error_description: ① Verb Tense Error: According to English tense usage rules, the simple present tense should be used to describe objective facts or general truths. The original sentence incorrectly used the past tense 〈were〉 to express a general situation; therefore, 〈were〉 is corrected to the present tense 『are』 to meet the tense requirement for describing general facts.; ② PoS Confusion Error: According to English word formation rules, 〈different〉 is an incorrectly spelled plural form, confusing the adjective 'different' with the noun 'difference'. It should be corrected to the proper noun plural form 『differences』 to maintain lexical morphological accuracy.; ③ Determiner Error: 〈life〉 is a countable noun and usually requires a determiner before it; the determiner 『the』 is added here.; ④ Adjective Error: According to English expression conventions, 〈last life〉 can be easily misunderstood as "final life" or the religious concept of a "previous life". Based on the intended meaning of "past life", it should be changed to 『the past life』 to accurately convey the time frame.

error_description: Verb Tense Error: According to English tense comparison rules, when a sentence contains a time contrast structure, such as "in the past...but now...", the second clause needs to use the simple present tense to describe the current state. The original sentence incorrectly used the past tense 〈were〉 to express the present situation; therefore, 〈were〉 is corrected to 『are』 to comply with the tense logic of "comparing present with past".

correct_sentence: There are many flats, but there are no fields and bushes.

error_description: ① Subject-Verb Agreement Error: According to English grammar rules, the plural subject 〈fields and bushes〉 requires a plural form of the linking verb; therefore, the singular past tense verb 〈was〉 is changed to the plural present tense verb 『are』 to maintain subject-verb agreement.; ② Verb Tense Error: Based on the context, the sentence describes a general fact or current state, requiring the present tense; therefore, the past tense verb 〈was〉 is changed to the present tense verb 『are』 to meet the tense requirement.
