Do these sentences sound correct?

Question

• A well deepens when you take from, so is friendship

• the impossible is a hard rock that crushes under the hammer of determination's strikes

• the elegance of your speech comes from the elegance of your mind

• no one can feel your feelings, do not exhaust yourself expressing them to others

• knowledge is acquired and intelligence is some gift of nature

• half of good health cones from smiling

• you get envied for your mind greatness and get befriended for your heart greatness

May i suggest that you set them out separately as a list, they are too confusing as they are . - ray76, Aug 1, 2015

Proper capitalization and punctuation would also be appreciated- if you know how to do this. If not, we'll get it somehow. :) - Daniela2041, Aug 1, 2015

Answer 1

1 and 2 don't really make sense to me. Maybe if you wrote them in Spanish I could help. 3 and 4 are good. The rest I would change like this.

Knowledge is acquired, but intelligence is a gift of nature.

Half of good health comes from smiling.

You are envied for your mind's greatness, but are befriended for the greatness of your heart.

Answer 2

A well deepens when you take from, so is friendship. No

Suggestion: A well deepens when you use it and so does friendship.. ( This is actually not true, both will run out, a well will not deepen and your friends will vanish, I promise you that)

Answer 3

• A well deepens when you take from, so is friendship X ''Take from it''

• The impossible is a hard rock that crushes under the hammer of determination's strikes X ''gets crushed/is crushed''

• The elegance of your speech comes from the elegance of your mind ok

• No one can feel your feelings, do not exhaust yourself expressing them to others ok

• Knowledge is acquired and intelligence is some gift of nature X ''knowledge is acquired but intelligence is a gift of nature''

• Half of good health comes from smiling this one sounds weird but l guess it's not gramatically wrong.

• You get envied for your mind greatness and get befriended for your heart greatness using ''are'' instead of ''get'' would sound better to me, also greatness of mind/heart is better.

Yes, elegance of mind also sounds weird but is grammatically correct. - annierats, Aug 1, 2015

Answer 4

the impossible is a hard rock that crushes under the hammer of determination's strikes

"The hammer of determination's strikes" doesn't make sense. I think it should be turned around to read "the strikes of determination's hammer" or maybe "the blows of determination's hammer: "The hard rock of the impossible is crushed under the strikes (or blows) of determination's hammer" or "The strikes (or blows) of determination's hammer crushes the hard rock of the impossible." Also it needs a capital letter at the beginning and a period at the end.

no one can feel your feelings, do not exhaust yourself expressing them to others

This one is fine grammatically, but it contains a comma splice (not a good thing). It needs either a semicolon in place of the comma or a conjunction after the comma. Also it needs a capital letter at the beginning and a period at the end, as do all declarative sentences: "No one can feel your feelings; don't exhaust yourself expressing them to others" or "No one can feel your feelings, so don't exhaust yourself expressing them to others."
