Grammar

Could you please help me make these grammatical?

Could you please help me correct these sentences I'm having trouble with please?



1 It's not the same volts/voltage here as in europe. (how would you naturally say this?)

2 It's amazing how soundproof floor to floor can be. You can't here what music's being played on the first floor from the second. (how would you properly say the first sentence, as someone told me it wasn't natural at all?)

3 You can connect to the internet for an hours from when you connect/from the second you connect. Whether you disconnect halfway through the hour and try to connect later makes no difference. (how to properly say the first part as sounds ugly, please try rewording it for me)

4 Can you let us know where there are different restaurants?

5 We'll have this entrée to start.

6 What's the sauce in this dish./served with this dish? (How would you say this?)

7 You are probably getting the two movies mixed up.

8 I hate watching a movie when I don't know what it's about/and not knowing what it's about. (how to naturally say this?)

9 How will I know if/that I'm properly portrayed in your book if you won't let me read it?

10 They are trying to make the economy like what it was before.

11 The job I have requires the use of...

12 Message me from over my shirt not under.

13 From close (up) she's ugly.

14 Pick a hotel you know (of), not one you've never been to.

15 All the people that were in your act took away from the actual act. (magic trick, meaning the trick wasn't as good because all the attention was on people

16 Our luck; we had to miss our train. ("our luck" is that an idiom, is that how you use it?)

Thank you so much
