Hi, could you check these sentences, please?
1) I would take a walk in a forest when i lived with my parents.
2) Are you really going to take an exam without any preparation?
3) Did you take a photo of that fancy tree that we just saw in the yard?
4) Don't you want to try on this hat? I think it'll go with your blazer.
5) Today in the morning I poured out the whole package of cereals accidently on a floor.
6) He should have handed over the parcel to you yesterday. Didn’t he do it?

Hey Ivan,
On number 5, personally, I would replace "package" with "box" or "bag". Mainly because here in the US cereal almost always comes in a box and I have certainly spilled a whole box of cereal before!
On number 6, I would end the sentence with "did he not?" He should have handed over the parcel to you yesterday, did he not? also "He should have given you the parcel yesterday, did he not?"

1-4 seem fine to me Ivan.
But:
5) This morning I spilled whole packet of cereal on the floor. (I don't think you need "accidentally". You wouldn't have done it on purpose, would you? ;) And if you had (e.g. in anger) - you would probably have said "threw" instead of "spilled".
6) He should have handed over the parcel to you yesterday. Didn’t he do that?

Hi Ivan! I'll be happy to help with your sentences! number 1 is good but the second "i" needs to be capitalized. and number 5, there is no "s" on the end of cereal as it is already a singular and plural word.
Hope this helps! I would love to help you practice your sentence structure further and develop a study plan. Feel free to take a look at my profile! Have a good day!
