< All of them are spoken English >
27, Put these books on the bookshelf.
28, How much does it cost for dinner?
29. It snowed so much that most buses couldn't run.
30, I thought this area's houses would be more more expesive than other areas.
31, Despite that the restaurant is normally quite expensive for a meal, the meal is small for me. <--There is another "L" in normally that I added. It might be hard to notice, so I told you here.
32, Korean people drink a lot of a drink called SOJU, which have has a high alcohol content. Better sentence: Korean people drink a lot of soju, which has a lot of alcohol / which has a high alcohol content.
33, Most people think that Indian food is the spiciest food in the world, but Korean food is much spicier. <--There is a blue "i" in spicier, in case you didn't see it.
34, Is your phone free to connect to the Internet?
35, Once I pay 60,000 won a monthly, they offer me unlimited calls, texts, and Internet. In spoken (and written) English, if we say, "Once I [do something], [they]," we usually add "will." Once I pay 60,000 won monthly, they will offer... (I don't pay 60,000 won monthly yet, but once I start, they will offer...) Otherwise, it's more natural to say, "If I pay...they offer me." This either means that you don't pay 60,000 monthly yet (same as "Once I pay...") OR that you do already pay 60,000 monthly, and this sentence tells the rule. The rule is, If you pay, they offer.
36, In Korea, we would sleep with our parents when we were a baby.
37, Is that neavigation almost exactly to show the road? This sentence confuses me. I think you are trying to say something like this: Does that navigation system show almost exactly what the road is like? (A more natural sentence would be, "Does that navigation system show the roads accurately?")
38, Please wrap up warm. pPut something warmer on.
39, It's like we're completely different.
40, My parents lent me the money. Otherwise, I couldn't have afforded the trip.
41, Shall I say that you're not here?
42, I thought you were happy with your work.
43, Why don't I feel full when I eat rice?
44, Let me take you home.
45, He took me home in his car.
46, iI brought some money.
47, Thank you for the ride.
48, I think it's quite expensive as a fancy restaurant.
49, Shall we ~ / Should we ~ ?
Are these sentences same meaning? Almost. They can both be used for propositions. (Shall we dance? Should we dance? They're similar to "Let's dance." All three can be used to ask another person to dance with you, although the nuance is slightly difference in each one.)
Shall we ~ and Let's ~ mean the same thing, except Shall we ~ gives more control to the person you ask, and Let's ~ is more assertive. Shall we ~ is more formal and polite.
Should we ~ CAN mean the same as Shall we ~ and Let's ~, but usually it means, Is ~ something that we need to do? Is it a good idea to do ~? Do you think that we should ~? If you say, Shall we ~, then you probably want to do whatever the ~ is. If you say Should we ~, it can be either way: maybe you want to do ~, or maybe you don't want to do ~.
Lastly, I think you should number your list with periods, close parentheses, or colons, instead of commas. So:
27. Put these books on the bookshelf.
or
27) Put these books on the bookshelf.
or
27: Put these books on the bookshelf.
