Hello,

2. the old lady gave the children tree apples, which were a great treat to/for them.
3. Adam, Eve and Julia have one mother : do we say : Adam, Eve and Julia's mother fell ill
4. they notice someone at the station (the railway station) - there is someone on the platform
5. an old lady says that they mustn't swim here but they can swim farther away
6. I will tell the other parents to let their children go to the party

1 no comma 2 apples from the tree - treat for 3 that's how I'd say it 4 ok 5 ok (some would repeat 'that') 6 ok 7 Since the last two questions are in the present tense, use the present (have) in the first
