Hi teachers,

1) I want to talk to your dad. Please hand your cellphone to him. Correct?

2) It seemed it was going to rain because there were many/a lot of clouds in the sky.

3) The plane was flying in the clouds. Correct?

4) Do not touch electricity tower/post or you will get an electric shock. Correct?

Many thanks in advance.

1 - okay

2 - both options are ok, but I would expect 'like' or 'as if':
It seemed as if it were going to rain...
It seemed like it was going to rain...

3 - through' would be more usual than 'in', though it is acceptable.

4 - an article is missing:
Do not touch the electricity tower/post...

"Pass your phone to your dad." is also correct?
