I'd say, if you want to say about yourself without mentioning your spouse you say "I got married last year", "I'm married now". If your spouse is nearby or you just want to say who you married you say "I married her/him blindly"

tommasi wrote:2 - Why when we want to say ( I want to make sure ) we add "make"?


Strangely, they don't say "get sure". I wonder why...

tommasi wrote:3- When I was reading some articles I noticed some words have ( P.P ) without any " verb to have " before them, why? :roll:


P.P. is a verbal adjective and is mostly used as an adjective. It's only when you use Perfect, say "I've trimmed the edge of the lawn", or if you want something to be done by someone else, say, "I want to have the edge trimmed", that you use it after "have". Here's an exercise for you. Find out which is which in "They have all had letters sent to their houses with the wrong names and addresses on them; and to avert suspicion they have written 'Not Known' on the envelopes and put them back in the pillar box".

It's because you only know the words. Tell me if knowing how to play football is enough for being able to play it. You need practice. And training. Self-training isn't enough either. You need a trainer, a teacher.

I'm sorry for you. But if you can't have the best , have the best of what you can. Try to speak to yourself from time to time. Besides, you can read books in your native language and try to retell the plot in English. Or else try to interpret your thoughts as if you were explaining it to an English speaker. You can share your experience on the Internet. Your post can be addressed to noone in particular. He who wants will hear. Patience, just patience.

tommasi wrote:5- what (wannabe ) does mean?


"Wannabe" means "want to be" - a person who worships a movie star (or a footballer or another famous person) and wants to be like him/her.

tommasi wrote:From your experience, what are advantages and disadvantages of electronic dictionary?


Any dictionary is good, though I'd advise you to get used to a book first. These skills will help one day.

to be continued...

Why! Any dictionary is useful, not only English. Encyclopedias, reference books, etc. are also very helpful.
tommasi wrote:7- We have word " noticed " , when could I make it as a verb and adjective?


When it's the only verb of the Predicate - it's a verb, Past Tense. When it acts like an adjective - it's a Past Participle. You should remember that if it's the Predicate it stands after the Subject, which is a Noun without a preposition. (If it helps...)

You'd better read a grammar book on this subject... And learn from books you read - from fiction. There are many rules and there's no need to rewrite a grammar book here. Besides, surf the site - there's a lot to learn here.

You are in the right place, buddy...

... and you're on the right track. Don't be shy.
