Grammar
Cna someone help me with these sentences that are drving me insane
can someone look at the grammar please
1. The owner of the apartment overbudgets the electricity expenses so as to maake sure the tenant does go over that amount in electricty per month so that he doesn't have to pay out of his pocket (what i'm trying to say is that electricty normally costs 50 and her charges them 100 just to make sure he doesn't have to pay out of his poket)
is this how you use REFERENCE POINT
2. If you don't have a ruler, check and see how long your finger is as a reference point for when you don't have a ruler, and then compare you're finger to what it is your measuring
3 Use that table as a reference point to know what the other table numbers are (as in / if you know where table 37 is than you'll know where 38 39 etc are when working at a restaurant)
4. He's even worse than me when it comes to looking for something he's misplaced, he never finds it
5. I can smell it through/across the cellophane
6 The movie was so bad i don't remember what happened in it/throughout it
7 The movie is so serious that you really have to get into it and can't be half watching it
8 Paraplegic sister's turn on is getting waccked in/on the tibia with a bat, go wonder why

Hi, 1. The owner of the apartment overbudgets the electricity expenses so as to maake sure the tenant does go over that amount in electricty per month so that he doesn't have to pay out of his pocket (what i'm trying to say is that electricty normally costs 50 and her charges them 100 just to make sure he doesn't have to pay out of his poket) The two 'so' clauses don't work together. The owner of the apartment overcharges for electricity to make he doesn't have to pay out of his own pocket.

Hi again,
Can you try again first, writing in as simple a way as you can?
If you want to, use more than one sentence.
Then I'd be happy to comment.
