Writing well is not easy, but it helps a person grow intellectually.

Now you write the rest, and we'll check them for you.

1) the author had difficulty writing

You haven't followed directions:

1. ... using a form of one of the following linking verbs in each sentence: smell, sound, feel, taste, grow.

2. Use at least one predicate noun or predicate adjective in each sentence.

Well ... if the instructions mean that the predicate noun or adjective needs to come right after the linking verb, then my sentence is incorrect, too.

Try this:

Writing well is not easy, but a student grows stronger while learning to do so. (Bold is the linking verb; underlined is the pred adjective.)

Certainly! Here's an example sentence using the linking verb "sound" and a predicate adjective:

Writing can sound challenging at first, but with practice, it can become more manageable.

To come up with these sentences, you can start by brainstorming different nouns or adjectives that are related to the given topic. Then, think about how each of these nouns or adjectives can be connected to one of the linking verbs. In this case, we used the adjective "challenging" to describe the verb "sound" and convey the difficulty of writing initially.
