Have you ever had a confusing experience?

Yes, I have. About 5 years ago, I took part in one of my friend's wedding ceremony.
On my way to get there, I unconciously left my bag at the toilet at the nearest station from my home. My purse was inside the bag. The moment that I noticed I had left my bag was 15 minutes after I got a train. I felt so panicked.

Yes, I have. About five years ago, I took part in    my friend's wedding ceremony.
On my way to get there, I unconsciously left my bag in the toilet at the nearest station from my home. My purse was inside the bag. The moment that I noticed I had left my bag was 15 minutes after I got the train. I    panicked so much.

1. We usually write the numbers zero through nine as full words and all numbers after nine numerically from ten through one million.
2. Most people only have - or plan to have - ONE wedding.
3. Spelling mistake.
4. IN refers to TOILET.
5. We use ‘the’ when there is only one of something or when we are referring to a particular thing. (E.g. “I looked at the Moon. I used the Internet. The report was difficult to read on the small screen.”)
6, 7. PANIC is not an adjective.
Oh, no. What happened then? Were you able to get your bag back? Did you turn back as soon as you realized?

Of course, I went back to the station that I had left my bag, however, it was missing. The worst thing I imagined is that someone might abuse my credit card. So, I called the credit card company soon and asked the person in charge to be expire my credit card. Then, I went to the my friend's wedding ceremony in a hurry and I made it. After the whole event was over, I went back to the station and explained the detail to the police and told them to let me know if they find my bag.

1. This refers to PLACE.
2. You can use a semicolon before the conjunctive adverb to join these sentences together.
3, 7. Past tense required.
4. SO is a conjunction and can be used to join two sentences together here.
5. EXPIRE refers to the DATE on the card.
6. Plural for this general point.
That must have been very stressful for you. What happened then? Were the police able to find your bag?

After 2 weeks, the police called me that they found my bag, however, the only thing inside the bag was my purse which was vacant. I had no choice but to give up. From that experience, I've learned a lot.

3. Past perfect required.

5. VACANT refers to a ROOM.
That's too bad. Still, it's good that you called the bank immediately before your card could be used. What do you do now to prevent this from happening again?

I have to keep in mind that I prepare myself so lightly without having several bags especially when I go outside wearing a classic dress for some kinds of parties. If I have to carry some bags, I should keep an eye on where my valuables hold.
In addition, I should go out from my house as early as possible just in case.

1. A comma is required before the conjunctive adverb.
2. The passive voice is needed here.
Yes, you should be more mindful about how many bags you have and where they are. Anyway, at least you now know what to do so I don't think this will happen again. Just be more careful from now on.

Thank you for your advice. I appreciate it. Every time I recall this, I think that is the worst ashamed experience I've ever had even though 5 years have passed. Yes, I know what to do to, so I won't make the same mistake again.
