make it clear/clarify/commonplace/sunburn

Question

Now I am very clear with these sentences.

I should make it clear/clarify to the students that I am here to teach them, and not to be a servent for them.

Yesterday night while I was wandering, I stubbed on a stone and it damaged my right foot toes. [Do you have any other good word other than "damaged"?]

I don't leave my home during the day because it is very hot outside. I may sunburn if I go out.

Ansering to the same question again and again, now this question become a commonplace(not special) one for me.

Please correct my sentences.

The same question being answered again and again, it has become a commonplace one for me.

Yes, though it is not the best sentence-- 'being' is rather awkward. The reason I used it is that the implied subject of the dependent verb must be the same as the subject of the main verb:

[The story] being told again and again, the story has become...
