Example sentences using "Grammar"
Q:
Покажите мне примеры предложений с I learned some English grammar
: I should put 'the' in front of 'same+noun' or 'only+noun'
Does it also apply when it's a gerund or pronoun, not a noun?
Do you use only or same before pronouns or gerund nouns?.
: I should put 'the' in front of 'same+noun' or 'only+noun'
Does it also apply when it's a gerund or pronoun, not a noun?
Do you use only or same before pronouns or gerund nouns?.
A:
Pronouns are never used with articles, so no to both. The only exception to this is (arguably) "one", as in "He bought a red jacket, and I bought the same one." or "She is the only one left."
"the only" should be used in a front of a gerund, yes, so "It was the only spelling she knew." or "The only swimming he had done was in a pool.", things like that. The only examples I can think of for "the same" before a gerund is in phrases like "This is the same thinking that got her into trouble." or "The same writing was found in different places.", but I can't imagine saying "the same playing" or "the same running".
"same" can't be used in front of a pronoun, but "only" can in the sense of "Only he had met her before" or "She knew that only I lived in the building." It can sound quite formal/literary in other places, so "I gave it to only him" is possible but much more formal than "I only gave it to him".
Unfortunately, I don't have as many definite answers for you as I would like but hopefully this helps.

Many today are calling for historical objects currently residing in, largely Western, museums to be returned to their nation of origin. .

Historical objects currently residing in Western museums. Western is the adjective modifying museums. Largely is an adverb modifying Western. Adjectives almost always go before the noun they modify.

Q:
Покажите мне примеры предложений с "formal grammar" and "formal expressions" in conversation..
A:
In English, talking formally is more about being polite. for example instead of saying,
"Come over here John" you can say
"John, could you please come here?".
Try not to be too direct or sound too confident. You can use words like
"Pardon" or "Excuse me?" Instead of "What did you say" or "What?" If you want to ask for permission you can use "May I..."
"May I look at those documents?" Even though these are polite ways of saying things, it still sounds stiff. I wouldn't worry about it that much, but it also depends on what workplace you are gonna work at. If the work is like construction (for example), you don't really need to be that formal but if it's business you probably do.

Other questions about "Grammar"
Q:
What grammar tense is this sentence? Is present progressive?
(1) Jack leaving his apartment.
(1) Jack leaving his apartment.
A:
Eso quiere decir "Jack saliendo de su apartamento", y al igual que en español ahí no hay ningún tiempo verbal, porque el verbo no está conjugado en ningún tiempo y simplemente está en gerundio y actúa en función núcleo como sustantivo. Esa oración sólo tiene núcleo de sujeto y no tiene predicado (igual que la oración "Jack saliendo de su apartamento" en español). Por eso la oración está incompleta y sólo tiene sentido con un contexto delante. Ejemplo:
A: What did you see? (¿Qué viste?)
B: Jack leaving his apartment (A Jack saliendo de su apartamento)
Ahí el verbo sería "vi" pero se omitió porque se entiende por la pregunta.
Si la oración dijera "Jack is leaving his apartment", el tiempo verbal sería "present progressive"

(1) Chloe has never been to Morocco.
But also the book have some examples with "in" instead of "to"
(2) Bob has been in Miami for two weeks.
Then Can I say?...

She has never been to Morocco – she never took the journey to that place.
If we are currently somewhere, we are "In" that place
I am in Morocco right now, but I'm going to Spain next week.

---------------
Epic Games, the maker of "Fortnite," filed a lawsuit against Apple and Google in August 2020.
The background behind the case was Epic's billing system, "Epic Direct Payment."
It was implemented to circumvent the 30% commission collected by the App Store and Google Play.
However, Apple and Google immediately removed Fortnite from their distribution platforms for violating their terms and conditions.
Consequently, iOS players became unable to update the game, while Android users can still play the updated version outside Google's app store.
In response to this, Epic Games sued Apple and Google for alleged antitrust and anticompetitive violations.

【 Veganism 】
Some of my friends are strict vegetarians, who are called vegans.
Vegans refer to those who never consume animal-derived food, such as eggs, dairy products, and even honey.
Even when it comes to American breakfast with a standard menu, things are a little bit different at vegan tables.
There are no sunny-side ups. When pouring milk into coffee, they do not use animal-based milk, but almond or soy milk. They use bacon made from a substitute for pork.
Looking at their eating habits makes me reflect on my own.

A:
Your grammar is fine! I have a suggestion for the third sentence. I don’t think you need the word “Even” because there is no need for an additional surprise to the sentence.
You can write is as:
1) When it comes to American breakfast with a standard menu, things are a little bit different at vegan tables.
You can write is as:
1) When it comes to American breakfast with a standard menu, things are a little bit different at vegan tables.
