4 complex sentences need help properly writing please
Could you please help me correct these 4 sentences?
- Circumstances make a person the person they are today, had life gone differently for them they wouldn't be the person they are today.
- You'll regret it either way, but the question is which will you regret less. You'll regret not say bye more than you'll regret not going to see her at all.
- What I didn't know was how much part of your life soccer really was.
- I can't stand the smell my hands have/the smell of my hands after cooking. I could have let you do the cooking.
Thank you
