Nine out of the ten sentences have mistakes. Here's what's wrong:
I have ever been to Paris.: 'Ever is not used in statements. It is only used in questions. For example, 'Have you ever been to Paris?'. The correct sentence should read: 'I have been to Paris', or 'I have never been to Paris'.
The boy quick closed the door: Here we need an adverb not an adjective. In this sentence we should say 'quickly' and not 'quick'.
I like your brother. He is very kindness: 'Kindness' is a noun; we need the adjective form - 'kind'.
This test was too difficult to me: The wrong preposition is used. We should say 'for me', not 'to me'.
She has studying English for two years: Here the sentence tense does not make sense. For the present perfect we use 'She has studied...'. For the present perfect continuous we use 'She has been studying...'. For the past simple tense we use 'She studied English...'.
My father smoking twenty cigarettes a day: This sentence should be either,'He father smokes twenty...', 'My father smoked twenty...', or, 'My father is smoking...'. It all depends on the tense.
If I had studied harder,I can have passed the test: This sentence is trying to the the third conditional, but 'can' should not be used. Instead, we should use the modal verb 'could'.
My babies name is Angela:'Baby's' not 'Babies' as we are talking about the name of one baby.
What spell your name?:The correct question here should be 'How do you spell your name?'
- I have ever been to Paris.
