5 random sentences (practicing new vocabulary)

1. People often use flattering statements to warm up others warm others up [The phrasal verb "warm up" is usually separated by its object: in this case "others".

2. I know these grammar rules but I would like to clarify some nuances because I don't want to make mistakes. [This sentence makes perfect sense, but it needs some punctuation. You can do this in a few ways. this is one possibility: "I know these grammar rules, but I would like to clarify some nuances, because I don't want to make mistakes." 

3. She promised him to call back, but he knew that it means meant "no". [Again, this sentence makes sense, but "call back" is also a phrasal verb that is usually separated by its object; so, "She promised to call him back, but he knew she meant 'no' " is better. As I said, this makes sense, but a more natural way to say this for a native is this: "She promised to call him back, but he knew she didn't mean it."

4. He was assertive because he was confident and looked better than his opponent, who was insecure and, consequently, aggressive.

"Dangerous" here does not mean that it will hurt you. You are right that most of the time we use it, we are describing something harmful. What it means her is closer to "not wise". So we could change it to "So unwise to stay in such a place..." This is another way that you can use the word "Dangerous."

1) "AT&T does mobile, TV and internet" is good. but the second sentence does not work. I would say "CNN's reporting is not hard-hitting." 2) Either one of your sentences works in this case you could also say "tile floor". 3)I don't know why the word "red" is in this. The usual phrase is "drawing a line in the sand". This is colloquial. It means that he is saying that the other person can only go so far, and if they pass that point then there will be consequences. You could also say either one of the replacement phrases for "he just come out and say". they are all correct. THey all mean the exact same thing.
