there is no evidence that G.M food has caused us any damage
 
correct

- This jacket doesn't suit me. It is large.
 
I would say:

There is no evidence that G.M food has caused any damage to us.
This jacket isn't suitable for me because it's too large.

Cheers!
 
***neither a teacher nor a native-speaker***

There is no actual evidence that G.M. food(s) has(have) caused any harm to anyone.
This jacket won't fit, it's just too large

I can't see the mistake. If you check Cambridge dictionary you can read this example:I hope the children haven't caused you too much trouble.Which I think has a similar structure.

Can you explain to me where and why you find the mistake? :-o
 
correct

- This jacket doesn't suit me. It is large.

However, I do see one mistake in this one:
In the first sentence you say something related to that jacket, ok. The second part of you statement should be a kind of explanation. Therefore: it doesn't suit you because it is too large.
:roll:

The mistakes are that there is no capital letter at the beginning and no full stop at the end.

As a teacher of English, do you not think you should be setting a better example to learners by using capital letters at the beginning of sentences and full stops at the end?

I agree with you and I do that on the board.

but I m not used to do that on the keyboard.

I prefer writing quickly.

I understand what you are saying about writing quickly, but a lot of learners use this site and, as teachers, we should be setting a good example for them.
