1 - 'These trousers are too tight for me.' The word trousers is a plural noun so we use 'these'.
2 - 'Have you ever seen a monkey in the wild?' Have you ever + past participle.
3- 'She's been living in London for six months.' For + length of time; since + date.
4 - 'It's much colder today than yesterday.' It's (It is).
5 - 'Driving in bad weather can be dangerous.' 'Danger is a noun; dangerous is a adjective.
6 - 'We are beginning to see more and more birds in our garden.' The correct spelling is beginning.
7 - 'Are their more of those biscuits?' 'There' not 'their'. Their is a possessive form; There is for a place
8 - 'We have less time than I thought.' Use less with uncountable nouns (time, rain, etc); use fewer with countable nouns.
9 - 'You can't pick me up from the airport, can you?' Negative statement + question tag positive
10 - 'David and I are thinking of buying a new car.' Use the pronoun 'me' when it is the object of a sentence; Use the pronoun 'I' when it is the subject.
