English Sentence Structure Exercise

Remember the last time i came back to Truly Asia i spent a whole day marking 80+ exam scripts?

This time i got arrowed to type out some English exercises. Got it done in 10 minutes, so i thought i'd spice them up a bit since they were so generic and boring. (And i was bored.) I kept the original sentence structures (as much as possible), just changed some names and made things a bit more interesting for the poor high schoolers who have to plow through them when school reopens. Help me vet the questions, ok?
