These are the sentences which have mistakes. Here's what's wrong:
They are all going accept me: 'Accept' is the wrong word. We should use 'except'. These two words are often confused. 'Accept' means 'to receive', 'Except' means 'not including'.
I easy found the shop.: Here we need an adverb not an adjective. In this sentence we should say 'easily' and not 'easy'.
Excuse me, could you make a photograph of me and my friend.: We 'take a photograph' not 'make a photograph'.
I'm going to having a holiday: 'to' should not be followed by '-ing'. We should say' I am going to have a holiday soon'.
Where does he lives?: 'He' is the first person singular and should be followed by a singular verb. The sentence should read 'Where does he live'.
Please, taking off your shoes in this room.: When we give instructions we should use an imperative verb not an '-ing'. So we should say 'Please, take off your shoes...'
I have ate breakfast: For the present perfect we use the past participle 'eaten' not the past simple 'ate'.
Everyone have done their homework:Everyone is plural so we say 'Everyone has done...'
