I have to identify the grammar mistake in this question:

"This article tries to test a theory."

But when I replace 'tries' with 'trys' it still doesn't work. I need to know what is wrong with the sentence and how to fix it. Help please :)

-Having worked in the I.G.S company for more than a year, I am attracted to ...

Or else, how can they be written well and to be correct?

I read on the site that you have the tip of your tongue behind your front teeth, on those hard ridges. However, I can pronounce the L sound by having the tip of my tongue touch my gum, exactly the position where we produce the T or the D sound. But that is because I'm asian, I think the I'm making the L sound. But, is there any difference if the position was behind the back of the front teeth? Would the L sound be more shallow and strong? I felt that my L is too light and quick "like" when I say, "like," it feels like the word is too short and not being emphasize enough.
