    7 – just decided.
    9 – sang
    10 – has not been
    2 – has been

    All the rest appear to be correct. Good luck.

    10) hadn’t been 8) always protested (you could use had or has to imply he used to or he used to and still does, so I would drop the had)

    well, it sounds as though you are trying to be a pirate in 1 and 2.
    3. should be (began) rather than start
    4. doesnt make much sense unless you were to add extra info to the sentence
    5. sounds ok, but instead of using copy try other words such as mimic etc
    6.brought out or released sounds better
    7. he (decided) to plan..
    8. sounds fine, but instead of protest wouldnt it be grammatically correct if it were (protests)??
    9. sang rather than sing
    10. you sound like a pirate again

    edit
    i didnt pay attention to the second list you had at the bottom until i finished what i wrote :s
