3] It's necessarry that he should be there at 7.30 PM.

5] The book is read/reads smoothly. (is there any bigger difference between these two?)
Thank you in advance.

1] As a child,I'd always swallow the toothpaste instead of spitting it out when I was brushing my teeth. This is poor sentence structure. The final clause should be closer to the beginning, so that the primary subjects are defined more quickly.
