Dear Teachers and mothertongue speakers
I had to replace some ordinary verbs with some phrasal verbs but I didn't have any clues to help me...I tried to do the test anyway...can you please tell me if the sentence make sense and if a native speaker would ever say them this way?
1)You should complete this form and return it with you payment.
And I wrote: You have to fill in this form and send it back with your payment.
2)My father has abandoned his attempt to get the university to abolish tuition fees.
And I wrote: My dad has given up going to university to do away with the tuition fees.
3) It was necessary to reduce our spending after we discovered that oru rent was increasing.
And I wrote: We had to cut back on our spending after we found out that our rent was going up.
4)Please observe local customs at the temple and remove your shoes before entering.
And I wrote: Please pay attention to local customs at the temple and take off your shoes before going in (walking in).
Thanks for your help.
