Can you ckeck if all the sentences are correct????
#'s 1 is fine
2 ( can not omit "doing")
3. You can use "were established" or "were found" instead of sprang up if you wish.
4. is good.
5. I think you can say "becomes" or "is" a rebellious child.
6. I would rephrase this way, Although innocent, Oliver is arrested for stealing a handkerchief. Then, he is taken in by Mr Brownlow, who recognizes him as his dead friend's child. He is kidnapped by Bill
Sykes, the lover of Brownlow's housekeeper, and forced to aid in a burglary where he is wounded in his arm.
Again, he is rescued by a middle class family who shows kindness and affection towards him. Investigations are made about who the boy is and it is discovered that he has noble origins
7. You need to change the "He" that begins the second sentence because the reader does not know to whom that refers ( Monk or in).
1) The sentence is grammatically correct, but the use of "(?)" suggests uncertainty about the meaning and symbolism of Oliver's name and the reversal of his fortune. To explain the symbolism of Oliver's name, you can mention that the name "Twist" suggests a turning or twisting of fate, reflecting the challenges and unexpected turns of Oliver's life. Oliver's poor background and the hardships he faces are also seen as a reversal of fortune, as he eventually finds a better life.
2) The sentence is grammatically correct, but removing "doing" would make it incomplete. The phrase "in return for doing hard physical work" explains the purpose of workhouses, where impoverished individuals were provided shelter and basic necessities in exchange for performing physical labor.
3) The sentence is grammatically correct. However, instead of using "sprang up," you could consider using "emerged" or "arose" as alternative synonyms.
4) The sentence is grammatically correct. The phrase "forced to endure" emphasizes that Oliver has no choice but to experience the cruelties of workhouse life.
5) The sentence is grammatically correct. However, instead of "turns out to be," you could use "proves to be" to convey the discovery or realization that Oliver is a rebellious child. Additionally, "apprencie" should be corrected to "apprentice."
Regarding your second question, "quarrel" represents an argument or disagreement. You may consider using "engages in a quarrel" or "gets into a quarrel" for clarity.
Regarding "runs away to London," the sentence could be improved by adding "he" before "runs away."
For "gang of young pickpockets," it is recommended to add "a" before "gang" to indicate that it is a specific group.
6) The sentence is grammatically correct. However, "he is taken in" could be modified to "he is taken in by Mr. Brownlow" for clarity. Additionally, "apprencie" should be corrected to "apprentice." For "fellow apprencie," consider using "fellow apprentice" or "another apprentice."
Regarding "commits burglary," you may consider using "participate in a burglary" or "engage in a burglary," as they better convey the involvement in the criminal act.
Regarding "during the job," the sentence could be modified to provide a clearer noun to refer to. For example, "during the burglary" or "during the criminal act."
For "and wounded," you may consider adding "he is" before "wounded" to maintain parallel structure with the preceding clauses.
7) The sentence is grammatically correct. However, "is discovered to have noble origins" could be modified to "it is discovered that he comes from a noble lineage" for clarity. Additionally, "happily everafter" should be corrected to "happily ever after."
Overall, most of the sentences are correct with minor amendments for clarity and grammar.
