I like playing something excited very much

you are right

The prices of the clothes are very expensive

I very much like playing something exciting

Hi,

1)There are less toy shops.<---------This sentence is okay.

2)The clothes are very expensive. ( " clothes" is a plural noun, do use" are".)

In oral English, some native English speakers would use" is" here though.


The price of the clothes is very expensive.( pretty unnatural here)

3) It would sit more people .or ( There would be enough seating areas.)

In English, we use " sit" as a verb in active voice to describe how many people
can gather at a spot or in a stadium for instance.=可坐得下(若干人)

"It sould make more seating areas." is sort of Chinglish. I hope I did not misunderstand it.

4) I would like playing something EXCITING very much.
I would like to play something exciting very much.
I'd like playing something exciting very much.
I'd like to play something exciting very much.
Like + to and like+ a gerund <--------- are both correct.
" I'd" is the contraction of " I would.

In English, " excited" is mainly used to talk about human beings while "
exciting" is used to describe objects.

Examples:

I am going to see Andy Lau at his fan club. I am so EXCITED now.( to describe how you feel <------- you are a human being.)

I watched an EXCITING flicker( movie) with my family a couple of days ago.

( " exciting" is used to talk about the movie. It was an exciting movie.)

Note: a couple of days ago = a few days ago


Good luck with your studies!

See you:)

About your first sentence, you may write something like" There are not many toy shops" instead.
By the way, " less" is not only used for uncountable nouns nowadays like one fellow said in here.

I like playing something excited very much .<------It is a wrong sentence for sure.

We never use " excited" for things! The one who asked this question chose the wrong sentence!
