Please check these sentences and amend if there are mistakes or misuse.
I added abstract noun phrase to my list of writing English after I had studied its principle lately.
By the way, I didn't change some of these sentences (which are gerund) to passive tense because it seems awkward.
Thank you in advance :-D
