A: If we had heating, the house wouldn’t be rather cold in winter.
(Just as a side note it’s more natural to say “If we..., the house wouldn’t be cold in winter”)

If we heated the house it wouldn’t be cold in winter.

If we warmed the house, it wouldn’t be cold in winter.

A: "Thank you for your help"
"Thank you for helping me"
"Thank you for staying with me"
"Saying Thank you is polite"
"Thanks(informal) for sharing"
"He didn't say thank you, he's ungrateful"

A: 1. My teacher gave me too much homework.

2. Can you help me with my homework?

3. I have too much homework to do.

4. Can you help me with my math homework?

5. I don't have too much homework today.

A: @tomomama: Fundamentally they mean the same thing. However, the second sentence, "I still have not finished my homework" could be interpreted as you've been doing the homework for awhile and it is still not finished. Adding the word "still" is what would imply it's taking awhile to complete. As an example a conversation that could happen would be:
"Hey Tomomama, have you finished the homework yet?"
"No. I still have not finished my homework. It is taking a long time to finish."

A: @tomm: He is done his homework doesn't make sense because "is" is present tense while the rest of the sentence is past tense.
Past tense = He has done his homework
Present tense = he is doing his homework.

Hope this helps !

A: Homework is usually school-related. It's a relatively small amount of work students have to complete at home after school to submit (or to prepare for) next class. Example: answering a series of math questions from a textbook.

An assignment is generally a larger task or project that involves more work to complete and it does not have to be school-related. It's a project, task or duty that formally gets assigned to you and usually must be completed by a specified date/time.

A "homework assignment" may imply a small assignment that is to be completed as part of a student's regular homework.

In school or college, "homework" is not always graded (it may be optional or simply recommended in some cases) however assignments are always graded.

A: "In 50 minutes" would mean 50 minutes from now.

"Within 50 minutes" would mean that you have a time limit of 50 minutes to do it but you could start doing it later or whenever you want.

A: The only difference I noticed is that the first sentence is in the passive tense and the second sentence is in the active tense.

For a good explanation of have and get, look at this page:

A: I would say “anyways, do your homework already”

A: It is July 3rd, 1994, in Rwanda. It is the evening, and Amanda, a young Tutsi, is about to go to bed when she hears a sound from the basement.

A: I think it would be best as,

"My homework is easy. I attend lots of different classes, but don't have much homework. I just sometimes have to hand in a report."

> I'd like to write about my homework.

When Japanese people write English, it is common for them to start with, "I'd like to write about..." or "I'd like to talk about..."

This is natural English, but it isn't a good habit. You should remove it.

Instead, when writing in English, it is better to start with your main point. In Japanese you usually put your main point at the end, but in English you usually put it at the beginning. You could start by saying, "My homework is easy," and then explain why from there.

> I attend lots of different classes but I have little homework.

This is OK.

However, it is a habit of Japanese learners of English to use "little" more often than native speakers do. Also, "a little" and "little" have opposite meanings in this context, and because Japanese people often forget to say "a," it can be confusing to guess what the person means.

I recommend using "I don't have much" instead of "I have little." It is more natural and less confusing.

> I just sometimes have to hand out a report. So it's easy.

This should be "hand in a report."

>Is it correct?

"Is this correct?"

>Please correct if there are some errors.

"Please tell me if I made any mistakes."

A:
If I had done my homework earlier, I would be less stressed.
Or
If I had done my homework earlier, I would have time to relax.

A: Well it's a little strange to say it that way, but try saying this instead "if I had done my homework earlier I would've been able to relax for the rest of the day" it's kind of long though.

A: It should be, “I am determined to finish my homework before the World Cup match starts.”

A: Doesn’t specify what to do with the homework, can be “make sure to complete your homework” if you want them to finish it

A: I have to finish my homework today as soon as possible because I need enough sleep

A: I would always pile*....and end* up...
("would" already makes the sentece in the past tense, so you do not say "piled" or "ended")

A: Your sentence is not wrong but I think it would sound more natural to just say "Can i borrow your homework?" and remove the, to help me do mine. Through context the person you are speaking with would already know why you want to borrow their homework. Again its not wrong but it sounds cleaner, more native i think.
