The ship stranded in the shore The ship STRANDEd in the shore and for that reason it FELL BEHIND WITH the delivers it was supposed to do. But the DWELLERS of some houses near the beach helped the crew to take the ship to the sea once again. It was a TIRESOME job to do, but they performed the task EARNESTLY. The words in capital letters are the ones I'm learning. I want to know if they fit semanticly with the context. Thanks in advance!

The ship stranded on the shore

The ship was STRANDEd in on the shore and for that reason it FELL BEHIND WITH the delivers deliveries it was supposed to do make. But the DWELLERS (this is ok, "residents" would be a better word) of some houses near the beach helped the crew to take the ship to the sea once again. It was a TIRESOME job to do, but they performed the task EARNESTLY.

The words in capital letters are the ones I'm learning. I want to know if they fit semanticly with the context.

Thanks in advance!

I hope this helps; In this statement, "stranded" is an adjective and not a verb. It's also an adjective reflecting a condition that has already happened to the ship so you would use "was" before. I could see this being a bit confusing.
