  1. Thanks Abraham, check the following:
    1. put somebody up for = let somebody stay in your home for a short time. In this case you should say: "The CEO appointed his daughter President of the company. (you could add) However, I had to put her up for a couple of nights after she argued with him.
    3. Is correct, but you could also say: "It turned out that the house they had offered to us was just a small apartment". In the book they are using "turn out to" = go to watch or be involved in an event: We turned out to enjoy our favourite band's concert"
    7. Your sentence is correct, but also consider the meaning used in the book: Her stories take me back to my childhood"
    9. I visited...just the verb shuld be in past.
    10, good, I would add: "and apologize" or "and tell him I'm sorry"
    Well done Abraham :)
