The photo was blurred to make it hard to see the face of the person inside. 4. The building has 8 stories. 5. I forgot to zip up my handbag, then I tripped (over a step) and the phone dropped. 6. It’s all a matter of luck.

1. When I was little, my mom punished me by making me face the wall when I did something wrong. You need a causative verb here: make (someone) (verb). 2. I cram for my tests. Your sentence was not very wrong, but just odd. "I cram" means you do this in general, but "the test" sounds very specific. 3. The photo was blurred to make it hard to see the face of the person inside. This means someone made the photo blurry. It was not an accident. Perhaps you meant, "The photo was blurry, which made it hard to see the face of the person inside." 4. The building has 8 stories. Yes! 5. I forgot to zip up my handbag, then I tripped (over a step) and my phone fell out. "...and my phone dropped" doesn't have enough information to make sense. 6. It’s all a matter of luck. Yes!

Hi, Wenny I tried to correct you and here it is: 1. When I was a child (kid), my Mom made me stand in the corner if I did something wrong 2. I'm cramming for my tests 3. The photo was blurred (blurry) so it was very hard to make out the face of the person on it 4. The building was eight-story 5. I forgot to zip up my handbag, then I tripped over (a step) and my phone's dropped. 6. It depends on luck
