@Linda I once listened to this audio and can get 80% of it. When I was back to this audio to listen to it again and wanted to write it down, I saw your writing. If you didn’t write it down, maybe I could still not understand it completely. You have perfect listening ability, and I envy you.

@Linda I once listened to this audio once and canould get 80% of it. @Linda I listened to this audio once and could get 80% of it.

Because "once" applies to just the first clause in the sentence, and not to all of it, it makes more sense at the end of the clause. "Could" rather than "can" because it's not a hard and set ability, and you go on to change that.

When I was back to this audio to listen to it again and wanted to write it down, I saw your writing.


When I wasent back to this audio to listen to it again and wanted to write it down, I saw your wtranscriptiong. When I went back to this audio to listen to it again and wanted to write it down, I saw your transcription.

"Went back to" rather than "was back to", "was" is already there, no movement. "went back to" is commonly used for "revisited".

If you didn’t write it down, maybe I could still not understand it completely.


If you dihadn't written it down, maybe I could stillI still might not understand it completely. If you hadn't written it down, I still might not understand it completely.

"hadn't written" past perfect because you are talking about something that is completed in the past but relevant to now. "might" is a weaker conditional, it fits here better, to my ear.

You have perfect listening ability, and I envy you.
