sentences grammatically acceptable or not
Hi!
I need some help...Are these sentences grammatically acceptable?
a) I am not used to have to say not
b) I'd be careful who you said that to
c) I was amazed by the fact that Peter should arrive late
d) Peter was sure that Penny should finish the project on time
e) They were cruel doing such a thing
f) He was uncertain where to park his car
g) He is hopeless at to fix things
h) That film was fascinating to watch
i) They were indignant that happened
j) They were insistent that all details should be specified in the contract
In my opinion, I would change:
a) I am not used to having to say no
d) Peter was sure that Penny finished the project on time
g) He is hopeless at fixing things
f) and h) are ok for me
What do you think?

Hi guys,
I added a few comments to Paco's version, in pink.
a) I am not used to having to say not. More natural is 'I am not used to having to say no'. Why would you say 'not'?
b) I'd be careful (who)/whom you said that to.
