Winged, wolly and oily.

On the edge of the forest in a warm house resided three guys - a winged sparrow, a wolly mouse and an oily pancake. The sparrow flew in from a field, the mouse ran away from a cat, the pancake ran away from a pan. They got along with each other and didт't offend each other. Everyone did their job and helped others. The sparrow brought a food - corn from a field, mushrooms from a forest, beans from a garden. The mouse chopped woods and the pancake cooked soup and porridge. In general, they lived good. The sparrow often returned from a forest, washed himself with water and sat on the bench to rest. At that time the mouse carried woods, set the table and counted painted spoons. And the pancake was beside the bake - blush and lush - was cooking soup and salts it with coarse salt, tastes porridge. They sat at the table and praised each others. The sparrow said: "The soup is oily and delicious. It is king food." The pancake answered: "I am an oily pancake. I jump in the pot and jump back so soup is oily." The sparrow eat porridge and praise it: "This is the best porridge I have ever eaten. It is hot and crumbly." The mouse answers: "I carried woods, crumbled it and threw in the bake. Then I swang my tail so the fire burned better so porridge became is the best". The sparrow said: "I am not bad too. I brought mushrooms and beans so you are not hungry." So they lived, praised each other and didn't offend themselves. But then the sparrow think...

Winged, wololy and oily.

I've never heard the word "wolly" before. Did you mean wooly as in wooly mammoth?

OnAt the edge of the forest in a warm house residlived three guys - a winged sparrow, a wololy mouse, and an oily pancake.

I changed "resided" to "lived" because "lived" sounds more casual.

Technically you should use "well" instead of "good" here, but naturally some people use "good" anyways.

Wood - plural
A piece of wood - singular

Also, I've been adding the oxford comma to your lists, but it doesn't absolutely have to be there. Just a preference thing.

And the pancake was beside the bakeoven - blush and lush - was cooking soup and. They saltsed it with coarse salt, and tastesd the porridge.

They sat at the table and praised each others.

I jump in the pot and jump back sout, so the soup is oily."

The sparrow eate the porridge and praised it: "This is the best porridge I have ever eaten.

I changed the verbs to the past-tense since that is what you used before.

The mouse answersed: "I carried woods, crumbled it, and threw in the bakeoven.

Then I swang my tail so the fire burned better so that the porridge became is the best".

The sparrow said: "I am not bad tooeither.

Such a nice story to read! The mistakes I noticed are actually grammar mistakes I see a lot of native speakers make, so there was no issue understanding. Great job!

Same, I can't stick to the same tense in my english thoughts lol

Winged, wolly and oily.

Did you mean woolly, as in covered in wool? From your next sentence, it looks like the mouse is the woolly one. Wool specifically applies to sheep, so for a mouse, I would say ‘furry mouse’.

On the edge of the forest in a warm house resided three guys - a winged sparrow, a woolly mouse and an oily pancake.

The sparrow flew in from a field, the mouse ran away from a cat, and the pancake ran away from a pan.

They got along with each otherell and didт'n’t offend each other.

Your original sentence is correct, but this one just sounds better because you’re not repeating ‘each other’.

Everyone did their job and helped others.

The sparrow brought a food - corn from a field, mushrooms from a forest, and beans from a garden.

Food is plural in this case, so you can say ‘brought some food’ or just ‘brought food’.

The mouse chopped woods and the pancake cooked soup and porridge.

In general, they lived a good. life.

Good is an adjective, so if you say ‘a good life’, it’s correct because good describes life.

In your original sentence, ‘good’ was used as an adverb, which is incorrect. The adverb version of ‘good’ is ‘well’, as in ‘They lived well’.

The sparrow often returned from athe forest, washed himself with water and sat on the bench to rest.

At that time the mouse carried woods, set the table and counted painted spoons.

Wood, like pieces of wood, is plural. When you say woods, what that means is a small forest, i.e. many trees.

And the pancake was beside the bakeoven - blush and lush - was cooking soup and, saltsing it with coarse salt, tastesand tasting the porridge.

This is a more complicated sentence.

1. I took out an extra ‘was’. Remember, the sentence should make sense even when you read it without the clause you put between dashes.
2. In the second half, with the list of actions, make sure all the verbs match in tense. In this case, I matched them all to -ing.

They sat at the table and praised each others.

The sparrow said: "The soup is oily and delicious.

It is king foodfood fit for a king."

The pancake answered: "I am an oily pancake.

I jump in the pot and jump back sout so the soup is oily."

The sparrow eate porridge and praised it: "This is the best porridge I have ever eaten.

I changed your verbs to past tense because your story so far was written in past tense.

It is hot and crumbly."

Porridge is usually not crumbly for me lol but the sentence is correct

The mouse answers: "I carried woods, crumbled it and threw in the bakeoven.

I am assuming you mean oven when you say bake. Sorry if that’s wrong!

An oven is a device for baking.
To bake is a verb.

Then I swaung my tail so the fire burned better so the porridge became is the best". it could be.”

Swing (present tense), swung (past)

In general, it’s safe to put punctuation marks inside quotations, especially for dialogue.

The sparrow said: "I am not bad too.either.

I brought mushrooms and beans so you are not hungry."

So they lived, praised each other and didn't offend themselves.

But then the sparrow thinkought...

past tense here too
