Here are a few more sentences in which I have tried to use different verbs. Would you please correct my mistakes?
1. Many years ago, Peter was tricked by a conman who had sold him a purported permit for his market stall although no permit was needed.
2. I was at the party where I made the acquaintance of a large number of people. When I came outside, my pockets were bulging with visiting cards.
3. His recent divorce and financial difficulties have started to tell on him. His face was pale and his eyes bloodshot all the time.
4. Rays of sunlight spilled through the open window and tinged the room in golden yellow.
5. Private education in many countries is still the preserve of the middle and upper classes.
6. John felt as if he has spent the last years on a never-ending merry-go-round. His job was boring, low paid, and did not give him much spare time.
7. As Anna was walking home late in the evening, an owl hooted, and it gave her goosebumps. Behind her, leaves rustled and branches creaked. She panicked and wished to run, but her legs felt heavy like lead.
9. John felt that someone was in the room. An inner voice told him to duck, and as he did, he heard the shot, and the mirror above him exploded into shards.
10. Anna opened the window, and her eyes rested on a macabre procession down in the street: the Prime Minister and hundreds of members of parliament in shackles, in rags, and without shoes being led by a noisy crowd demanding justice and promising revenge.
