Both expressions are in common use. However, 'Swear by' is used more often.

The climate of Pakistan is better than England. ( Full stop mistake )

My friend is very ill, I hope he will soon die.

My friend is very ill! i hope he will die soon.

I shall deliver your gift when i see her.


Many a sleepless nights she spent.

She spent many sleepless nights.


i cant found any mistake in this sentence.

This house is built of bricks and stones.

"this house is built from bricks and stones."

because bricks and stones were different entities..see a use of "of"
the table is made of wood...as wood is just modified to shape a table.

thats how i think.

Brick & stone.

Just remove the 'S' from both the words because both of them are used as collective nouns.

Tip: Here the comparison is between the climate of Pakistan and the climate of England not the Climate of pakistan and England.
i.e. My shirt is better than you.... it is wrong, this means my shirt is better than you not better than your shirt.
Very Good. I feel ashame when when look at my English. I am very much disappointed about this. and perhaps I will not be able to correct my grammer.
