Are the following sentences grammatically correct?
1. Having such life is better than not living.

2. Without understanding the lyrics, the song made me incredibly instinctual.

3. Since I have studied grammar in depth, I am not able to speak English as fluently as I used to speak.

4. I loved the piece of writing you had lately posted on face book.

5. I think that she must be depressed after having her lip surgery done because she looks horrible.

Suggestions: it would be better to say (1) "...such a life...", (3) "...as I used to." (4) "...you recently posted...".

In (2), I don't understand "instinctual". Also, in the way the sentence is written, the first (subordinate) clause refers to the song, and not to "you", which I think should be the intention. It would be better to start "Even though I could not understand the lyrics, the song...".

Quite a good effort though.
