Hi,

I have paraphrased a few sentences. I would appreciate if you corrected my sentences paying also attention to commas (I am not sure where they are necessary)

Efficiently as we all work, they never praise us.
Stop spreading gossip, or else we’ll never talk to you again. I prefer the comma.
Much as I respect Mrs Brown, I don’t always agree with her.
~~We’ll walk with the torches turned off lest no one might see/sees/will see(?) us.~~
We’ll walk with the torches turned off lest somebody might see/sees/will see us.Just 'sees' is the commonest.

However hard Mark works, his employer never gives him any bonuses.

Seeing that they are very obstinate, we we won't waste our time trying to convince them.
No matter how incompetent she was, the boss never fired her.
Much as I like having fun at the seaside, I haven't had any for ages.
Courteous as Gloria is, she can also be very unkind.

Clive
