Neither sentence makes sense. I can guess what you want to say but,rather than do it for you, I'd prefer you to have a go at rewriting them

 

[englishlearner77]

Why all my sentences haven't any sense?You mean that I don't use proper words in proper situation?I can't express an idea properly?Or The tense is problem in this sentence?

 

[Tdol]

A person can afford something, but afford doesn't work with an economic situation.

 

[5jj]

"We've already got tenth of statements"

I'm afraid I can't even guess what that is supposed to mean What are the 'statements' that you have a tenth of?.

I think the main problem is your choice of words. As 5jj told you, "We've already got tenth of statements but no one of them have been financed" makes no sense.

 

[englishlearner77]

In " statement " I mean something like an " application ".

 

[englishlearner77]

OK. I understand but how I can guess which is proper or not?

 

[bhaisahab]

In " statement " I mean something like an " application ".

I had guessed that. Did you mean "tens of applications" when you wrote "a tenth of statements"?

 

[englishlearner77]

So,can you write alternative words of "can't afford" and "statement" which can be used in an economic situation?

 

[englishlearner77]

I thought about that word too, but I chose " statement " I had made a mistake in my choise.

 

[5jj]

If you want us to help you, please answer our questions. Bhai asked: Did you mean "tens of applications" when you wrote "a tenth of statements"?

 

[englishlearner77]

Yes,I mean "tenth of applications.

 

[bhaisahab]

Yes,I mean "tenth of applications.

I asked if you meant "tens of applications", that would be possible if not very usual. "tenth of applications" doesn't make sense.

 

[englishlearner77]

and how it can be right?

 

[bhaisahab]
