Some tips for making questions:

Every time you make a question remember: 

It isn't enough to change your tone: 

"You get your suitcase?" X (You are thinking in Spanish)
You should say: "Did you get your suitcase?" 

"You went to the Club?" X (You are thinking in Spanish)
You should say: "Did you  go to the club?"

You must change the words order when a verb is composed by two words: 

" Have been you worried?" X
You should say: "Have you been worried?" (The subject goes between the two words verb)

"Did lose you the suitcase?" X
You should say: "Did you lose the suitcase?" (The subject goes between the two words verb)
  

If you make a subordinated question, construct it in an affirmative form:

"Do you remember where did you leave the suitcase?" X
You should say: "Do you remember where you left the suitcase?"  (The subordinated question won't take auxiliaries, the verb will go in the tense you need, and you won't change the words order)

"Do you know what did the suitcase have?" X
 You should say: "Do you know what the suitcase had?" (The subordinated question won't take auxiliaries, the verb will go in the tense you need, and you won't change the words order)

Pronouns after a verb or a preposition:

Polly helped she. X
You should say: Polly helped her. 

Corsellis listened to they. X 
 You should say: Corsellis listened to them.

These are the correct forms for each:

I : Me
You: You
He: Him
She: Her
It: It
We: Us
They: Them

"All is truth" by Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman
1819–92, American poet, b. West Hills, N.Y. Considered by many to be the greatest of all American poets, Walt Whitman celebrated the freedom and dignity of the individual and sang the praises of democracy and the brotherhood of man. His Leaves of Grass, unconventional in both content and technique, is probably the most influential volume of poems in the history of American literature.
I celebrate myself; / And what I assume you shall assume/ For every atom belonging to me, as good belongs to you. —Leaves of Grass

All is Truth

O ME, man of slack faith so long!
Standing aloof—denying portions so long;
Only aware to-day of compact, all-diffused truth;
Discovering to-day there is no lie, or form of lie, and can be none, but grows as inevitably upon itself as the truth does upon itself,
Or as any law of the earth, or any natural production of the earth does.	5
(This is curious, and may not be realized immediately—But it must be realized;
I feel in myself that I represent falsehoods equally with the rest,
And that the universe does.)
Where has fail’d a perfect return, indifferent of lies or the truth?
Is it upon the ground, or in water or fire? or in the spirit of man? or in the meat and blood?	10
Meditating among liars, and retreating sternly into myself, I see that there are really no liars or lies after all,
And that nothing fails its perfect return—And that what are called lies are perfect returns,
And that each thing exactly represents itself, and what has preceded it,
And that the truth includes all, and is compact, just as much as space is compact,
And that there is no flaw or vacuum in the amount of the truth—but that all is truth without exception;	15
And henceforth I will go celebrate anything I see or am,
And sing and laugh, and deny nothing.

Walt Whitman

In 1855 Whitman published at his own expense a volume of 12 poems, Leaves of Grass, which he had begun working on probably as early as 1847. It was criticized because of Whitman’s exaltation of the body and sexual love and also because of its innovation in verse form
