I need to check if these sentences are correct?
The girl threw the pebble at the tree. Her intention was to scare the dog.
He is planting the seeds in the field.
I like meat best.
After we packed everything back in the car and picked up all the rubbish and threw it in a garbage bag in the car boot.
School starts in autumn.
In winter we celebrate Christmas and the New Year.
In the first picture it is sunny and the sky is clear. It is also hot because people are wearing summer clothes.
In the second picture the sky is covered with clouds. It is raining heavily and there are some flashes of lightning in the sky.
In the third picture it is drizzling. It is partly cloudy and I can see a rainbow in the background.
In the fourth picture it is snowy and is very cold because everything is covered in snow.

âAt the treeâ works better here.
âThrew the pebble at the treeâ means âtoward the tree with the intention of hitting itâ.
âAgainst the treeâ might be the final location. This normally means in contact with the tree.
Angelwings:
car boot
Boot = British English
Trunk = American English
Also
Bonnet = BrE
Hood = AmE

Autumn is fine, but fall is more common.
This is fine as-is. Some alternatives are:
In the second picture itâs cloudy.
In the second picture the sky is overcast.
In the second picture itâs overcast.
In the second picture it is cloud-covered. (the hyphen is optional)

In AmE we use both âfallâ and âautumnâ, but âfallâ is more common, especially in casual daily conversation.
