Present continuous

Present simple passive

2. These sentences contain common errors. Correct them and say what rules are broken
I am liking that picture: I like that picture- this should be present simple.
She learns French since 2 years: She has been learning French for 2 years- period (2 years) should be preceded by for.
If he would inherit some money, he would buy a house: If he inherits some money, he will buy a house- usually present tense is used with if.
Do you can understand? Do you understand?
There is too much people here: There are too many people here- many is used with plurals
f) He asked what do I earn (keep in indirect form): He asked what I earn-when using indirect questions we do not put an auxiliary before subject.

3. How would you explain and illustrate the difference between:

‘since’ and ‘for’: for + period ( eg. It's been raining for weeks) and since + starting point (eg. It's been raining since the morning).
‘some’ and ‘any’ : Some is used in affirmative clauses (eg. I want some grapes) any is a non- affirmative word and come in questions and negatives (eg. I haven't got any grapes).
Present Perfect and Present Perfect Continuous: Present perfect expresses an action which began in the past or has just finished and emphasises the result (what has happened eg. I have written five letters). Present perfect continous expresses that it is still going on and is used to emphasis duration eg. I
