    The first sounds ok but it sounds like it implies you were surprised because you couldn't speak. The second one tells a clearer thought. The first could be rewritten like this, "I couldn't speak because I was so surprised." or you could go for a more dramatic approach, "I was so shocked I was speechless."

    Ariana is right. Both verbs are modal and it would be inappropriate to use both at the same time. "Should" implies a less than certian probability, whereas "will" implies an almost certain probability. It depends on how probable you are in taking the summer course.

    Hey there, I think the closest word you are thinking of is spongy. I grew up using this word when food has a sponge like consistency. This is the closest word I could think of to describe what you are looking for. Examples: "This food has a spongy texture." or "It has a sponge-like consistency."

    Enlist is most often used as a military term of employment. However, it can be used in asking for help from someone. Example: "A company can enlist the help of independent consultants" It means: to engage someone into helping you. Also, it can mean "to hire". Yes, you can use enlist this way, although it is not common.

    Hey there, Audience is a plural word which stands for a group of people. You could say "There where 4000 people in the AUDIENCE at the concert." "4000 audiences" would mean there are 4000 separate groups. This would not be correct.

    Hey there. "I am crazy/cruel" is defining what you are. It is a saying you ARE cruel or crazy. "I am being crazy" is stating an action. You are doing something at present time that is crazy or cruel. But it does NOT imply that you are crazy or cruel.

    Hey there Jessica. Your first question of using the word "up" implies that the bedroom was upstairs. You could replace "up" with "upstairs", but it is more common to use "up". "When she went upSTAIRS to bed... " - The implication is the same. On the second question you are correct, but it would be more common to say "...on which was written..." and exclude the word "is". But either way is appropriate. The third question is a little tricky. In order to use "on the clock" you would need to restructure the sentence. Example: "8am was displayed on the clock when Mr. Jones woke up." This is correct, but factual. It is a very dry statement. You could use, "When Mr. Jones awoke the time on the clock read '8am'". This makes a more creative expressing, but either example would work well. Hope this is helpful.

    Yes, Gary is right. It means, "Have you at any time read that book?" Implying that you most likely have not. It is a negative connotation.
