A: For the first part of the sentence, the sheep will eat the grass, and from their droppings will also fertilize the soil, in the area known as the 19th district.

For the last part "intended in the same spirit" you need to look at the previous paragraph of the article, which refers to the Mayor's work in making the environment a priority, and "Intended in the same spirit" means that this plan is also intended to help the environment, where "in the same spirit" means "with the same ideas".

A: it is true that many times it is used in a negative way, such as someone who is more troublesome (like a rebellious teenager) or someone who is not very successful (all her sisters became doctors except for Laura, she is the black sheep of the family) but they all mean that the black sheep does something different from the rest. it could also be used as something positive (all her family members were criminals and Laura became a judge, she's the black sheep of the family) and can be used as a light joke like your example of your son and kimchi. It would be understood as a light joke about your son not liking kimchi while everyone else loves it.

A: I can't use my voice but "sheep" has an extended "ee" sound, "ship" has a "e" sound. "year" and "ear", "year" is essentially "ear" with the ya sound infront of "ear".

A: A herd of sheep crossed the street in front of usの方がいいです。

A: You should use "are" because you used "some."

"Sheep" is one of those rare English words that is the same in its singular and plural forms. So, you need context to determine which one it is.

That sheep is sleeping.
Those sheep are sleeping.

The only way to tell which is plural is by "those" versus "that", and in doing so, whether to use "is" or "are."

A: The "ee" sound isn't as long.
Here is one clip with the word of interest:

A: "I'm rarely able to sleep easily. I try to sleep by counting sheep that I imagine in my own world. When I count to about five sheep, they move so fast that I can't tell how many I've already counted and just like that, I can't sleep again."

Some words were placed oddly, and I didn't want to completely change your sentences so I hope this sounds good! If you need anymore help just feel free to ask! 😄
