Answer 1

1) Along the wall in front of the left window there is a book closet (correction: book shelf) <b>If you are going to use "bookshelf" in that sentence (and it IS the correct word!), then be sure to spell it as one word. I have a question about the first nine words, though. If there is a wall <u>in front of</u> a window, isn't the window obscured? Where is the bookshelf? Under the window? Left of the window? Where?</b>

2)What distance do you walk to school every day? OR How far do you walk to school every day? <b>The second sentence is better, smoother.</b>

3) They have a 15-minute break. So have we. (or So do we) Which form is correct "have" or "do"? <b>Since you have used "have" in the first sentence, then "have is correct to use in the second sentence.</b>

4) I arrive at home OR I arrive home <b>Either one works; I prefer the second.</b>

5) I listen to the lessons OR I listen to my teachers' explanations? <b>Either one works fine.</b>

6) I get/take/catch the bus home (Are they all possible?) I arrive at the bus terminal at 7 o'clock. <b>Any of those verbs are fine, yes.</b>
