Hi Alexaaa
Your rewording for number 2 doesn't mean the same thing as the original sentence.
Here's my suggestion:
original 2. There you go again.
2. You're doing it again.
For number 3, you can also leave the word must in the sentence:
original 3. There must be a so

Hi,
Original 1. There are many ways of handling the project.
my version 1. We can handle this project in many diffenert ways.
The words 'we', 'this' and 'different' add information that is not in the original. If you want to be more precise, you could say 'The project can be handled in many ways'.

"We have a lot of foods to go around."
Shouldn't it be: "There is plenty of food to go around” and "We have a lot of food to go around" ?

Liat,
The rule of using “there is” or “there are” is rather obscure. As I always emphasis, we can not determine the meaning or application of a word, or phrase based on a single sentence.
There are plenty of foods to go around- emphasizes the abundance of food. If one opts to use “there is”

I know 'foods' can be used in other contexts. I've heard of 'health foods' and I don't dispute that term.
However, I believe “There are plenty of foods to go around” and "We have a lot of foods to go around" are not good examples of the usage of the word 'foods'.
I strongly believe that "There is plenty of food to go around” and "We have
