Several Sentences with New Words
1) Perfectionism is one of my forte. It's also my punishment, because sometimes it can ruin everything I try to create.
2) I don't get back to the books I liked earlier. I prefer to read new ones.
3) In Russian you can skip the verb "to be" (which sometimes works like "to have") in the Present Tense when there's an attributive adjective. For example, in the sentence "I have a new car" the word "new" would allow you to skip "have" - "У меня (есть) новая машина". Yet I should admit that "У меня " also conveys a shade of possession unlike simple English "I".
4)Yours have yet to arrive home. You still have some time to clean your mess (?).
5) He knows where to find a supplementary information - he's a very knowledgeable professional.

Several Sentences with New Words
1) Perfectionism is one of my forte. You can either say "it is my forte" (more common), or "it is one of my fortes" It's also my punishment, because sometimes it can ruin everything I try to create. I would use the word "weakness" instead of "punishment" here. It fits better. But this is a judgment call.
2) I don't get back to the books I liked earlier. I prefer to read new ones.
3) In Russian you can skip the verb "to be" (which sometimes works like "to have") in the Present Tense when there's an attributive adjective. For example, in the sentence "I have a new car" the word "new" would allow you to skip "have" - "У меня (есть) новая машина". Yet I should admit that "У меня " also conveys a shade of possession unlike simple English "I". Well said!
4)Yours have yet to arrive home. Technically this sentence is grammatically correct, but it's confusing unless you were previously referring to something. You still have some time to clean your mess (?). This sentence is correct too!
5) He knows where to find a supplementary information - he's a very knowledgeable professional. (You can either say "he knows were to find supplementary information" or "he knows where to find THE supplementary information." However, you cannot use the "a" article with the word "information." You can only say "a piece of information" if you want to use "a.")
Great job!!!
