I plan on importing the text below into my Anki deck.

Please correct all the expressions.

I want to make sure these sentences are correct because they will show up frequently during my Anki review. Anki is an electronic flashcard system that helps with memorization.

What is the meaning of this sentence? You can rewrite it so that you can understand it better.

Q: This is gonna look really bad for me.

A: This is going to make me look really bad.

Corrections

Please correct all the expressions.

This sentence isn't wrong but kind of sounds awkward or kind of stiff, like you see on a worksheet.

I'm not sure if the first one was wrong, but it sounded a little odd.

Great Job! I also use corrections from this site to input on Anki!

Thanks! Could you give me a sentence that has a softer tone?

I can't really think of any without a slightly different connotation, but there are:

All the following expressions need to be corrected. (This one sounds very passive-aggressive)

Could you please correct all the following expressions? (This is a request though)

Please correct all of the following expressions. (Doesn't really have a different tone than the original)

These would all work and have the same meaning as the original, but it also depends on who you're talking to and how passive/direct you need/want to be. I hoped that this helped!

I feel that the last sentence sounds less rigid than the original one in that "of the following" in the sentence enables readers to understand the meaning with less effort. Your explanation enables me to get a better language awareness.
