you can only do so much 點解

我話:I got trouble with my studies lately. Awful!!!

Mistakes in your sentences:

My studies have troubled(past participle) me lately. Aweful! ( present perfect tense)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

佢話:Sorta, but you can only do so much, can't you?


Mistakes in your friend's sentences:

Sorta, but you cannot do much, can you?


Sorta = American word = sort of


It means It is sort of awful! You cannot do much right?

有些壞 la! 但是你不能做 D mud yeah 你得 ma?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

YOUR FRIEND DOESN'T THINK THAT YOU CAN DO MUCH

ABOUT YOUR STUDIES. JUST TAKE IT EASY!

I am sorry that I cannot type in Chinese.

I had to copy and paste every word one by one from Yahoo.dictionary for you.

Hope you will get what I mean.
