Could you please help me correct these 4 sentences?
Could you please help me make these grammatically correct?
1 I've clean the biggest part. If you don't really stare at the kitchen in detail you won't see that it's dirty. (this is not natural at all)
2 How much money do you save driving a diesel car than driving petrol? (somethings off I think?)
3 Based on what the cadaver looked like I'd say it fell from the 10th floor.
4 The windows are high in skyscrapers, so that kids can't go through them. (understand what I mean?)
Thank you

1. I've cleaned most of the kitchen. If you don't stare too hard at it, you won't see that it's still dirty in places.

1. I did a light cleaning. If you don't look to closely you can't tell it's still dirty.
2. What are the savings with a diesel car versus petrol. (gas or gasoline in US English)
3. From the condition of the body, I'd say it fell from the 10th floor. (cadaver works here too, but that feels a bit clinical)

Hello Cayuse,
Could I ask you 2 questions,
Could you say this and is it natural?
How much money would you save driving a diesel car as opposed to a gas car?
Based on the condition of the body, I'd say it fell from the 10th floor.
Thank you Cayuse

Both of these are just fine the way they are.
However, I would suggest these changes purely for styilistic reasons.
Since savings are usually based on 'total cost of ownership' and not just calculated when driving I'd use:
"How much money would you save owning a diesel car..."
I migt replace "as opposed" to "compared to" just because I personally do
