Default make a sentence

Dear teachers,



May I ask you a big favour ? Would you please give me some sentences which include the following clauses / sentences. (If I ask you sometimes to make a sentence for me with either collocations, compound nouns or adjectives it is because I have come across them without them being in a particular context and I want to know how an English person would use them.I want to assure you that this is not a homework.)

1) “He kicked the door open”

2) “I fail to understand your point”

3) "I'm all for honesty." (why should a person make such a statement ?)
"Are you really?"

4) “He is becoming angrier every moment” (correct ?)

5) “I’m not very good at games”


Thank you very much for your help.

Best wishes and happy new year,
Hela

Hello twostep,

What I meant is if a native speaker of English could help me use these expressions in a full sentence which would have a clear meaning. I also wanted to stress the fact that this is not a homework, i.e., I'm not trying to get it done by somebody else like some people might think.

Kind regards,
Hela
