Grammar
3 sentences that are not grammatical, need help please?
Could you please help me correct these sentences?
1 Walk as far back to the end of the platform as you can before the train pulls in.
2 I'm looking for an actress who is young but (who) has talent.
3 If you tell her what you bought her, she won't be able to wait to get her present and christmas is all about waiting and surprises.
can't use use the future tense with "she can't wait to"
When you use "i can't wait" you don't mean it literally, it means you really want something but "won't be able to wait" doesn't seem to mean the same thing or does it?
Thank you

Hi For the first sentence, there is a words order problem. it should be like this: 'Walk as far as you can to the end of the platform before the train pulls in'. As for the second: 'I'm looking for an actress who is young and talented' Third sentence: "If you told her what you've bought for her, she won't be able to wait to get her present and christmas is all about waiting and surprises.
