Can you help me with these sentences? Are they ok? In each sentence I wanted to use a specific word, I write these words between inverted commas, - The soon development of the US "railway network" was one of the reasons of the US supremacy during the XX century. - "Don't trust him", he's always telling lies - Did you know that Mike's father is in jail? I didn't know it, but "that's what I thought". - I don't know where John is, please could you "reach" him. - The Valencia port has several number of "docks", the biggest ones are used by Containers Vessels. - I'm "able" to play the piano at the same time I watch TV - This company is "dedicated" to build skyscrapers. - I'm pretty confident that the company will "tackle" this problem soon - Yesterday I "went blank" in my English test I felt very frustrated because I had studied a lot. Thanks in advance, :)

Can you help me with these sentences? Are they ok?

In each sentence I wanted to use a specific word, I write these words between inverted commas,

- The soon rapid/early development of the US "railway network" was one of the reasons for the US supremacy during the XX century.
- "Don't trust him", he's always telling lies / He is not to be trusted, he often tells lies.
- Did you know that Mike's father is in jail? I didn't know it, but "that's what I thought".
- I don't know where John is, please could you "reach" contact him.
- The port of Valencia has several number of "docks", the biggest ones are used by Containers Vessels.
- I'm "able" to play the piano at the same time as I watch TV
- This company is "dedicated" to building skyscrapers.
- I'm pretty confident that the company will "tackle" deal with / overcome this problem soon
- Yesterday I "went blank" was unable to think/concentrate in my English test I felt very frustrated because I had studied a lot.

Thanks in advance, :)

Your sentences are generally correct. My corrections are alternative words that you could use. I am not sure if this is what you had in mind when you asked for a specific word.
