Hello native English speakers.
Could you do me a favour and help me for my queries about two sentences.
1a. The sea has eroded the cliff face over the years.
( This is a complete sentence)
1b. The sea's erosion of the cliff face over the years.
( This is a noun phrase)
1c. The erosion of the cliff face by the sea over the years.
( This is a noun phrase)
Question:
Are they all grammatically correct?
Can these "expressions" be suggested the same meaning?
2a. Tom furtively ate three apples last week. ( This is a complete sentence)
2b. Tom's furtively eating three apples last week. ( This is a noun phrase)
2c. Tom's furtive eating of three apples last week. ( This is a noun phrase)
2d. For Tom to eat three apples furtively last week.
(This is a noun phrase expressed by infinitive)
Question: Are they all grammatically correct?
Can these "expressions" be suggested the same meaning?

Hi,
I'm struggling to translate ' poner un parte " which in Spain consists of the following:
If a student does something really bad at school like offending the teacher, behaving in a disruptive way etc, teachers write it down on a piece of paper that will be sent to the student's parents. If several are written, the student could be expelled for some days. It is more serious than things that require just telling them off in class.( Is 'tell off ' the correct verb here) ???
Could anyone tell me how to put it in English?
Thank you very much indeed
