They all have mistakes! Here's what's wrong::
1 - 'Information' is not a countable noun. We should say "I have a lot of information to remember".
2 - 'Good' is used in this sentence where an adverb is needed. 'Good' is an adjective. We should say "She speaks English well". 'Well' is an adverb here.
3 - 'Have you ever + past participle verb'. 'Drunk' is the past participle form of 'drink'. We should say 'Have you ever drunk German beer".
4 - We do not use 'go to' with an activity. 'To + -ing' is not correct English. We should say "In the summer we always go swimming".
5 - Each, each one, either, neither, everyone, everybody, anybody, anyone, nobody, somebody, someone, and no one are singular and require a singular verb."Each of these chocolates is tasty."
6 - 'Must' can not be followed by an '-ing' verb. We should say "We all agree that we must improve our English".
7 - We are comparing two things (Italy and England) so we need to use the comparative adjective 'warmer'. We should say "Italy is a much warmer country than England".
8 - We say 'the moon', 'the stars', 'the sun'. We must use the article 'the'. We should say "At night I looked at the moon through my window".
9 - Adjective word order: Opinion (great), colour (red) and then origin (Japanese). We should say "I got a great, red, Japanese umbrella for my birthday".
10 - 'Fun' is an adjective. It does not need an article ('a'). We should say "Remember to have fun when you learn English".
