I forgot to include the following statements. Thank you very much!!
8.He is linked/attached to the past
9.He gives this description of his father to underline that (or the fact that?) he is the only one able (or who is able) to govern
10. In front of the crowd (?) his words sound ineffectual.
11. He is a clown dressed up as a king (and not like)
12. He made the action of killing Caesar but this was in direct conflict with his heart (better: he killed Caesar in direct conflict with the direction of his heart).
13. Unlike Brutus, Antony is able to persuade the crowd through language (also:: by his words, through his rhetoric). In contrast/on the other hand, Brutus fails to persuade the mob that he had acted (or simple past? Acted) for the good of Rome.
8. linked
9. ... to emphasize that he is the only one able to govern.
10. comma after "crowd" -- rest is fine
11. Normally, we use "like" when it's not followed by a clause; use "as" or "as if" or any other variation when it's followed by a clause. (A clause has a subject and verb in it.)
12. The phrasing in parentheses is better.
13. "by his words" is best; "On the other hand," is better; "had acted" is correct.
No problem! Here are the corrections and explanations for each statement:
8. He is linked/attached to the past.
Explanation: This statement conveys that the person being referred to has a strong connection or association with the past.
9. He gives this description of his father to underline that (or the fact that?) he is the only one able (or who is able) to govern.
Explanation: The intended meaning can be conveyed by rephrasing it as "He gives this description of his father to underline the fact that he is the only one who is able to govern." This emphasizes that the person being discussed possesses the ability to govern, as highlighted through the description of his father.
10. In front of the crowd (?) his words sound ineffectual.
Explanation: The question mark suggests uncertainty about whether "in front of the crowd" should be included. Assuming that "in front of the crowd" is relevant to the sentence, it can be revised to "In front of the crowd, his words sound ineffectual." This implies that when speaking in the presence of a group of people, his words lack impact or fail to produce the desired effect.
11. He is a clown dressed up as a king (and not like).
Explanation: To correct this sentence, you can remove the word "like" at the end. The revised version would be: "He is a clown dressed up as a king." This implies that the person in question is pretending to be someone of great importance but is actually behaving in a foolish or ridiculous manner.
12. He made the action of killing Caesar but this was in direct conflict with his heart (better: he killed Caesar in direct conflict with the direction of his heart).
Explanation: To improve the sentence, you can replace "He made the action of killing Caesar" with "He killed Caesar." Additionally, you can further clarify by stating "He killed Caesar in direct conflict with the direction of his heart." This emphasizes that the action taken went against the true desires or beliefs of the individual.
13. Unlike Brutus, Antony is able to persuade the crowd through language (also: by his words, through his rhetoric). In contrast/on the other hand, Brutus fails to persuade the mob that he had acted (or simple past? Acted) for the good of Rome.
Explanation: The correction can be made by replacing "Brutus fails to persuade the mob that he had acted" with "Brutus failed to persuade the mob that he had acted." This sentence highlights the contrast between Antony, who successfully persuades the crowd through his language or rhetoric, and Brutus, who fails to convince the mob that his actions were for the greater good of Rome.
