That's a lot of sentences to check. The teachers don't have that much free time on their hands to go over them all in one sitting. Maybe you ought to consider breaking them up into smaller portions (of six sentences) ?

(just a suggestion that might speed things up for you

)

Just a couple of observations.

1) Some of your sentences were awkwardly constructed and sounded like finger nails on the blackboard.

2) Therefore, you have way too many questions to sort through.

3) You don't seem to be able to absorb the answers given to you.

ask oneself = wonder

security for rent

food goes down the wrong tube

not so hard

I don't understand the pretty/potential sentence

weight to be tax free

stupid to have lent

it's normal to ask

Mr. Pernickity is right. Try to keep your posts to 6 or 8 sentences. You'll get better response from more people.

I've looked through them and some look iffy, could you just quickly go through them, I've made it clear and double spaced. Put a OK next the the ones that are fine and some have alternatives. If you don't mind.
