My brother, your name is so difficult to be judged.
By the way you have made all of the sentences correct.
Thanks alot for your reply.

Correction and Explanation

1. I eat Indian food for lunch yesterday

When you are talking about past, your verb must refer to past. It must be ate rather than eat.

2. He's hobbies are listening to music and collecting stamps.

He`s implies he is or he has. It should be his instead of he`s.

3. I will borrow you Ł100.

It’s an equivocal sentence which fails to refer the actual subject. The definition of ‘Borrow’ is to take or obtain with a promise to return the same. Where as “Lend” mean to give on condition.

I will lend you Ł100.


4. She don't like taking a trip with her family.

She doesn`t like because she is a singular second-person subject.

5. Please borrow me your car.

Similarly, a verb borrow is faulty in clause. It should be either to give or to lend.

6. Two of her daughters are student.

When first noun is plural second noun must be plural.

7. At the second floor of my house is my bedroom.

Above statement is ambigious. It must be separated through a comma. In other case, A verb may be appended to correct it.

My bedroom is situated on the second floor of my house.

(with due respect.. may i try to correct the above two sentences...)

i think the above sentences should sound like these:

8 I have to put down down the baby while i SWEPT the floor.

10 Can you go to the store before we run out of milk?
( i think there is no need of "are" in the above sentence..)
