Hi Twilit,
My suggestions:
"I'm a male." OR "I'm male." ? Both are acceptable
"I was chatting with you in the dream." OR "I was chatting with you in my dream." ? Both are acceptable
"The whole world is on my hand." OR "The whole world is in my hand." ? In my hands is the accepted phrase
"The fight is on." OR "The fight is going on." ? The fight is on = The fight has started The fight is going on = The fight is continuing.

Hello Twilit, Don't use ADVICES as plural form of ADVICE because ADVICE means COUNSEL and ADVICES means INFORMATION. Akram |
