What do you think about "The mistake is needed to (for) correcting (correction)"? |
That means you need a mistake.

Looks more like you are trying to invent your own English.  You could, but what will you do with it? There will be nobody who understands it properly but you.  | |

| Yes, are...
I understood. It means I need a mistake that I can do the action of correction with it.
The mistake must be corrected...
The mistake should be corrected...
It is suited for me
I think that if I write more, then more mistakes should be corrected.
or
I think that if I write more, then more mistakes appear which should be corrected.
No, I try to understand the logic of English by my heart . | |

so that I can do
Or maybe "could do" would be better. I am not sure.
Also I'd rather say "on it", though again I'm not sure.

Oh, these two must be OK, or almost OK.

So try to understand the beauty of the word "necessary", stop avoiding it.  | |

| To have your heart set on something means to really want it.
Songs are never wrong - it's called creative license I think this particular song means: say "you," say "me" (i.e. say those two words), but it's open to interpretation.

"come clean"
can not = cannot
I don't know what you mean by "word bases"

This option sounds better.| qza wrote: | I think that if I write more, then more mistakes should be corrected.

... then more mistakes will need/have to be corrected.
... then more mistakes will appear, and they will have to be corrected (or: then more mistakes, which will have to be corrected, will appear. But that's worse). | Quote: | | No, I try to understand the logic of English by my heart . |
"with my heart" or "by heart" (but "by heart" typically means наизусть). | Quote: | | After many notices about, maybe, I will remember it |
Either remove the "about," or write "about it." | |

| say "you," say "me" - It means that the Russian translation, that was quoted, is wrong?
come clean - I tried to say "explain" (something, like I`ll do clean - It`s clean), but I forgot this word.
word bases - I meant the vocabulary, see the explanation to up (and now I dont remember it already ).
Why is should not suitable? | |

The English version does not explicitly say, “Говорите друг с другом.” That’s how the translator interpreted it. The literal translation is closer to, “Скажи ты, скажи мне.” | Quote: | | come clean - I tried to say "explain" (something, like I`ll do clean - It`s clean), but I forgot this word. |
“I will clarify for you.” I thought you meant "come clean" as in admit/confess. | Quote: | | see the explanation to up |
Do you mean, “the explanation above”? | Quote: | | Why is should not suitable? |
Should = должен, so it sounds more demanding. Using “will have to” (придется) or “will need to” (будет необходимо) seems more polite. | |

Yes, clarify is good word. I remembered it sometime, but the another is suited too with idea . | |
