Dear teacher,
Please correct and suggest the better ones.

1)She winked at me looking the girl sitting next to.
2)I pretended as if I had known that problem.
3)I met her again after many years. She is very thin as though she has only skin and bones.
4)Looking those who wore the cloak of nun, I happen to remember to her.
5)It took me 3 hourses to wait for him coming and opening the locked door.

Thanks a lot

1)She winked at me, looking at the girl I was sitting next to. [I'm not certain what you meant. My change has "she" looking at the girl.]
2)I pretended <strike>as if</strike> that I had known about that problem.
3)I met her again after many years. She is very thin, as though she <strike>has</strike> is only skin and bones.
4)Looking those who wore the <strike>cloak of nun</strike> nun's habit, I happen to remember to her. [This still isn't clear; I can't tell what the relation is supposed to be between the two parts of the sentence, and I can't tell what is the antecedent of "her".]
5)It took me 3 hourses to wait for him coming and opening the locked door. [No. Try:
- I had to wait three hours for him to come and open the locked door. ]

Dear teacher,

I am sorry because I didn't make my sentences clean. Now, I will try to explain my meaning.

1)In the first sentence, my meaning is that: My friend winked at me and asked me for looking at the girl who sat next to me.

2)In the fourth one, the girl who I happen to remember to is also a nun. So when looking those nun, I think about her.

Thanks a lot

-- Try,
- She winked at me for looking at the girl I was sitting next to.

2)In the fourth one, the girl who I happen to remember to is also a nun. So when looking those nun, I think about her.

-- Try,
- When I saw those women wearing nun's habits, I remembered her. [Or: ... it made me remember her.]
