comment The words India and England sound the same but why are the starting letters different?
This question begins with a false premise and boils down to a question of spelling, for which there are no good answers. I'm sorry, but it just doesn't fit here.

comment “A plough makes a furrow in the ground”
This question is closed. To appeal the closure, you may post a question on Meta to discuss why you think it meets our guidelines and the community may re-open it or may better explain why it doesn't fit here.

This is a duplicate in the sense that the referred question will help. It doesn't answer the specifics, it's true, but if you need answers to these particular questions, you are better off asking in chat (you'll need 20 rep). Otherwise, it is too localized to help future visitors. Also, generally speaking, it is best to ask one focused question (with possibly related questions) than to ask many, many questions in one post. It makes it much easier to answer.

@Mitch Narendra is saying wanna = want to, not wanna = want a.

comment Is there a gender-neutral word for [aunts and uncles], parents' siblings?
This is an answer, not a comment, but it needs a lot more information to be a good one (some citations and an explanation of nibling, for instance).

comment what word order is allowed in English sentences
I think you've gotten a good suggestion here in the comments. A comprehensive review is really out-of-scope for this site though. If you have a more specific question, we might be able to help you.
