Be or Become / much less or nor / In or Be

Please help me with this.

Different ways to say the sentence, which are correct and natural? How would you write the sentences?

1 He isn't nice, much less consierate./nor is he considerate/let alone considerate.

2 He was about to get shot when I walked in/He was going to get shot when I walked in.

3 You are doomed to be/become a monster soon.

4 This is the last time you are going to see me./This is going to be the last time you see me.

5 What month is it supposed to be?/What month are we supposed to be in?

Thank you

1 He isn't nice, much less consierate./nor is he considerate/let alone considerate.

You would say one or the other to be honest. To say he isn't considerate suggests he isn't nice, there is no point of saying both. "He isn't very considerate." or "He isn't very nice." are fine.

2 He was about to get shot when I walked in/He was going to get shot when I walked in.
