You are here to answer the questions that have been repeated hundreds of times since we committed a fatal mistake, trust in the wisdom of your leaders.... (...)

When we created the prison we talked to your leaders warning them of the dangers of Hepri, warning them to avoid his presence because he was imprisoned between the force field of the pillars, but they didn't hear (LISTEN TO) our advice. They began to treat with Hepri and he bought them with something that they couldn't refuse, immortality, the eternal youth of being a Goa'uld.... (...)

Tollen died, at least his humanity, but he is still LIVING, his new name is Merikheper... the prime Jaffa of Hepri"

(...)

"Where are you coming soldier? (> Where are you from? OR Where do you come from?)

(...) They are a race of symbions who take race by force to survive.

i have a question...

Ark wrote...

"this people" but people is plural. Should it be these instead of this?

It's a silly question but... I'm not sure :)

"These" is correct. The pronunciation is similar but people is a plural word like you said.

This one is from few weeks ago...

but, sometimes, just sometimes, the risk worthed it.
 

The use of "worth" is like an adjective. Something is worth something. It is never used as a verb like in Spanish. So...

sometimes, the risk was worth it.

Other examples:

It is not worth it to buy that car.
The job is not worth the hassle.

And of course, the one that will help to remember it:

Because you are worth it... (L'Oreal commercial):

No problems. The more you read and write the better you get. English grammar is not the easiest, and we all make mistakes. The main thing is to keep writing, and every now and then read some old stuff you wrote to see how much you have improved :)

A few quick ones:

with a strange *grim => I think you mean "grin"

He was injured and *inconscious => unconscious (this one is a very common error)

all the weapons on the ground *where picked up => typo probably, the correct word is "were"

but the most surprising thing was that you had seen HIM before. => the phrase was missing the object (and the next one also)

Thanks a lot,

It's always a bad idea posting at night :)

It makes me mad when I make mistakes on well-known stuff... :)

Yeah, I had a feeling these were mistakes that you would have noticed at a second glance :)

Una fácil de recordar y que evita muchos errores.

Después de like, love, hate siempre el verbo + ing

I love to make friends -> I love making friends (I like playing card games, I hate eating broccoli...)

creo... :)
