Hello!!
I'm fed up with making a lot of mistakes in my translation sentences
So I practise...
Sorry about doing a lot of topics 
but my dream would be to become an English teacher 
And I am sure you will empower me to do it!
I have already learnt a lot thanks to your advice 
Let's get started! ...
As usual... could you help me correct my sentences please?
Thanks in advance for that!

How many time will be needed for the ceasing of both plastic pollution of the oceans and overfishing?
6. Sachez-le, messieurs : il faudrait s’investir davantage dans les causes du réchauffement climatique en agissant opportunément.
Know it, Misters: the causes of the global warming must be more invested by acting opportunely.

Hello traviskidd, and thanks!

hello..
In 5 "the ceasing" is an awkward-sounding gerund...I would say "how long will it be before....ends"

Hello.
- "Are" doesn't have to be removed, but it's superfluous. (That's why I barred it in green.)
- More attention should be done (wrong verb) ... by acting (propitiously
)- I agree with bluestar.
See you.

Okay, thanks for that but...would you know WHY
that verb is superfluous? I must admit that I don't understand at all, I thought it was an obligation to put a verb...

Hello vaiana,
Do you know 'The more, the merrier.'? There is no verb at all.
Hello traviskidd,
I have noticed too much green in your correction

Hello Lucile,
Yes I know it, but that always seems very strange to me
See you!
