Individual sentences (VII)

I got won the lottery.   ('got' doesn't work here)
I got won a new car in a raffle.  (in this sentence you could use 'got' but 'won' sounds  better here to me)

We drew lots and I got to be the one to climb the tree to catch the ball.   (I understand but 'drew lots' doesn't sound natural here.  I would just start the sentence at "I got to be.....")

I'm going to denounce you for climbing my tree. It's my property.  ('denounce' sounds too strong here. you 'denounce' the government or you 'denounce' your religion....but you  just 'get angry at' someone for climbing your tree....or you call the police....:)  


I have never received a complaint about my service.  PERFECT :)
I have never received a denounce about my service.  Again, 'denounce' is too strong of a word to use in this context.
My father has filed a complaint against the insurance company.  PERFECT :)
My father has filed a denounce against the insurance company.   Again, 'denounce' is too strong of a word to use in this context.

I settle for too little. I should be more ambitious and ask more to of life.

What is a magnifying glass for? It's for burning ants with Sun rays beams.  (Yikes! :) (Yikes! :)  and the word 'rays' sounds more natural to me here

Great job! :)
