Which sentence is correct?
- a.I have seen that film yesterday.
- b.I have saw that film yesterday.
- c.I saw that film yesterday.✓
- d.I seen that film yesterday.
'Yesterday' is finished past time, so the past simple 'saw' is correct, not the present perfect. 'I seen' also lacks the auxiliary 'have'.

Which sentence is correct?
- a.Can you give me some information about the trip?✓
- b.Can you give me some informations about the trip?
- c.Can you give me an information about the trip?
- d.Can you give me many information about the trip?
'Information' is uncountable: it has no plural 's' and does not take 'an' or 'many'. Use 'some information'.
Error Correction
Which sentence is correct?
- a.We are living here since 2018.
- b.We live here since 2018.
- c.We are here since 2018.
- d.We have lived here since 2018.✓
'Since' with a starting point requires the present perfect for an action continuing to now: 'have lived'. The present simple/continuous do not work with 'since'.
Error Correction
Which sentence is correct?
- a.He is more taller than his brother.
- b.He is taller than his brother.✓
- c.He is more tall than his brother.
- d.He is tallest than his brother.
'Tall' is short, so its comparative is 'taller' (not 'more taller' or 'more tall'). 'Than' follows the comparative.
