Can someone help me to check this sentence?

'Ever contemplated sending your child overseas for studies but worried about the high education cost?'

Not too sure if it should be 'worried' or 'worry'. Unless you can find something else wrong with the sentence.

Thank you.

I would change the first verb to make it more immediate.  'Contemplate' is a pretty big word for some readers; I'd simplify it.  You don't need 'education'; you just said 'studies'; you don't need 'high'- who would worry about low cost?--

Thinking about sending your child overseas for studies but worried about the cost?

Hi,

Is this a correct sentence and free from error?

"from the last 5 months i haven't been to my home"

No. "For the last 5 months I haven't been home."

or "I haven't been home since 5 months ago."

Also, since you are asking about correctness, please note that in English a sentence should start with a capital letter and end with a period. In addition, the pronoun I should be capitalized.

Best wishes, Clive

I wanted to confirm my own understanding of [ago] and present perfect and found this:
EXAMPLES:
I have seen that movie many times.

I have never seen that movie.


NOTE: When you are using a verb tense with more than one part such as Present Perfect (have seen), adverbs usually come between the first part and the second part (have never seen).



USE 1 Unspecified Time Before Now    

We use the Present Perfect to say that an action happened at an unspecified time before now. The exact time is not important. You CANNOT use the Present Perfect with time expressions such as "yesterday," "one year ago," "last week," "when I was a chlid," "when I lived in Japan," "at that moment," "that day" or "one day." We CAN use the Present Perfect with expressions like "ever," "never," "once," "many times," "several times," "before," "so far," "already" and "yet."
