Perhaps.. Nobody wants to go to the dentist. I hate to go to the dentist, too. I hate especially the smell and the noise of the cure equipment. But I had to go there yesterday. There was a pain in my left molar. To speak honestly, I have felt the pain since last 2 month. But I did not want to go to the dentist. So I put off the treatment over and over again. Anyway, I went there eventually. I undergo the treatment. The cure takes about 20 minutes. Even thought the dentist anesthetized my tooth, I could feel the pain.
I want to tell you. If you have a pain in your tooth, go to the dentist as soon as possible. Because I put off the treatment, I have to go there again. Putting off the treatment makes my tooth worse. I had to receive more serious cure. Please go to the dentist as soon as possible.
Oh, I really relate to this. I hate going to the dentist, and I’ve done the same thing that you did. Dental problems can cause so many complications, and really make life difficult, if you don’t take care of them as soon as possible.
I want to point out two specific words that many students use incorrectly, not just you: cure and since.
We use the word “cure” more often as a verb than as a noun, and in any case, we use the verb specifically for wounds or diseases, not for things like infections or dental problems. Someone can “cure” cancer, but usually don’t say that a dentist “cured” a toothache. And the noun we would use is actually “treatment”, and the verb “to treat”.
ie. I put off going to the dentist for a long time, and so I had to receive more serious and complicated treatment.
As for “since” let me show you the error with a different example:
Can you now see your error in the sentence about how long you’ve been feeling pain in your molar?
Thank you, gord. I’ll fix and rewrite it soon.
