Hi,

a) She is cutting a cloth now. This is correct grammar,as already noted..

But I suggest that it would be more natural to say 'She is cutting some cloth' or perhaps 'She is cutting a piece of cloth'.

Best wishes, Clive

Hi,

It wasn't until night time that she finished her homework.

She didn't finished her homework until night came.

Are these right? It's more natural here to speak of 'the evening' rather than 'night time'.

Hi,

You might like to note that 'a shot' is a more common term in N. America than 'an injection'.
