Sure! Let's check those sentences.
1. When I was "little" (young is better) I could play the guitar quite well.
This sentence can be improved by using the word "young" instead of "little". However, if you want to make it even better, you can rephrase it as "When I was younger, I could play the guitar quite well." This makes the sentence clearer and more natural.
2. Can you say "yesterday evening" in British English (instead of last evening)?
Yes, you can say "yesterday evening" in British English. It is a commonly used phrase to refer to the evening of the day before the current day. So, "yesterday evening" is perfectly fine to use in place of "last evening" in British English.
3. He insisted that he hedn't broken the vase.
It looks like there is a typo in this sentence. The correct spelling should be "hadn't" instead of "hedn't". Thus, the corrected sentence would be: "He insisted that he hadn't broken the vase."
4. He insisted on not having broken the vase (?)
This sentence is grammatically correct, but it sounds a bit awkward. A more natural way to express this idea would be: "He insisted that he did not break the vase." This rephrased sentence is clearer and easier to understand.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any more questions.
