I have to make sentences by using those words and I did try my best , but I know there will be the grammar mistakes. Please help me fix the mistakes. Thank you very much!

Imagery 1) The nature is full of imagery. I would hear leaves were dancing by the wind and trees were shaking.

Percent 2) I got 60 percent on my English test.

Project 3) I have a project from science class.

Dramatic 4) I think that was pretty dramatic because my grade went down A to C in math class.

Re- 5) I'm reviewing my vocabulary now because I have an English quiz tomorrow.

Over- 6) These clothes are overpriced.

Un- 7) My parents are not uneducated, therefore they have to do laborious jobs.

I don't know how to make sentence by using sensory details and cycle.

Imagery 1) Nature is full of imagery. I would hear leaves if they were dancing on the wind and trees were shaking.

Percent 2) I got 60 percent on my English test. perfect

Project 3) I have a project from science class. correct if you have taken your project out of the classroom and are showing it to someone. But if you mean the project is to be done for the class, then use for in place of from.

Dramatic 4) I think that was pretty dramatic because my grade went down from A to C in math class.

Re- 5) I'm reviewing my vocabulary now because I have an English quiz tomorrow. perfect

Over- 6) These clothes are overpriced. perfect

Un- 7) My parents are uneducated, therefore they have to do laborious jobs. No "not"

Re: sensory, details and cycle here are their meanings which may help you to form sentences using them.

sen·so·ry/?sens?r?/ Adjective: Of or relating to sensation or the physical senses; transmitted or perceived by the senses

You'll notice that sensory is an adjective so to use it correctly in a sentence you will use it to describe a noun and not a verb. Why not search for the phrase 'sensory system' and once you understand what that is you may be able to write a simple sentence describing the 'sensory system' of an animal or a human.

details 3rd person singular present, plural of de·tail Noun: An individual feature, fact, or item. Verb: Describe item by item; give the full particulars of.

Here you can use 'details' as a noun or a verb but I'm guessing that they would prefer you to use it as a noun.

cy·cle/?s?k?l/ Noun: A series of events that are regularly repeated in the same order. Verb: Ride a bicycle. Synonyms: noun. circle - bicycle - period - bike - round - wheel verb. bicycle - pedal - ride a bicycle

Cycle also can be a noun or a verb but once again I would say that your teacher is looking for you to use it as a noun .

All the best - feel free to post your attempts here for us to help with corrections. (smiley(

Imagery

1) Nature is full of imagery. Leaves can dance in the wind and trees can sway, as if they are listening to music.

I hope you don't mind the suggestion above, I have added a little to your original sentence to add a little imagery to the description of the trees.

Percent 2) I got 60 percent on my English test.

good - you can also say 'for' my English test but this is possibly regional.

Project 3) I have a project for (my) science class.

I would use 'for' here instead of from

Dramatic 4) I think that was pretty dramatic because my grade went down from A to C in math class.

good - or I think 'it' was pretty dramatic 'when' my grade ......

Re- 5) I'm reviewing my vocabulary now because I have an English quiz tomorrow.

Your sentence is perfect if you could use any word beginning with re-.

The other possibility would be that the word was 're'

eg - I want to talk to you re your grade for Math. (re- = regarding)

Over- 6) These clothes are overpriced.

good, again if you could use any word beginning with over- and it does seem that way given the next example that can't stand by itself.

Un- 7) My parents are not uneducated, therefore they have to do laborious jobs.

Did you mean, my parents 'are' uneducated? Or how about 'When people are uneducated, even though they may be very intelligent, they often have to find employment doing laborious jobs.'

Overall, a very good job! Keep up the good work.

You did an awesome job! The only sentences that really need a few corrections are 1 and 4.

[1] Nature is full of imagery. I saw leaves dancing in the wind and trees shaking. (imagery is seeing things, and you 'hear' with your ears. That's why I changed the verb.)
[2] I got a score of 60 percent on my English test.
[4] dramatic, because my grade went down from A to C
