Just a couple of typos:
I believe you mean verge, not verbe in
“50-year-old man is on the verbe of being evicted from his dwelling.”
And you mean ‘shot’ not ‘short’ in
“Arabia Saudita derribará aviones israelípes con rumbo a Irán. Saudi Arabia will short down Israeli airplanes en route to Iran”
Thanks.
RE: Sentences using compound prepositions.
And I made my own typographic error: I mean ‘shoot’, not ‘shot’.
My apologies!
My comment before ( [verbe vs. verge] and [ short vs. shoot] pertains also ‘sentences using compound prepositions’.
Again, my apologies for being error-prone.
