Hi,
Could you correct the mistakes in these sentences as each one seems lame.
1. Whatever I've done, I couldn't get her off my mind.
2. Despite anything(everything) I did, I can't keep it away from my mind.
3. What I want is to go away for a while and to empty my mind somewhere by the Mediterrenean Sea.
4. All he thinks is flirting with the girls from nowhere and drinking all night.
5. As for her, she couldn't move while the murderer was killing the boy stabbing in the heart.
Thanks in advance..
