Grammar
I've written down what I think about these 13 questions, need help looking over
Could someone look over the bold corrections I've written and tell me what you think about the sentences.
Thanks you
1 Come 4 pm, I'm falling asleep since I woke up early. OK
2 The dog jumped on the door handle an pushed it down, opening the door. I don't know
3 As of/from 6 months, you're not allowed to smoke as it could be detrimental to the child. BOTH and sentece is fine.
4 You have a living example/proof of the damage smoking can do to you in front of you. You're mom almost died from cancer. (how would you say that?) I don't know how to say it but I understand the sentence.
5 I can't walk in/with these shoes. BOTH
6 She made me out to be the bad guy/look like the bad guy and passed for the good guy. (how would you say this?) I don't know
7 Take exit 3 and walk up to the top of the street. Walk to the the top of the street.
8 Do whatever you need to do/whatever it is you need to do/what you need to do. All 3
9 I walked one station/the distance of one station and than took the subway as I was too tired. Not sure
10 If you keep this attitude up, you'll drive everone away. OK
11 I walked across the bridge/I crossed the bridge. BOTH
12 I wish you'd stop already. OK but what does already mean in this context?
13 Let me take you on a date and if the date is up to your expectations than you don't have to see me again. Not sure
14 She took the subway one stop only to get off at the next stop./just to get off at the next stop. You're repeating yourself " She took the subway here only/just to get off at the next stop."
Thank you

So just to get things right?
1 You have living proof of the damage smoking can do to you if front of you. (If you're mom is talking to you about herself and she's standing in front of you)
Is that how you'd say it or some other way?
Thank you
