- I took a taxi home and ended up in a car accident. From the very beginning/Even when I was getting into the car, something felt off about the car/it - it rattled even when in park, and when the driver was stepping on the gas, the rattle got even louder. When we were taking off, I could feel the car skid and be thrown on a snowy road.
Я возвращалась домой в такси и попала в ДТП. Ещё при посадке меня насторожило состояние автомобиля - он тарахтел, стоя на месте, а когда водитель начал поддавать газу, тарахтение только усилилось. Когда мы трогались, я почувствовала, как машину ведёт и бросает по дороге, покрытой снегом.

Very good! A few things:
⦿ even AS I was getting into the car
⦿ [FROM THE VERY BEGINNING is good, but surely you’ve learned at least three ways to say this more expressively somewhere… 🥲]
⦿ something felt off -[about the car/it]
⦿ it rattled even on IDLE/when IDLING
⦿ when the driver STEPPED ON THE GAS,
⦿ the RATTLING got even louder
⦿ [I don’t get the last sentence. Did that really happen or is that what you feared would happen?]
[I don’t get the last sentence. Did that really happen or is that what you feared would happen?]
According to her, that really happened)
As they started off, she could tell that the car started to skid.
Sorry, when I wrote that, I didn’t realize the rest of the story was in the other posts.
Oh I see☺️
I don’t get the last sentence.
When we took off, I could feel the car skidding heavily on a snowy road.(?)
⦿ [FROM THE VERY BEGINNING is good, but surely you’ve learned at least three ways to say this more expressively somewhere…
From the get-go (for instant)! 🤩🙏
Stupid me… but you know one thing is seeing something and quite another thing is using it actively, so this story might come up for a reason. 😅
⦿ it rattled even on IDLE/when IDLING &
⦿ the RATTLING got even louder
Goood to knowww🤩🙏
⦿ even AS I was getting into the car
I could’ve avoided this mistake(
⦿ when the driver STEPPED ON THE GAS
In the Russian, the action is repetitive, like he stepped on the gas more than one time. 🤔
Then WHENEVER
Geez… I didn’t think of it. 🤩🙏
