5 random sentences (practising new vocabulary)
"Practice" is the noun form. You are using the verb form as you are performing an action ("practising").
1. People often use flattery to warm up others. break the ice.When you "warm up others", you literally provide warmth for others. You are trying to mean that you want to socialise and make friends with others. You can use the phrase "break the ice" to convey this meaning.
2. I know these grammar rules, but I would like to clarify some nuances because I don't want to make mistakes.
3. She had promised him to call back but he knew that it means she would not.
You use past perfect tense (had promised) to indicate an even earlier past event. Earlier(happened first) : promised, Later (happened next): knew.
4. He was assertive because he was confident and looked better than his opponent, who was insecure and consequently aggressive.
There seem to be too many pieces of information about two people within a sentence though it can still be understood.
Suggestion: He was assertive because he was confident and looked better, unlike his opponent who was aggressive due to his insecurity.
5. I rushed over to the phone when it suddenly rang. (Correct).
Hope this helps.
