Lesson 3: Sorry, sir. Lesson 3: Sorry, sir.

A man went to the cloakroom to get his umbrella with a Tticket. A man went to the cloakroom to get his umbrella with a ticket.

"Ticket" shouldn't be capitalized unless you are referring to a specific ticket with a name.

A counter workworker at the counter gave the umbrella to him, but he said that it iwasn't his. A worker at the counter gave the umbrella to him, but he said that it wasn't his.

"Worker at the counter" sounds better to me. "Counter attendant" is also fine.

The counter worker gave another umbrella to him. The worker gave another umbrella to him.

He happily geot his (own) umbrella (back). He happily got his (own) umbrella (back).

What is a cloakroom? What is a cloakroom?

It is a room that savetores people's clothes or things. It is a room that stores people's clothes or things.

You could also remove "clothes" since that's already included in "things."

A teacher asked Dave if the shirt iwas his, but Dave said no. A teacher asked Dave if the shirt was his, but Dave said no.

For the tense change, see the overall comment.

Dave said p, "Perhaps the shirt is Tim's." Dave said, "Perhaps the shirt is Tim's."

Or: "Dave said that perhaps the shirt was Tim's."

Tim said this iat it was his. Tim said that it was his.

"This is his" sounds like it's a quote of what Tim said, and that it's therefore not Tim's.

The teacher gave the shirt to Tim, and said "Here you are." The teacher gave the shirt to Tim and said "Here you are."

Dave said that it was perhaps it is Tim's, so the teacher gave it to Tim. Dave said that it was perhaps Tim's, so the teacher gave it to Tim.

What idoes "Hhere you are." mean? What does "here you are" mean?

Or: "What is 'here you are' used for?"

It's for giveing something to other people. It's for giving something to other people.

Lesson 19 Thired and thirsty Lesson 19 Tired and thirsty

A mother asked her children what the matter is?was. A mother asked her children what the matter was.

In addition to the tense change, an embedded question does not use inversion.

The children told their mother that they awere tired and thirsty. The children told their mother that they were tired and thirsty.

The mother asked them to sit thein their seats seat and buyought some ice- creams tofor them. The mother asked them to sit in their seats seat and bought some ice creams for them.

"Buy" sounds like it's part of what is being asked of the children: "The mother asked them to sit… and [to] buy…"

She asked them to sit and giave the ice- creams to them. She asked them to sit and gave the ice creams to them.

Again, using the correct tense is especially important here, because using "give" makes it sound like it's part of what is being asked of the children.
