are they correct and some i need help with correct puntuation. I 'll try some to puntuate some. you tell me if it's wrong.

1. "C'mon, you two. Let's go get our tickets."

2. Parallel to the pectators' bleachers. (i'd say yes. because it's who's bleachers.)

3. They race down the track at incredible speed(s).or is it: at an incredible speed. ? (They = race cars.)

4. They drive under (a arch bridge or an arch bridge). (?)

5. The birds fly out like angry ( ) wild beasts. (i'd say no comma.)

6. She witnesses the crash then turns to Sam. (could that be writen better?)

7. They follow the old man (down / between) the rows of tables.(?)

8. They stop in front of a gigantic ( ) dark silhouette. (i'd say no comma.)

I would amend thus:

1. C'mon, you two-- let's go get our tickets.

2. Parallel to the spectators' bleachers. (This is not a complete sentence.)

3. They race down the track at incredible speed(s) / an incredible speed. All three forms are possible; much depends on whether the various cars are going the same speed.

4. They drive under an arched bridge / a bridge arch.

5. The birds fly out like angry wild beasts.

6. She witnesses the crash then turns to Sam.

7. They follow the old man down / between the rows of tables.

8. They stop in front of a gigantic dark silhouette.

Other members may have other ideas.
