Hi,
Please check these sentences and correct them.
1. Do you think [it will, it's going to] stop raining soon? / How should I know (that)? I'm not a weatherman. [Which is common, will or be going to?]
2. If you don't do something right now, you will get into trouble sooner or later.
3. You should either stop complaining about it or stop doing it.
4. It/I won't be long. Please be patient.
5. Lady first! / Age before beauty!
6. [At a race] I win! / Age before beauty!
7. Mike ironed his shirt and shined his shoes for the interview.
Thanks a million.

2. If you don't do something right now, you will get into trouble sooner or later. (OK).
3. You should either stop complaining about it or stop doing it. (OK).
4. It/I won't be long. Please be patient. (OK).
5. Lady first! / Age before beauty! (I think it is usually, "Ladies first").
