1. Mistake: make
We have to use do when we talk about things that can be touched.
I always do my homework as soon as I get home.
2. Mistake: who’s
Who refers about people, if we talk about things, we have to use whose.
Whose bike was stolen from outside work yesterday?
3. Mistake: Its
Its is the possessive form of it, but in this sentence it’s necessary a subject and a verb.
It’s about time we thought about buying a new laptop.
4. Mistake: there
This sentence talks about my parents’ dog so the correct word is their.
My parents asked me to look after their dog while they were on holiday.
5. Mistake: times
The sentence is singular.
When was the last time you went abroad?
6. Mistake: should'nt
The contraction should'nt does not exist.
Maybe we shouldn’t bother with the gardening right now.
7. Mistake: interested of
The correct preposition for interested is in.
She's not really interested in going for a drink with me.
8. Mistake: said
When we are using said is not correct to add a pronoun.
Paul told me if he could borrow my lawnmover for the weekend.
9. Mistake: ring
The verb ring is about produce sounds. In the sentence the correct verb is put.
You can put your wet clothes out in the sink.
10. Mistake: plane
Plane is a vehicle for to fly, it isn’t a verb about make plans.
The advantages of her plan were planned to see.
In my opinion the most difficult was the number 9.
