Today BBQ in one of his vegetable field, I have been cooking “Croquette”(mashed potatoes,minced beef and pork mix,the light brown chopped onions)for acquaintances
during half a day. I’m dead tired so will catch forty winks.
I wish i could catch forty winks right now – sleepy!!
You used the phrase perfectly Mutsuko! Well done!
Some feedback on your sentence:
Today I had a BBQ in one of his (who?) vegetable field. I have been cooking ‘Croquette’(mashed potatoes,minced beef and pork mix,the light brown chopped onions)for acquaintances for during half a day. I’m dead tired so will catch forty winks.

OH! YES! I see that you must have been sleepy and are still.
You are great hard worker. You do a lot of work on this site, FaceBook and maybe more for English learners, of course including me. I hope you, John, can have an occasional good sleep.
Thank you for correcting my answer. I shouldn’t have put “in one of his” in the sentence. ^_^; I wonder why I did that.?I should have said that “Today I had a BBQ in a field of one of acquaintances.”
Mutsuko
Correct: ??blank
I am not sure what you mean…?
Hi Mustuko – you are welcome! And I had a good sleep last night! Thank you!
Mutsuko
Oops! I’m sorry for confusing you.For a couple of times, It looked differently even after checked if my English sentence looked ok before posting it. I mean that “??” or “?” appears among the sentence after posting. I shoudl have said “?” is not required.
I see! Thanks!
