3. The teacher let the boy off with a warning though he was convinced of his guilt (Wrong use of preposition)
4. The Ganges and its tributaries constitute one of the largest river-systems in the world. (it's is the abbreviated form of it is and its is the possessive form of it.).
5. He has been going to the office for a year now and he can't even understand its working. (even follows can, cannot etc. and is placed before if, though, when, so etc.).
6. The sudden change of place affected her health. (wrong use of effect and affect)
7. He boasts of having visited Europe many times but he can neither speak English nor can he speak French. The sentence would be simpler thus - He can speak neither English nor French.

10. When my friends came to visit us, at the railway station, they left some of their luggage. (Luggage is used in the singular)
