Welcome to English Forums!

Where do you think the errors are?

Just a word of advice. This is an unusual post for this forum. You have a better chance of getting attention if you ask an individual question about a specific grammatical point. Nearly 30 items in one post begins to look like you might just be asking someone to do your homework for you! Smile [:)]
