You decide which style you like best.
If you can write these, you can write anything.
Step1 Find the kernel
Step2 Find new information in the other sentences
Step 3 Choose what kind of sentence you want to write. This
will be a gut decision.
Step4 Write the sentence. Try a few variaptions
IDIOM gut decision – you make a decision based on what feels
right in your stomach, your feeling, your conscience
Prepositions- idiomatic, phrasal verbs, not controlled by
rules, authentic usage
As you have become more familiar with English, you have started
to get a feeling for prepositions. It comes slowly. They will keep feeling more
natural.

Seems overwritten- too much grammar for such simple ideas
SIMPLE seems like the best choice to me. What do you think? It’s
your choice. Aim for a variety of sentence types.
Every sentence that you write requires you to make a
decision about what kind of sentence you want: SIMPLE COMPOUND COMPLEX
If you do not consciously make a decision, you may write
sentences that are not English.
