Would you answer my question? Are the following sentences grammatically correct and do they make sense?A: My daughter is very naughty and bullies boys. She seems to me to be more boy than girl.B: Lucille van Pelt, often made fusses about trifles and bullied boys in her childhood.
However, now she has a girl and 2 boys, and they are all quiet and obedient children.
There isn't any Lucille in them.

That is nearly all fine. Just a couple of comments. In (B), the comma after "Lucille van Pelt" is incorrect and should be deleted. "a girl and 2 boys" is poor style. "a girl and two boys" is much better. There are also layout errors in your post.

Delete the comma after "Pelt". Spell out single-digit numbers unless there is a reason not to. Other than that, it's good.
Thank you GPY.
Sorry GPY. I have another question, please.
Is "Lucille" in B an abstract noun instead of a proper noun?
Thank you anonymous.
I suppose you could say so, in the sense that it means "Lucille-like behavioural traits" rather than the physical Lucille.
Thank you very much GPY.
