    1st Version:
    Anyone who teaches me one word - even half a word - is still my teacher.
    2nd Version:
    Even he who teaches me the smallest bit can still be called my teacher

    Please correct my grammar as you see fit. Much appreciated!

    I think that you should try with his/her sentence below:

    Bob, look like the table didn't get truncated. I'll check the system

    Bob! The table look like not getting truncated. I'll check the system.

    This sentence must be in dialogue.

    Hi ca'c ba.n,

    Ho^m qua ca'i program trong ha~ng Thi bi. failed. A coworker names Bob asked me what went wrong. So that was my answer.

    To explain the meaning of that sentence: normally, the system has to truncate (to clean out completely the content) the table before trying inserting new data into it.

    Table gio^'ng nhu* 1 ca'i file carbinet trong database system. Mo^~i dde^m we have an automated program tu*. ddo^.ng copy ddo^` trong table qua back up disc, clean out the table, va` insert new data va`o that table.
    Sometimes this procress bi. failed va` my sentence was to explain to Bob what had happened.

    I was not sure how to use "look like" at the begining of the sentence,
    So I used this "Bob, it looks like the table didn't get truncated."

    My English is not that good, so Manh and Dethuong, if you both think the new sentence is structurely corrected then I will take your words for it.
    However, can you look at my new sentence and see if it's ok?
    "Bob, it looks like the table didn't get truncated."


    P.S. Please feel free to correct my English even in my questions or my explainations.

    Thank you so much for all your help,
    Thi Nguyen.

    Your new sentence does make sense. Thanks for explanation.
    There are a few errors:

    S/B process (n)
    structuredly (adv <===> structured (adj)
    structure (n)
    explanations (n) to explain.

    struc·tured (strŭkchərd)
    adj.
    1.
    a. Having a well-defined structure or organization; highly organized: a structured environment.
    b. Arranged in a definite pattern.
