When you are not busy, would you please explain how to request sentence corrections along with detailed grammatical analysis and use of the words in them? How good is this attempt?

1. Would you please check and explain these sentences? Which ones make sense? Which ones are good written and which ones poorly written? (Then the sentences are given, and I neglected the second "are".)

Which ones=which sentences


Thanky you.

... Which ones are [STRIKE]good[/STRIKE] well written and which ones poorly written?
[STRIKE]Thanky you[/STRIKE].
It's OK.

If you're talking about posting in this forum, we want no more than one sentence per thread.

But this is not a parallel structure, so how can "are" in "which ones are good" apply to "poorly written"?

I'm not sure I understand your confusion. You wrote "Which ones are good (sic) written and which ones poorly written?" In full, that would be a parallel construction, as:

Which ones are well written and which ones are poorly written?"

It is possible to omit the second "ones" and retain the meaning.
