And then, I stood in front of the air conditioner for a few minutes before my English class because I wanted to cool off.
Here are the corrections:
-
Original:
We told jumbo steamed meat dumplings as well.
Corrected:
We also ordered jumbo steamed meat dumplings.
Explanation:
The verb “told” is incorrect. We use “order” when asking for food at a restaurant. “Also” fits better here to show it's an additional item.
-
Original:
Everything was tasty, so we could eat our fill.
Corrected:
Everything was tasty, so we ate our fill.
Explanation:
“Could eat” means "had the ability," but here you want to express that you did eat a lot, so the simple past “ate” is better.
-
Original:
After eating out, I took a shower because I felt warm.
Corrected:
✅ This sentence is grammatically fine and natural.
Explanation:
No correction needed.
-
Original:
And then, I stood in front of the air conditioner for a few minutes before my English class because I wanted to cool off.
Corrected:
Then I stood in front of the air conditioner for a few minutes before my English class because I wanted to cool off.
Explanation:
Starting a sentence with “And then” is often informal or redundant. Simply starting with “Then” is cleaner and more natural in writing.
