These look good. For number seven, the word "got" is correct because the next word in the sentence is "to." Correct sentences would be "I got to the cinema after the film had started," and "I arrived at the cinema after the film had started."

By my count, that should be 13/16. Though to be fair one or two of them would work in a sentence either way.

Good job! :)

Hi there! I highlighted the words I would use (but I'm from the US, so that's not necessarily to say that an English-speaker from another country wouldn't use the words you chose). I highlighted both "charter" and "team building" because I think either would work. Nice job!
