Teacher Re: can anyone help me? Can you send the composition via email? I cannot correct your preposition, without context.
For example : " A ghost appeared in her bedroom " is correct. In contrast, "A ghost was appeared in her bedroom " is not correct.

Re: can anyone help me? A ghost appeared in her bedroom. She was scared. She didn't know what to do. She lay still, petrified. She waited for what was coming. She waited, feeling a terror such as she had never known before, her sweat soaking the sheets she was lying on. Time seemed to stand still as she awaited her fate.
