0 Hi there 02br
02br
001. you should keep the expression "in order to", so it would be "in order to not make any gaffes" 02br
002. seems ok. just add "at" when you write "Therefore, they sat at home" or "stayed home" 02br
003. Turn down the radio so I would be able to get to sleep. 02br
004. I met her for the first time in 1998 02br

02br
00re 5., I think the most probable here is "someone who is used to looking after a baby", not "someone who used to look after a baby". 0-

0 I agree with you Pieanne!! 02br
00i was just giving the 2 models using 'used', but maybe it wasn't clear enough 02br
00-'to be used to doing something' is used to describe the habit of doing something in a present situation, which matches with the example provided 02br
00-'used to do something' is used to describe an habit that occured in the past 0-

02br
02br
004.It is 1998.I met her for the first time 02br

00In #6, you need an article: 02br
02br
006. You are not allowed "to" use 01b00a02b00 mobile phone in here 02br
02br
00#9 would be more usual with 'just', or without 'have': 02br

00Well, 'prefer...than...' sounds a little odd to me, but maybe it's used in AmE. 02br
