Can you check the grammar in the following statements I need to prepare for tomorrow, please? I just want to make sure that the use of the prepositions and pronouns is correct.

Thank you very much in advance.

1)A simile is a stated comparison between two dissimilar things (made explicit: a synonym?) through the use of a word of comparison.
2)The poet considers the wind like (or as) a guest, a timid mad who is tapping at the poet’s door in order to be let in.
3)The wind is presented like a guest / the poet is described as a guest (is the use of like, as correct? She, like a host, invited him to enter OR She invited him to enter like a host?
4)She couldn’t offer him a chair because it was like offering a sofa to the air OR to offer the wind a chair was as impossible as to offer a sofa to the air.
5)The poet is the host and the wind is the guest. (is the meaning of the two words correct?)
6)He tapped at the poet’s door (can you replace tapped with “hit lightly?)7)The narrator can be a first-person narrator: he is a character in the story and uses the first person voice (is it correct to use the colon?)

1) The grammar in this statement is correct. The use of the preposition "between" and the pronouns "two" and "a" is also accurate.

2) The grammar in this statement needs a minor adjustment. Instead of saying "The poet considers the wind like (or as) a guest," it should be "The poet considers the wind *to be* like *a guest*." The inclusion of "to be" makes the sentence clearer. The use of "like" as a preposition is correct, and it can be followed by "a guest" as a noun phrase.

3) The grammar in this statement is correct. Both "like" and "as" can be used to make comparisons. In this case, they are used correctly to describe the wind as a guest. The sentence "She invited him to enter like a host" is also grammatically correct.

4) The grammar in this statement needs some adjustment. Instead of saying "because it was like offering a sofa to the air," it should be "because *offering him a chair was like offering a sofa to the air*." This change makes the sentence more clear and cohesive. Additionally, the phrase "to offer the wind a chair" could also be used, but it requires the verb "to" before "offer."

5) The grammar in this statement is correct. The meaning of the words "host" and "guest" is accurately used to describe the poet and the wind, respectively.

6) The grammar in this statement is correct. However, if you want to replace "tapped" with "hit lightly," you can say "He *hit lightly* at the poet's door."

7) The grammar in this statement is correct. Using a colon in this context is appropriate, as it introduces an explanation or a series of examples. A colon can be used to indicate that the narrator can be a first-person narrator and then elaborate on what that means.
