解答：

(1) Tom has never been to Singapore, so am I.
     Tom has never been to Singapore, neither have I.
      [助动词/auxiliary verb]： have, has

(2) It was a long time before when I met him for the first time.
     It was a long time ago when I met him for the fist time.

(3) Ten thousand dollars are large sum of money.
     Ten thousand dollars is a large sum of money.
      我们把一万元当作一个整体：一笔钱，而不是一万个一元，所以用单数动词 is.
     其他例句：
     Twenty miles is a long way to walk.
     我们把二十英里视为一个整体：一段距离，而不是二十个英里，所以用单数动词 is.

(4) I am looking at me on the mirror.
     I am looking at myself in the mirror.
     我在看我自己： I ... myself
     照镜子是 look in the mirror.

(5) Her exhusband is an European.
     Her ex-husband is a European.
     European /ˌjʊə rə 'piːən/： 发音的开头是[辅音/consonant]，所以 a European

(6) Why the postman did not come today?
     Why did the postman not come today? 或
     Why didn't the postman come today?

(7) Ms Yong is the personal manager of the company.
     Ms Yong is the personnel manager of the company.
     personal = 个人的； personnel manager = 人事主管人

(8) My one is more expensive than your one.
     Mine is more expensive than yours.

唔...新人...欢迎...

(1) Can I come to see you?
(2) Who was the girl came in the office to see you this morning?

(1) 可以接受，(2) 不对

... the girl (who came to see you) ...
(who came to see you) 是一个形容词组，进一步告诉我们是什么样的女孩，
相等于华文的： （来看你的）那个女孩，如果把“的” 删除，“来看你那个女孩” 意思就含糊了

恭喜！你的解答都正确。

其实，那两个句子都没有错误，除了：
Who was ... 应该改为 Who is ... （本来想说 who is 的，打错了)

我想借此讨论的重点是

come 和 go

come 和 go 不能简单地翻译成“来”和“去”，有时用起来也不容易...

come 的方向： 朝向说话人或听话人
go 的方向： 朝向其他方向

Come here!  （朝向说话人）
Can I come and see you?  （朝向听话人）
Go away!   （朝向其他方向）
Your mother will come for you at 6 o'clock.  （朝向听话人）
We went into the cinema.  （朝向其他方向）
I want to go and live in Thailand.  （朝向其他方向）

come (with) 也表示加入说话人或听话人的“活动”：
We're going to Tebrau City Shopping Mall this afternoon. Would you like to come (with us)?

顺便研究一下中文的“来”和“去”：
谷歌搜索结果：
about 4,130,000 for "我来你家"
about 6,360,000 for "我去你家"

怎样分transitive和intransitive?
raymic 发表于 19-1-2010 03:10 PM

我在第2面说了很多吧?
简单来说transitive verb的后面会跟一个object
I really like him.
like (verb) + him (object)
如果变成I really like就没有意思了对不对?

intransitive verb就相反, 不用跟一个object
Something's happening.

(1) in front of the bus 是在巴士外的前面 （坐在那里，巴士走动时会被碾死）
     in the front of the bus 是在巴士里的前面 （坐在那里，不会被巴士碾死）

在汽车里，我们说：'in the front/back' of a car
在建筑物里，我们说： 'at the front/back' of buildings

                        at the front/back of the queue;
                        at the front/back of the class
在纸张上，我们说 'on the front/back' of a piece of paper

英文时态=[辅助动词]+[动词]
[辅助动词/do, does, did]+[原型动词/come, go, play, eat...]
[辅助动词/be, am, is, are, was, were]+[现在分词/coming, going, playing, eating...]
这些都是规定的，所谓语法，就是一些定下来的规则，违反这些规则就是“违法”，语法错误。
