× In winter the temperature can be -40° and there a lot of snow.
✓ In winter the temperature can be -40° and there is a lot of snow.
The sentence is missing the verb 'is' after 'there' to correctly form the existential clause 'there is a lot of snow'. This is a common structure to indicate the existence of something. Without 'is', the sentence is grammatically incorrect.
× I prefer hot weather because there was in Astana is very cold in the winter.
✓ I prefer hot weather because it is very cold in Astana in the winter.
The original sentence incorrectly mixes past tense 'was' with present tense 'is' and has awkward word order. The correct form uses present tense 'is' to describe a general fact and proper sentence structure.
× Uh, sorry, what means the words dry and wet?
✓ Uh, sorry, what do the words dry and wet mean?
The question is missing the auxiliary verb 'do' needed for forming questions in the present simple tense. Also, the word order should be 'do the words ... mean' rather than 'what means the words'.
× I usually, uh, don't, uh, checking the words of forecast because for my convenience, I just look out the window and if outside, uh, rainy, then I take with, uh, with me umbrella.
✓ I usually don't check the weather forecast because for my convenience, I just look out the window and if it is rainy outside, then I take an umbrella with me.
The verb 'checking' is incorrectly used after 'don't'; the base form 'check' should be used after 'don't'. Also, 'words of forecast' is incorrect; it should be 'weather forecast'. The phrase 'if outside, rainy' is ungrammatical; it should be 'if it is rainy outside'. The phrase 'take with me umbrella' is incorrect; it should be 'take an umbrella with me'.
× It's so difficult question, I don't know.
✓ It's a difficult question; I don't know.
The sentence is missing the article 'a' before 'difficult question'. Also, the phrase 'so difficult question' is unnatural; 'a difficult question' is correct. The two clauses should be separated properly, for example with a semicolon or period.
