I urgently need you to check these sentences. I included my doubts in parentheses. Thank you.
1) The bride, as red as a rose, has entered into (?) the hall (OR the hall /without into)
2) The ice split as (?) the sound of thunder and the helmsman steered them through.
3) A group of singers and musicians goes before her nodding their (?) heads.
1) either: has entered the hall OR has entered into the hall. I prefer the first.
2) OK. British = spilt / American = spilled
3) nodding, shaking, moving?

Sure, I can help you check these sentences and provide explanations for your doubts. Let's go through each sentence one by one:
1) The bride, as red as a rose, has entered into (?) the hall (OR the hall /without into)
It seems like you are unsure of whether to include the word "into" or not. To determine which option is correct, we need to understand the context of the sentence. If the bride is entering and physically moving into the hall, then you would include "into." If she is already present in the hall, then you would omit "into." Without further context, it's hard to say for sure which option is correct. To check, you can think about the situation and the intended meaning of the sentence. Once you have a clear understanding of the context, you can choose the appropriate option.
2) The ice split as (?) the sound of thunder, and the helmsman steered them through.
It seems like you're unsure about how to complete the sentence after the phrase "as." You can choose between using "as if" or "as though" to indicate the similarity to the sound of thunder. Both options are correct, but they convey slightly different nuances. "As if" suggests a hypothetical comparison, while "as though" implies a stronger simile or comparison. Consider the intended meaning and tone of the sentence to decide which option fits best.
3) A group of singers and musicians goes before her nodding their (?) heads.
It seems like you're unsure whether to use "their" or some other pronoun for the group of singers and musicians. To determine the correct pronoun, we need to identify the noun it is referring to. In this case, the noun is "heads." Since "heads" is a plural noun, the correct pronoun to use is "their." "Their" is the plural possessive pronoun that refers to multiple people or things. If you wanted to refer to a singular noun, you would use "his" or "her" instead.
Remember, the best way to check your doubts is to consider the context and the intended meaning of the sentence. By doing so, you can make an informed decision about the correct options.
