The Arab

Can anyone correct my grammar here?

A Jeep Wrangler was parked in front of the gate that doesn't seem to belong to one of our neighbors in the villa because I've never seen it before(1). "Somebody's visiting a friend perhaps", I thought. I climbed out of the van, and Shanta drove away as soon as I closed the door. I unlocked the gate and climbed upstairs to our flat, then unlocked the flat door and opened it.

An Arab standing by the dining room table stared at me as I entered the home. Next to him was Jerry, cutting vegetables on the table. They were cooking something. The Arab glanced at me for a moment then went back to watching what Jerry was doing. He was roughly three or four inches taller than me and he wore a neat navy blue collared shirt and a pair of jeans.


(1) This sentence is grammatically correct, but it is hard to follow. I would write "A Jeep Wrangler, one I've never seen before that doesn't seem to belong to any of our neighbors in the villa, was parked in front of the gate."


That is very well done. Just small details to be mindful of.
