I'm so tired today that sleepiness crept through me now, two hours earlier than my daily sleeping time.


I'm so tired today that sleepiness crept through me nowI already want to sleep, two hours earlier than my daily sleeping usual bedtime. I'm so tired today that I already want to sleep, two hours earlier than my usual bedtime.

Saying that you're "sleepy" after already saying you're "tired" sounds a little redundant - you could maybe change this to "I'm so tired today that I already want to sleep", OR specify why you're sleepy in the first part, like "I've been so busy today that I'm already sleepy" / "I woke up so early today that I'm already sleepy"

I'm so tired today that sleepiness crept through me now, two hours earlier than my daily sleeping normal bedtime. I'm so tired today that sleepiness crept through me now, two hours earlier than my normal bedtime.

I'm so tired today that sleepiness crept through me now, two hours earlier than my daily sleeping time. I'm so tired today that sleepiness crept through me now, two hours earlier than my daily sleeping time.

“Heed” is an uncommon word — “follow” is much more common.

1. hold up

… holding up the experiment

She always hold up her daughter as models of good behavior.


She always holds up her daughter as modelsan exemplar of good behavior. She always holds up her daughter as an exemplar of good behavior.

"holds up" in this context sounds a bit strange. We might just say "describes" for a more neutral tone, or maybe "boasts" if she's proud of how well-behaved her daughter is and wants to express that to other people ("she always boasts about how well-behaved her daughter is")

2. wield

I like that snappy slogan,; it's easy to memorize. I like that snappy slogan; it's easy to memorize.

She is such a snappy dresser!


She is such a snappy dresser! She is such a snappy dresser!

This is perfectly correct/understandable, though I don't think I've heard anyone actually describe a person's fashion as 'snappy' in real life - something like "She's so stylish!" would be a bit more natural, at least in spoken conversation.

4. precede

5. sue


This sentence has been marked as perfect!

6. ariticulate


6. ariticulate 6. articulate

It's hard to articulate my feelings,; please give me some time. It's hard to articulate my feelings; please give me some time.

7. orient


This sentence has been marked as perfect!

The target group of that company has oriented from children to adults.


The target group of that company has oriented from children to adults. The target group of that company has oriented from children to adults.

Not quite sure what this means - is it trying to say that the target group has changed from children to adults? "Target group" already implies orientation, so using both is redundant. Saying something is "child-oriented" or "oriented towards children" = aimed at or focused on children. "Orient" can also be used to mean finding/establishing one's sense of direction, e.g. "When I first arrived at this building, it took me a few minutes to orient myself"

Why can't I use would there!!!!!!! Why can't I use would there!!!!!!!

'Would' also works. Actually, I'd be more likely to use 'would' rather than 'should' here, too. I'm not entirely sure how to put the nuance into words, but I think 'should' puts a little more emphasis on the fact that the speaker feels that the committee's belief is unfounded/irrational. 'Would' puts more emphasis on the fact that the speaker doesn't understand why the committee would think that.
