Extremely close, but several important corrections: 1. “I walk to shop” should be “I walk to *the* shop” because without the definite article, “to shop” becomes the to-infinitive verb. 3 “The shop is open 10.00 to 11.00 pm” is acceptable but “The shop is open *from* 10.00 to 11.00 pm” is more natural. 4. “I like coffee to tea” is incorrect; it should be “I *prefer* coffee to tea” or (if you insist on using “like”) “I like coffee *more than* tea.” • The use of for 1. “help” (if an object is present) requires a direct object, particularly if “for” is used. Also, “grand mother” is one word so it should be “I *help my grandmother for* my grandfather.” 2. Again, if *help* is used and there is any object, then there must be a direct object. “Water helps our immunity system”. Other than those things, you did well.

I have neverd heard, and consequently, never used the preposition "to" as a way of showing any preference. This is very new to me so I'm gonna practice by creating sentences I could use. If anyone can give me any feedback I'd be so grateful! :) 1. I rather listen to music on my speaker to using headphones. 2. I prefer walking to riding a bus. 3. On vacation, I rather go to the beach to discovering any urban city. (I figured saying: "I rather go to the beach to discover any urban city could be confusing but I'm not sure I can mix up different times in the same sentence). 4. Do you prefer rock to pop? Feels very odd to me! Thank u teacher, and thanks to my wonderful e-classmates as well. ✰

Since OF and TO are prepositions, we need -ING after them.

@@GabrielaAttar Hi, Gaby! Thanks for the reply.Yeah, difference is that the preposition TO " The advantage TO usING " is part of the previous expression, I mean, TO has been attached to the noun " advantage ".
