<p>

</has></p>

<p>Has already been is present perfect. You need past or past perfect for this sentence.
How can you know this? Look at the sentence after the semicolon.</p>

3

<p>

</of></p>

<p>I’m not exactly confident on this. I believe regardless can never be followed by “if”.</p>

4

<p>

</p>

<p>Reverse the sentence:
Had he simply requested help early enough to give her time to complete her own assignments, Fran would have been happy to assist Brad.</p>

<p>The sentence requires past conditional.</p>

5

<p>

</each></p>

<p>The verb stands refers to the oak cupboards and a massive walnut chest. Therefore, stands should be changed to stand</p>

<p>If you are confused on these types of sentences, rewrite the sentence so that the prepositional phrase comes in the end.</p>

<p>Fine oak cupboards and a massive walnut chest, each dark with age and inscribed with… stand along one wall of the kitchen.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I believe the error occurs at including.
It should be as.
Such…as… structure.</p>

7

<p>

</p>

<p>Although I don’t know what the rest of the sentence is, I don’t think there is any error in this sentence.</p>
