Thank you very much for your reply.
I actually have all the words for a sentence and I have to put them in the right order.
For example. white, good, ointment, this, is, fairly which I ordered into the first sentence written. So it goes for the other sentences.
I guess I must not add words or change the ones given. I am a bit dubious when it comes to the 1st, 4th

BergiI guess I must not add words or change the ones given.
Well, during holiday is not natural, and all the doesn’t work in #7 at all.

Well yes, it's my bad because I forgot to write "the". It is also in the words given.

The words for number seven are: all, the, better, you'll, get, faster . Could you please help me rewrite it?
Thanks a lot for your answers

You’ll get better all the faster is possible, come to think of it.

I fail to see the point in such exercises, though.

Alright!
What about the words very,patient,worried,about,I,am,genuinely,this I am thinking about: I am genuinely worried about this very patient, or I am very geniunely worried about this patient, or I am genuinely very worried about this patient.
That's all I can think about. Which do you think would be the best choice?

"...this very patient" is possible, but less likely than "genuinely very worried."

"...very genuinely" is very unnatural.

okay, thank you Emotion: smile
What about: Faster you'll get all the better. Does it sound right to you?
0
"... the faster you'll get all better" - but this is a fragment.

Can it also be a separate sentence? I think it sounds quite right.
