Hi Magnitude, and welcome to the forums.
Yes, there are quite a few problems in those sentences. Did you write them yourself? . _________________ "Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power." ~ Abraham Lincoln |

Thanks for your help. Yes, it was me who wrote these sentences after having read some grammar books to use english in the right way. Here I ask for help, hastily, to check if it was far away from using the grammar rightly. |

Hi Magnitude
Apart from those numbered sentences you posted, it sounds as though you already have a good command of English. Could you tell me exactly which "grammar" books you've been looking at?
There is far more to language than grammar. It is possible to build all kinds of "grammatically correct" sentences which nevertheless mean nothing. A well-known example of such a sentence is this one:
- "Colorless green ideas sleep furiously."
Grammatically speaking, that sentence is completely correct, yet the sentence is nonsensical.
Can you tell us exactly what structures/phrases/vocabulary you've been trying to learn and put to use? . _________________ "Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power." ~ Abraham Lincoln |

Thanks,Yankee. Your comments really make sense for those sentences constructed and posted by me. With regard to the "grammar books", sorry to say, neither of them were written in English, they provided comprehensive grammar knowledge as much as, yet not as orthodox as, a "Cambridge Grammar of English" did, for an example. |

| Having checked the the english glossary, in the forms of Innfinitive or to be called The Non-finite Verb, there are some forms to be rarely seemed, the forms such as "to have written","to have been written","to have been writing". I thought it must be gorgeous to put it to usage. |
