Today I have tried to use some verbs like "clutch", "snatch", "grab", "hold" and some others in my sentences. Would you please correct my grammar and punctuation?
1. I slipped as I climbed on an old beech, but somehow I managed to clutch at a branch, which bent under my weight but did not break.
2. Because of the party outside, I barely snatched an hour or two of sleep.
3. The thug was cruel, and he punched the old woman in the stomach, leaving her lying on the pavement, crying and clutching her stomach.
4. The drunkard wobbled down the street, clutching a wine bottle in his hand.
5. The boy started to play with a loaded pistol, and the father managed to snatch it from his hand before a tragedy could happen.
6. During the long journey, he was plagued by mosquitoes and lice and only occasionally managed to grab a few hours of sleep.
7. Children panicked when they saw a wolf and held firmly on to their mother.
8. A robber on a motorbike snatched Anna's bag, but then he threw it to the ground when she shouted at him she was sick and jobless.
9. As the vicar was walking towards the church, a beggar grabbed his hand, fell on his knee and pleaded with him to give him some food.
10. The old woman stumbled, and Peter held out his arm, giving her an encouraging smile.
