Are my sentences correct?
I would ask you to correct my sentences. [A little more natural: Please would you correct my sentences?]
1- When the house was searched, the police found over two hundred cats which are living (or just living? Yes! :)) in terrible conditions.
2- The eggs were taken from the eagle's nest. Police believe they will now be smuggled out of the country and sold abroad. Perfect!
3- I just heard on the news that someone was arrested and charged with the murder. Perfect!
4- He was released last Friday, after a year in the prison.
5- With the recent investment in the area, plenty of new jobs are being created at the moment. Because it's continuing to happen in the present.
6- When the police raided the farm, they found that crocodiles were in the lake. Just the wrong verb, I think. Or a typo? In #7 you used "kept" incorrectly. Did you mean "crocodiles had been kept in the lake" here?
7- He's an amazing performer. His show really has to be seen to be believed. This is a great natural-sounding expression!
8- I don't know why he was surprised they sacked him. He was given several warnings about lateness.
Well done! These are some quite complicated sentences and you made very few mistakes! :)
