Hope it helps..
The errors are found and corrected in the sentences below:
1) My teacher teaches me English.
The verb 'teach' does not agree with the subject here, 'my teacher'. The subject is singular, so the verb will also be singular, i.e., 'teaches'.
2) He has many story books.
There are two errors in this sentence. The first is that the verb does not agree with the subject. The subject here is 'he', which is singular, while the verb 'have' is plural.
The second one is that 'many' will naturally mean more than one. Hence, the adjective 'many' will always have a plural noun.
3) The two girls go to school.
The verb did not agree with the subject. The subject is 'the two girls', a plural. While the verb 'goes' is singular. Hence, the plural verb 'go' should be used.
4) Mamta did not finish his homework.
Here, two past forms of verbs are written together. As 'did' already represents the past tense, the verb 'finish' will be used and not 'finished'.
5) I don't know anything about an aeroplane.
'Does' is used for the third person. Here, 'I' is the subject, which is first person. Hence, the verb 'do' should be used.
Secondly, the aeroplane starts with the vowel sound 'a'. Hence, the article used will be 'an' and not 'a'.
6) He was happy to get four biscuits.
The subject 'he' is singular, so the verb should be 'has' instead of 'have'.
Secondly, the adjective 'four' describing the noun 'biscuits' will be placed before it.
7) We have umbrellas.
The subject here is 'we', which is plural. Hence, the plural verb 'have' will be used.
Umbrellas is a plural noun, while articles 'a' and 'an' are used for singular nouns. Hence, 'a' will be dropped.
8) He doesn't know English.
Here, 'he' is the subject, which is the third person. Therefore, the verb 'does' will be used and not 'do'.
9) I like the colour red.
The subject here is 'I', which is singular, Hence, a singular verb should be used 'like'.
Secondly, the object here is 'colour red'. A particular colour is specified. Hence, the article 'the' should be placed before it.
10) She was an unkind woman.
Here, the subject is 'she', which is singular. Hence, the singular verb 'was' should be used instead of 'were'.
Secondly, the article is placed before the object 'unkind woman'. Unkind starts with a vowel sound, 'a'. Hence, the article used will be 'an', and not 'a'.
