Hello,Note my corrections and comment above. There's a difference between wrong and incomprehensible. Clearly, I understood what you meant even though I had to make some corrections.
Why do you specifically need help with written English? Don't you need to improve your general English (spoken and written)? What sort of texts do you want to write? There are different styles of writing depending on your audience.
In that case, you need "I need a short book to help me with English writing". It wasn't clear from post #1 that you wanted to write a story. That's why I asked what kinds of texts you were talking about.Hello.
Thank you so much for your reply.
Those were great corrections no comma here but "I need a short book to teach writing in English no full stop here" sentence can be true. Maybe I don't just mean myself.
I want to write a story and I want a book that will teach me how to write in English in a nutshell.TheIs general Englishisnot OK for story writing?

I'm afraid I have no idea. I don't teach English for creative writing. Someone else might have a suggestion. Can you tell us whether you're looking for a book specifically aimed at learners of English as a foreign language, or would a general creative writing guide suit you?Which book is suitable for me?

Hello,What exactly do you mean when you say 'writing'? Writing what? For whom? Why?
Or are you talking about very general writing skills like punctuating, sentencing, paragraphing?

I want to improve my normal writing, for something like chatting or writing a simple text.
Thanks.Note my comments and corrections above. It's important to write complete sentences on the forum.
The best way to improve your English is to read lots of English content. Try some news websites. Don't look at Facebook/YouTube/Twitter comments! The writers of those posts rarely care about grammar, punctuation or spelling.
I'm rushing out now but someone will, no doubt, recommend a couple of books shortly.Thanks.
Yougothave found some grammatical errorsfromin my writing. What bookis suitable sowould be useful to ensure that I don'thavemake such mistakes?
@hack3rcon This is just my opinion, but I think that if you take the corrections seriously that you can learn very fast by making mistakes here. Just make sure you learn from them (the corrections) and you don't make the same mistakes twice.
(Not all forums are like this one.)
