Sincerely yours.
Sorry, Crotalito, don't be angry. I find you nicer than another thing. No sé, esta frase no me suena muy bien en inglés, quería decir que te encuentro más simpátic@ que otra cosa.

Thank you for your commentaries about.

You can say ( You are nice than others)

And don't worry, I'm not angry sometimes.

¿Sólo "sometimes"?, ¿sólo algunas veces? Miedo me das...

Porque si hubieras dicho "no siempre estoy enfadado", "I'm not angry always", hubiera sido otra cosa. Si dices "algunas veces no estoy enfadado (sometimes)" es como decir "casi siempre estoy enfadado", ¿no? , o eso creo, al menos

I'm not sure if it's said "I'm always angry" or "I'm angry always". The first sentence sounds better to me, but the second one follow the rules, doesn't it?

In English, we usually insert the adverb between the subject and the verb.

A veces me hago un lío con esto, no sé dónde va cada elemento de la oración. Lo he estudiado pero se me olvida y tengo que recurrir a lo que me suena mejor.

Thank you, Rusty.

The thing to be aware of is that language is very flexible. Certainly, as you suspected and Rusty confiimed "I'm always angry" is clearest way
of say it, but technically "I'm angry always" is really ok. As someone learning, it is best to know the most regular way of saying things, but to be aware of the fact that you can manipulate adverb and adjectives.
Example:
John: I don't know why you are always angry.
Mary: I'm not always angry. It's you who's angry always.(Of course you can say:It's you who's always angry.

Other examples: He badly needs medication.
He needs medication badly.
Both are OK.

Any questions. Just ask.

Yes! Another question, because I'm going to get angry now (its a joke"). The questios is that nobody has told me what was the way of saying "la palabra del día" in English. Now I'm thinking that it could be "The day word". Me hago un lío con esto... (I don't know how to say "me hago un lío" in English, sorry! )

I can imagine it, then when you are angry well I guess that you are very very hard to attend, because you are women.

Technically the Spanish "Palabra del día" works both ways; if you're learning English, then it just gives you the definition first, then the English meaning.

Edit: D'oh! I thought I was at the end of the thread when I posted this. I only was at the end of the first page. Didn't notice that there were two more . . . so if this has been said already, I apologize.
