Grammar
Three sentences
Can a English native tell me what is the matter with the grammar?
One : They look the same in some respect. They both have brown hair, blue eyes, squared jawline.
Two : From his demeanor, you can tell he's shy.
Three : She was so shockingly pretty that I couldn't stop staring.
Thank you teacher
