1. She is proud of being such a good cook.
   Correct
   => She prides in being such a good cook.
   “She prides herself on being such a good cook.”
   -=> She prides on her cooking.
   “She takes pride in her cooking.”

2. We will go out as soon as it has stopped/ stops raining.
   Both are fine, the meaning is the same.

3. I have forgotten how to operate this machine. Can you show me how?
   Correct

4. Put the heater on to keep/ for keeping the plants warm.
   “Put the heater on to keep the plants warm.”
   “The heater is for keeping the plants warm.”

5. Why not come over at the weekend? The children are enjoying / will enjoy seeing you again.
   “Why not come over during the weekend? The children will enjoy seeing you again.”

6. That bag looks heavy. I am going to/ will help you.
   “That bad looks heavy. I will help you.”

This seems like a helpful chart: grammar.cl/Notes/Future_Will_vs_Going.htm
Both offer of help and rapid decision seem to apply here.

4. I want to know /how/ the /children in other countries.

@Tuyet8

1. There are no boys in our class.
   => There are not any boys in class.

Both are correct. As a side note, in normal conversation, the second would always use the contraction: “There aren’t any boys in class.”

2. Listen to the teacher, please don’t talk in class.
   This is a “comma splice” where two independent clauses are joined by a comma. To be grammatically correct, a period or semicolon should be used instead of the comma.

3. Mary shows / told me the way to Hoan Kiem lake.
   I think “show” or “tell” are both fine, but the present tense would require a very specific context. Maybe narrative present en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_present or Mary shows her the way on a regular basis, but generally “Mary showed me the way” would be better.

4. I want to know /how/ the /children in other countries.
   I don’t understand. “I want to know how the children in other countries tie their shoes.”
   would be correct. Or “I want to know about the children in other countries.”

I got it, Many thanks for your help. There are some more please help me.

1. Choose the best answer to complete the following sentence.

Do you mind If I switch on the radio? -

A. No, thanks B. Yes, go ahead c. No, not at all D. yes, you can

I myself choose C. No, not at all but I think B. Yes, go ahead is also a right answer.

I agree that in casual conversation, “yes, go ahead” would work as an answer without any confusion. But in a test, I think the answer has to address the question directly. So here, the question “do you mind?” needs to be answered with either, “no I don’t mind; go ahead” or “yes, I do mind, please don’t”. So in a test situation, C is the best answer.
