错的还真不少，每句都有点问题
第一句整体意思就没用好
忽略整体 细节上也有问题
从你的话判断evil你应该是用他的名词形式，那么既然是名词你就要给他一个冠词或不
定冠词 冠词是个虚词，所以习惯说汉语系的确没有这个习惯（广东话除外）
就用你sounds like开头举例的话
英文文法可以用sounds like "a" plan 或 sounds like "the" plan,在plan这个名词
前加冠词
不少人也许问
I am American 还是 I am an American？第一个american是形容词所以可以不加冠词
，后面一个是名词，所以要加
不过不是所有名词和形容词都是想同form的
I am English （adjective） I am an Englishman （noun）
其他您自己搞定吧。 |

语法正确当然很好 但语法不正确也没什么大关系 只要意思表达清楚让别人看得懂就行了
毕竟我们说汉语到底谁有几句是语法正确的
你的问题是用得句式不符合正常英语的说法
