1. "on" is the word used in the US. I'm not sure if it's different in the UK.
She invites me for a walk. ~~>unusual phrasing
She invited me to go for a walk. ~~>standard phrasing
2. She makes a living by teaching. = OK
She was sorry that I hadn't read that book.
[To regret something is to be sorry for something SHE (or whoever the subject of the sentence is) did.]
3) It is reported that she lived in London. (Active: Newspapers report that she lived....) = OK
4) She recommended that I should take an umbrella/that I take an umbrella.
(If you say "she recommended me..." then you're saying that she is praising you; she is saying you're the best for the job.)
Could you please check these few sentences, please? Thank you very much!
1) Can't you say "cheat in the maths test"or is only on possible?
She invites me for a walk (is it a mistake? She invited me to go for a walk)
2) She makes a living by teaching.
She was sorry (is it possible instead of "she regretted"?) because I hadn't read that book.
3) It is reported that she lived in London. (Active: Newspapers report that she lived....)
4) She recommended me to take an umbrella (corrections: She recommended that I should take an umbrella/that I take an umbrella)
