Kindly give reasons
see in the first sentence

"the vast extent of the steppes of central asia is enormous"

purpose is to show the vastness of steppes. If we are saying "the vast extent" then its understood that "its enormous". its seems quite awkward as well as unreasonable to say the same thing twice in a sentence, that's why I changed it into
The Steppes of Central Asia is vast/enormous.


The second sentence was
Nobody didn't ought to lose their way so easily in a small town.

I removed didn't and wrote ought not because whenever ought is used as a modal verb, we make it negative by adding not after it.

I did not make the sentence negative, the given sentence was itself negative, but it was wrong because didn't was used there with ought. I only corrected it. (read it, I tried correcting it) and I think i corrected it correctly.

I think I've made myself clear, but you can well differ in your opinion

I know "not" is used along "ought" but I was asking about"Nobody".

Vast/enormous hold same meaning but "extent" needs not to be removed."hadd ya hadood"

Well I ought to respect your opinion though I don't agree

got your point about nobody, right it should be

nobody ought to lose his way so easily in a small town.

but i would stick to my colors with respect to the second sentence as I think enormous is showing the extent.

Correct these sentences please....

He thinks that his writing is better than his friend.

Your writing is inferior than me.

Either of these umbrellas will suit me.

It is high time they made this road.

Playing a game regularly is better than to read books always.

He is such a man who is liked by everyone.

Little money I had I spent on the way.

You are wrong. Correct is:

He swore to God.

Remember these points:
Swear to + someone
Swear on/upon + something
Swear into + put on responsibilities as of an office
Swear in + as + title

Its quite right,I would like to add more,
swear blind (informal) ...........to say something is definately true,
swear like a trooper ,,,,,,,often use very rude or offensive language,
swear to ,for something,.........when we are informal (not sure)
swear to, for someone,.......when making or telling the truth.
