Correct (22): Plant trees; then you will have trees for firewood.
Explanation: The word “then” shows the result or what will happen next. “Than” is used only for comparison. So we must write “then,” not “than.”

Correct (23): … trees grow very fast.
Explanation: “Fast” is an adverb. The word “fastly” is not correct in English, so we must use “fast.”

Correct (24): … why we have to have good governance.
Explanation: “Govern” is a verb, but here we need a noun because we are talking about a system. The correct noun is “governance,” not “govern.”

Correct (25): … we were dealing with the environment…
Explanation: We always use the phrase “deal with” to show what we are handling or working on.
dealing to ❌
dealing with ✔

Correct (26): That made them understand clearly…
Explanation: We need the verb “understand” (not “understood,” which is past tense). To describe how they understood, we use the adverb “clearly.” So the correct phrase is “understand clearly.”
