Double subjects. You only need one subject in a sentence. If you repeat it, it sounds very unusual. In the sentence 'Football, it is my favourite sport', we don't need 'it' as 'football' is already the subject: Football is my favourite sport.
I with my father went fishing yesterday evening. I went fishing with my father yesterday evening. (correct) Compound subjects. English speakers try to avoid saying things like 'I with my friends went to the cinema' or 'My friends and I went to the cinema'. A more 'natural' sentence is: I went to the cinema with my friends .
I agree Alina about this theme. I agree with Alina about this theme.(correct) She listened music yesterday afternoon. She listened to music yesterday afternoon. Prepositions. Many common verbs need a preposition after them. You need to learn which prepositions go after which verbs. For example, 'I revised my English test and chatted my friend' is not correct: I revised for my English test and chatted to my friend.
Places English speakers do not usually ask “where were you ?”, they usually ask “Where did you go?” . So for example, they would not say “Last year, I was in Spain on holiday”. Last year, I went to Spain on holiday .
That dress looks favourite on you. That dress look lovely on you.(correct) Strawberries are my lovely fruit. Strawberries are my favourite fruit. (correct) Vocabulary. You can't always translate things directly from your own language. A good example is 'lovely' — in English, this means 'nice', it cannot be a synonym of 'favourite'. So 'My lovely food is soup' is not correct: My favourite food is soup.
I was a guest at my friend’s house. I visited my friend . (correct) Phrases. English sometimes has a much simpler way of saying things! Instead of saying 'I was a guest at my relatives house', you can just say 'I visited my relatives'. Instead of saying 'My house is located in the city centre', you can say: My house is in the city centre.

Do you agree or not? Mistakes help us learn. You always have to correct people if they make grammar mistakes. People who know more than 1 language are better at learning than people who only speak one language. English is the most popular language in the world. Chinese is the most difficult language to learn
