Can you check these sentences I wrote on Robinson Crusoe? Thank you very much.

1) When Crusoe woke up, he found the weather clear and the storm over. The ship had been carried by the tide almost to the shore.
2) He began to wish to board the ship so that he could save some of the things that he could later use.
3) Later, at the tide's ebb, he found that he was within a quarter of a mile from the ship and he realized that if they had all stayed on board that they would all have been safe .
4) This distressed him so much that he began to cry, but he quickly quit and began to make plans to get to the ship.
5) After surmounting many difficulties in getting to the ship, he pulled himself up by means of a hanging rope. He went into the ship’s cabin.
6) There was a great deal of water in the ship’s hold. But the cabin and the storerooms were dry. He searched for all the unspoiled provisions.
7) The boxes of food had not been damaged by the water. He found many things, including biscuits and rum, which he wanted to take ashore.

All acceptable. #2 might be a little less stilted with "that he could use later. (adverbs often go after the verb)

#3 could use a comma after quit and before and "he quickly quit, and began to make..."

Sra

2 would be smoother if you simplified it a little: He wished he could board the ship so he could save some of the useful things.

3 ... within a quarter of a mile of the ship, and he realized that if they had all stayed on board, they would have been safe.
(to reduce wordiness and to get the comma in there)

6 ... in the ship's hold, but the ...

Everything else is fine.

1) The first sentence is grammatically correct. It describes the scene when Crusoe woke up to find clear weather and the storm had passed. The ship had been carried close to the shore by the tide.

2) The second sentence is also correct grammatically. It mentions Crusoe's desire to board the ship in order to save some useful items for later use.

3) The third sentence contains a few issues. Firstly, there is a redundancy in saying "at the tide's ebb" and then mentioning being within a quarter of a mile from the ship. Secondly, it is not clear who "they" refers to when it says "if they had all stayed on board." It would be better to specify that it refers to Crusoe and his companions. The sentence could be rephrased as: "Later, as the tide receded, Crusoe realized that he was within a quarter of a mile from the ship and that if he and his companions had stayed on board, they would have been safe."

4) The fourth sentence is grammatically correct. It describes that Crusoe was distressed by the realization mentioned in the previous sentence and that he began to make plans to reach the ship.

5) The fifth sentence is correct grammatically. It mentions Crusoe overcoming various difficulties to reach the ship and pulling himself up using a hanging rope. He then entered the ship's cabin.

6) The sixth sentence is grammatically correct. It describes the condition of the ship, with water in the hold but the cabin and storerooms remaining dry. Crusoe searches for unspoiled provisions.

7) The seventh sentence is also correct grammatically. It states that the boxes of food were not damaged by the water and Crusoe found various items including biscuits and rum that he wanted to take ashore.

Overall, your sentences effectively convey the events and details related to Robinson Crusoe discovering the ship and his actions afterward. Well done!
