Correct:

Dear native English speakers,
Would you check my example sentences?

In English, it is better to leave a space like this:

① This airport provides the passengers with free Wi-Fi.

not

①This airport provides the passengers with free Wi-Fi.

1a. This airport provides the passengers with free Wi-Fi.
1b. This airport provides passengers with free Wi-Fi.

Both 1a and 1b are correct. The meanings are different. We would probably say 1b.

2 through 9 are correct.

10a. It's typical of Japanese people to say "Sorry" instead of "Thanks".
10b. It's typical of Japanese people to say "sorry" instead of "thanks".

I would say 10b is better than 10a. I will be curious to see what other people say.

11 through 15 are correct.

Dear native English speakers,

This is not correct! You either need a period instead of the comma or you need to leave it like it was.

Thanks for the help.

Buntaro, I think you don't have to capitalize the first letter after a comma. So I always use lower-case w.

Mdchachi, do you think all the sentences sound all right to you?

I noticed a misspelling. "Dinasours" should be "dinosaurs".

 

[Buntaro]

I think you don't have to capitalize the first letter after a comma.

I guess we can agree to disagree on this one.

Looks good. Just a couple comments.

⑤My doctor encouraged me to do some exercise.

This ok but more natural would be My doctor encouraged me to exercise.

⑥I'm glad now to have company.

This is ok but more natural would be I'm glad to have company or I'm glad to have company now.

Thanks for the help, mdchachi. I'll take your versions.
