The phrase 'my friend my family's garden' is incorrect due to an unnecessary insertion of 'my friend'. The correct phrase should be 'my family's garden' to properly indicate possession. This is a singular and plural issue because 'friend' is singular and misplaced here, causing confusion in the sentence structure.
× Yes, I sometimes argue with my friends, but all not all the time.
✓ Yes, I sometimes argue with my friends, but not all the time.
The phrase 'all not all the time' is incorrect due to the improper placement and repetition of 'all'. The correct phrase is 'not all the time'. This is an incorrect use of pronouns and adverbs causing redundancy and confusion in meaning.
