1) You forgot to mention the fact that Robinson keeps himself busy by writing a diary using the paper, pen, and ink he finds on the wrecked ship.
To check this sentence, you can make sure that the subject and verb agree in number. "Robinson" is the subject and "keeps" is the verb, both in the third person singular form, which is correct. Additionally, you can verify that the use of commas is appropriate to separate the items in the list (paper, pen, and ink).
2) He realizes his gunpowder is running out.
To check this sentence, you can verify that the subject "he" and the verb "realizes" agree in number, which they do in this case.
3) The 18th-century novels were written in first or third-person narration. There were specific references to the names of countries, towns, and also detailed descriptions of interiors.
To check these sentences, you can ensure that the verb tenses are consistent throughout the paragraph. In the first sentence, "were written" is the past tense and is appropriate for referring to novels from the 18th century. In the second sentence, "were" is also in the past tense to maintain consistency. Additionally, you can make sure that the punctuation and use of words such as "also" are correctly used to convey the intended meaning.
4) His nose is small but not flat, like that of the Negroes.
To check this sentence, you can ensure that the use of commas is correct, separating the description of the nose and the comparison with the noses of Negroes. However, note that the term "Negroes" is considered outdated and offensive. It is more appropriate to use terms such as "black people" or "African Americans" to refer to individuals of African descent.
5) Be consistent in the use of tenses within your paragraph. If you start describing the features of the novel using the past, you can't switch to the present in the next sentence.

6) The narrator used first-person or third-person narration to ensure the realism of the novel.
To check this sentence, you can make sure that the subject "the narrator" and the verb "used" agree in number, which they do in this case. Also, note that the word "employed" can be used as a synonym for "used" in this context.
7) The main features of 18th-century novels were: the author employed first person or third-person narration.
To check this sentence, you can ensure that the verb tense "were" is consistent with the reference to 18th-century novels. Additionally, you can verify that the punctuation and structure of the sentence effectively convey the main features of 18th-century novels.
Based on these checks, the sentences appear to be mostly correct with some minor adjustments.
