Question about English (US)
How do you say this in English (US)? I have a friend who call every weekdays. Sometimes I don't want to take her call. She always brags about her family for over an hour. So, I don't answer her phone call sometimes. I know I'm a little selfish. 하지만 어쩔 수 없잖아요. Otherwise, I get stressed.

I have a friend who calls every day during the week. Sometimes I don't want to take her call. She always brags about her family for over an hour, so sometimes I just don’t answer. I know I'm a little selfish, but I can’t help it. Otherwise, I get stressed.

@a9c791f6 Not always, but, “so sometimes I just don’t answer” is a dependent clause. It relies on the information in the previous clause, so it needs to be combined. Imagine if you just wrote the sentence, “so sometimes I just don’t answer.” on a piece of paper and handed it to someone. Would they understand what you mean? It’s the same for the way you wrote it originally, too. I just made it sound a little bit more natural
