她說從標點符號能看出來,該斷的沒斷。我覺得你的英語作為non-native speaker已經很好了,很優美的,你不是問她怎麽能看出來區別,我想等她的回答學習一下的,可她又不答了,不介意的話,我可以舉兩個例子嗎?

比如:

1. Part of that routine is a dinner out for just the two of us leaving the kids behind at Grandparents'. (I think this is better: Part of that routine is a dinner out for just the two of us, leaving the kids...)


再比如, 用詞的順序,有小小別扭

2. To correctly set expectation, I would like to point out that people are generally laid back where we are. (No major mistake, just doesn't sound quite native. How about this: To set expectation correctly, I would like to point out that people in our area are generally laid back-->I guess that's what you meant, right?)
