    Your first two sentences are ok. "on the side of the road" is grammatical but doesn't make sense -- they would not expect it to be in the MIDDLE of the road, after all! So it is too much information, and sounds odd. (On the other hand, you could say that if you were talking about a car that had broken down on the road, and had moved to the side of the road.)

    Maybe writing out sentences that use that word? And whenever you are trying to review the word, create a new sentence with that word, even if it is simple.

    I disagree. At least in North American English, you would say "Did you fall in the mud?" "Rolling in the mud" is grammatically ok but it is unlikely to be what you would ask, unless you had seen them rolling in mud before! I could imagine saying this to be humorous, but not as the standard way of asking why the person is dirty.

    "Do you love me?" and "Do they love me?" both are correct English. "Do we love me?" doesn't make sense, so I would say that it is incorrect; not because of grammar, but because of meaning. "Do I love?" is grammatical but sounds strange and a native speaker would not say it (well, perhaps a poet could say it!)

    You might be thinking of "crude language", which would include swear words or slang words about sex or body functions.

    Yes, it is a noun. In your sentence, it means the same thing as "favourite cartoons", that is, the cartoons people like very much. I could say, "I like ice cream! Chocolate is my favourite", using "favourite" as a noun, or I could say "Chocolate ice cream is my favourite ice cream"; here "favourite" is an adjective. In North American English, "favourite" is spelled "favorite", but it is the same word.

    North American English uses the "flap d" that sounds like "sidon". British English doesn't use that, so I think in British English it would sound like "siton" (or sometimes a glottal stop: "si' on".)

    You are correct, in written English "because" needs to be part of a subordinate clause. It can begin a sentence, as long as the main clause is separated from it: "Because I'm busy, I can't go." This word order is not as common as "I can't go, because I"m busy," though.

    I think "academic stream" just means your course of study, that is, what courses you will take in the future; the direction your studies will go. Or, your institution could possibly have different "academic streams" already written out for you, that you will choose from.

    "choose" and "select": "choose" is used for many more things, including abstract things like careers, and so on. "Select" suggests picking something out of a list or display. "I chose [irregular, simple past tense] to study Spanish instead of Portuguese." ["Selected" is possible here but wouldn't sound natural.] "He selected a diamond ring from the store display, to give his girlfriend." ["Chose" would also work here.]
