"Recite" means to say something out loud from memory—the focus is on speaking them out loud. Is that what you mean? Or do you just mean to memorize the words and practice using them?

OS: OS:

"OS" as in "original sentence"? I'm a bit confused by this. Especially since my computer science brain immediately wants to read this as "operating system".

Isabel had scrapped the old donkeys and engines. Isabel had scrapped the old donkeys and engines.

Isabel had scrapped the old donkeys and engines. Isabel had scrapped the old donkeys and engines.

Past participle of scrap is spelled "scrapped." "Scraped" with one p is the past participle of "scrape."

Isabel had scrapped the old donkeys and engines. Isabel had scrapped the old donkeys and engines.

I did not know that "donkey" could refer to a type of engine. Is it an older type of engine? Either way, to "scrape" (past tense: "scraped") is to damage something, usually by moving something sharp across it. Especially metals. My mind thinks of a piece of chalk going across a blackboard and making that horrible, dreadful noise. But to "scrap" something (past tense: "scrapped") can mean to cancel or take something down, or to break something apart (as you might do with an old engine). In this case, we may also add "for parts" if, well, someone is trying to get parts from it. "Isabel scrapped the old engine for parts."

There are scraps of the crashed airplane. There are scraps of the crashed airplane.

...where? It sounds kind of weird to just say "there is/are X" without saying where, unless maybe it's an abstract thing (e.g. "There is an even prime number."). It would suffice to say "There are scrapes of the crashed plane on the ground / all over the ground."

There are scraps of the crashed airplane. There are scraps of the crashed airplane.

This is a grammatically correct sentence, but note that the usage of "scrap" here is as a noun, whereas the original sentence used it as a verb. "to scrap" something means: 1) to cause it to be turned into scraps, in a literal sense, e.g., "The car needs to be scrapped." (sent to the junkyard) 2) to get rid of something or to abandon an idea/plan, this is a more metaphorical sense, e.g., "We had to scrap our plans for the weekend because the kids are sick." The OS uses it in that second sense, meaning to get rid of something.

Good, here you're using it as a verb in that second sense, just needs a spelling fix.

Dreadfully& & appallingly Dreadfully & appallingly

These words are quite different from each other. The adjectives "Dreadful" and "Appalling" have similar meanings, they both refer to something very bad. To be more precise, "dreadful" means that something is awful/bad, whereas "appalling" means that something is shocking to you, but specifically in a bad way. Their adverbial forms are not interchangeable. "Dreadfully" can be used in a literal sense: "You are behaving dreadfully" / "The house was dreadfully damaged" Or it can be a neutral intensifier, like "very": "She was dreadfully happy" / "I am dreadfully sorry" = "I am very happy" / "I am very sorry" "Appallingly," by contrast, always carries its inherent meaning, and it is not interchangeable with "very." So it can only be used with negative things, and it always carries the meaning that something was shocking. "The house was appallingly dilapidated" does not mean the house was very dilapidated. It means the house was so dilapidated that it shocked you. "I am appallingly excited." ❌ This is wrong because being excited is a good thing. It would only work in a context where being excited is so bad that it's shocking. Perhaps if someone is excited that someone is going to die, then you could describe them as appallingly excited: "When we learned that Grandma didn't have much time left, all John could talk about was the inheritance. He seemed appallingly excited." A final note—Using "dreadfully" to mean "very" is pretty old-fashioned. I recommend you use "awfully" instead. "I am awfully happy." ✅

Dreadfully& & appallingly Dreadfully & appallingly

I am dreadfully happy and appalling excited:) I am dreadfully happy and appalling excited:)

"Appalling" should be "appallingly" because it's used as an adverb here, not an adjective. Also, "appalling" (and, to a lesser extend, "dreadful") sound weird when applied to the words "happy" and "excited" because they generally have a negative connotation, especially the former. For instance: "This kitchen is appallingly dirty."

I am dreadfully happy and appallingly excited :) I am dreadfully happy and appallingly excited :)

See above comment for why "appallingly excited" doesn't work.

I am dreadfully happy and appallingly excited :) I am dreadfully happy and appallingly excited :)

Don't know what "dreadfully happy" or "appallingly excited" would entail, but it grammatically works!

Little chaps. Little chaps.

This is not a full sentence. Also, note that "chap" is probably specific to UK English (in the US, you don't hear people calling boys "chaps").

LWhat a bunch of cheeky little chaps. What a bunch of cheeky little chaps.

Turned it into a sentence. Note that calling boys "chaps" sounds like something a grandpa would say.

He hovered before a stall inside the station. He hovered before a stall inside the station.

This sentence is unclear. What do you mean by "stall"? Like a restroom stall?

He hovered beforein front of a stall inside the station. He hovered in front of a stall inside the station.

Somebody went sneakingsnuck up to the playground and yelled. Somebody snuck up to the playground and yelled.

Somebody went sneakinged up to the playground and yelled. Somebody sneaked up to the playground and yelled.

Somebody went sneaking up to the playground and yelled. Somebody went sneaking up to the playground and yelled.

This sentence works, though it feels a little strange and it's hard for me to describe why. Maybe: "somebody snuck up to the playground and then started yelling."

6. Lap up of 6. Lap up

I've never heard "lap up of" but "to lap up" means to eat something enthusiastically or with vigor.

6. Lap up of 6. Lap up

I've never heard of "lap up of" before, however it seems to actually be "lap up". Still, this is the first time I've heard this expression.

Having lapped up of the cake, I felt totally satisfied. Having lapped up of the cake, I felt totally satisfied.

I have never heard this phrase. As far as I'm aware, "to lap up" can refer to drinking (but not eating) and it also has some figurative meanings, but this phrase does not use the word "of". You would also use it to describe an animal eating or drinking using their tongue, e.g. "When I drop food on the floor, I don't have to clean it up because my dog laps it right up."

Having lapped up of the cake, I felt totally satisfied. Having lapped up the cake, I felt totally satisfied.

Good!

Having lapped up of the cake, I felt totally satisfied. Having lapped up the cake, I felt totally satisfied.
