My aunt was very depressed last Sunday. The weather was terrible. It was cold and rainy. Her husband was not home. He was at hospital because he was sick. Her children were not at school. They were not in the yard, they were in the living room. The TV was broken. The children were not only upset, they were very angry. The neighbours were not happy because her children was too noisy. The house was not clean. The sink was broken. There were dirty dishes on the kitchen table and in the sink. There wasn't nothing in the fridge. There weren't vegetables for dinner, there wasn't juice for her children. There wasn't even bread in the house! She was tired and hungry. She was just exhausted. Where are mistakes? Why?

Hello Amir! :) "The neighbours were not happy because HER children WAS too noisy." In this sentence better to say not "her", because it's not so clear, who is this "her", - it's better to repeat the word "aunt". And of course plural verb after "children". So, it should be: "The neighbours were not happy because AUNT'S children WERE too noisy." Next you have: "There WASN'T NOTHING in the fridge." You cannot use double negation in a sentence. So, you should say: "There WAS NOTHING in the fridge." or "There WASN'T ANYTHING in the fridge." (in this case you use negation only once). In the next several sentences you have the same mistake: "There WEREN'T vegetables for dinner, there WASN'T juice for her children." and "There wasn't even bread in the house!" The rule is we use 'no' before a noun phrase: e.g. There’s no address on the envelope. No biscuits before dinner! So, you should do like in example: "There WERE NO vegetables for dinner, there WAS NO juice for her children." "There even WAS NO bread in the house!" OR! It's also possible to say: "There WEREN'T ANY vegetables for dinner, there WASN'T ANY juice for her children." "There even WASN'T ANY bread in the house!" (meaning is the same) Hope, it was helpful :) Regards
