These mostly look correct to me, but I'm not sure about #16. I suppose it could be describing a plan, but it's not very clear. )

(There are also some picky quibbles, such as #11 not describing an "action that happened" but an action that didn't happen, and a number of spelling errors which I won't bother to correct unless you are especially interested.)

Thank you very much for all the help Mr Wordy. The spelling errors aren't important.
