Welcome, and thanks you too-SOFIK
There is another common error in your writing which you can quickly correct, Sofik.
The spaces come after the punctuation marks, not before them, when dealing with full stops, commas, exclamation marks, question marks, etc.
Thank you! I did not think about this. I forgot.
OOh,I know that I write with many mistakes.Now I am afraid of writing anything that is why I am in this excellent forum to learn english.Please correct my errors.
Oh! never give up, keep touch with your harsh criticizer(if you think) as well as follow
on their mistakes too, as nobody is perfect.
One day, you will run across the goal. Indicating is not always a criticizing but way of pointing may be seemed! Everybody makes mistake more or less, observe and point out.
You have made the opposite error now 
You haven’t left a space after the punctuation mark, like this.
Don’t be afraid to make mistakes though. As long as you are prepared to learn from them, mistakes are excellent teachers.
The only time mistakes can’t help are when you pretend they don’t exist. Sadly some people pretend that they are deliberately writing in some strange style and feel a need to attack anyone who tries to help them, rather than admit that they are making mistakes.

Why do I want to improve my English? My answer is: if I can achieve the challenge soon, it get helped me to earn not less than 10,000 to 15,000 US $ dollar per month.
Let me try:
Mistakes can’t help you only if you pretend they don’t exist.
The only one thing I don’t understand is why “are” is used. Isn’t the subject ‘The only time’ singular?
Justin
Your version is garbled, Justin.
Try this:
The only time mistakes can’t help (you) /are / when you pretend they don’t exist.
Hi Beeesneees,
I was trying to express my understanding of your sentence by using another expression.
Did you mean that my sentence is incorrect in grammar? Or did you mean the logic of my sentence doesn’t equal to that of the original one? I’d like to know more about my mistake(s).
And my question is still unsolved: what is the subject of the original sentence? “The only time”, “mistakes” or “you”?
Please allow me try again:
The only time when mistakes can’t help (you) is when you pretend they don’t exist.
Thanks!
Justin
Hi Justin,
Your first attempt was grammatically incorrect because of the misplacement of ‘only’.
This later one is fine.

Wel come,
But, you both please start up with “English” instead of “english”!
Capital letter is mandatory here.
Welcome is one word (albeit derived from the phrase ‘well come’).
Well Bev.
Once I knew the exact phrase but you misled me, doesn’t it mean the symbol of pedagogue mentality?
Please see
english-test.net/forum/ftopi … aster_pace
Interesting.
Out of curiosity, which sentence in that thread misled you, Mr. Minhajquazi?
Justin
I’d like to know that too., Justin.
I’d also like to know the purpose of the link as it seems to have no bearing on my comment at all.
Hi Torsten,
I want to improve my English because i am working in IT Company. I feel difficult and getting tense talking with clients and team members. I found speak English fluently very important.
Bye Yamini.
Actually, in that thread Bev corrected your “wel’ come”.
The lesson didn’t take, as evidenced by your “wel come” in this thread, but she didn’t mislead you.
