× She always lend me some money to spend on my facility things, especially all my daily activity.
✓ She always lends me some money to spend on my facility things, especially all my daily activities.
The verb 'lend' should be in the third person singular form 'lends' to agree with the singular subject 'She'. Also, 'activity' should be plural 'activities' to match 'all my daily'. In English, when the subject is third person singular, the verb usually adds an 's' or 'es'.
× For example, when I want to go shopping without any budget, I usually ask them.
✓ For example, when I want to go shopping without any budget, I usually ask her.
The pronoun 'them' is plural and does not agree with the singular noun 'my sister' mentioned earlier. It should be 'her' to refer to the sister. Pronouns must agree in number and gender with the nouns they replace.
× To borrow some money to spend on it, so after.
✓ I ask to borrow some money to spend on it, and then repay later.
The original sentence is incomplete and unclear. It lacks a proper subject and verb structure. The correction provides a complete sentence with clear meaning. A sentence must have a subject and a verb to be complete.
× Yes, I have learned money to my close friend several time because some of my friend are not from the rich family.
✓ Yes, I have lent money to my close friend several times because some of my friends are not from rich families.
The verb 'learned' is incorrect here; the correct past participle of 'lend' is 'lent'. Also, 'several time' should be plural 'several times'. 'Friend' should be plural 'friends' to match 'some of'. 'Rich family' should be plural 'rich families' to match 'some of my friends'. Use the correct past participle form of verbs and ensure noun number agreement.
× So when they are in it, I always share them like my clothes, drink, food or other facility that they are in it.
✓ So when they are in need, I always share with them my clothes, drinks, food, or other facilities that they need.
The phrase 'share them' is incorrect; 'share with them' is correct. 'Drink' should be plural 'drinks' to match the list. 'Facility' should be plural 'facilities'. The phrase 'that they are in it' is incorrect and replaced with 'that they need' for clarity. Prepositions and pronouns must be used correctly to convey the intended meaning.
× So this is the best thing I always do to them and it is a good opportunity to staying stranger.
✓ So this is the best thing I always do for them and it is a good opportunity to stay strangers.
The phrase 'do to them' should be 'do for them' to express helping. 'To staying stranger' is incorrect; it should be 'to stay strangers' to use the infinitive form and plural noun. Correct prepositions and verb forms are necessary for proper meaning.
