2. What's wrong with this sentence? "She has an own car."
3. Why do native speakers make 'mistakes' like "a song she sung in yesterday's concert" (instead of 'sang')?
4. Why do you describe a building as 'tall', rather than 'high'?
5. If you visited a school in the UK, would it be OK if you said 'shit' if you dropped something on your foot?
