He is deficient in common sense, or he lacks common sense. Which one is better.
There is sufficient water in the pond.
He helps poor and supplies them with clothes and food.
He was inquiring to the gate man, or he was inquiring from the gate man.
He was very convinced of buying a replica Rolex watch.
I was scared of telling the truth. My fear prevented me from revealing the facts. I kept silence all the time.
I am very sensitive to daylight. Or my skin is sensitive to daylight.
I crave for a beautiful skin like she has.
If you correct the mistakes I will be very grateful to you.
He is associated with our company. Don't associate it with dehydration your skin has nothing to do with it.
I am eager for success.
He was caught for his false claims.
This company aims at providing value-added products to its customers.
Find a good job for yourself instead of depending on your parents. Be independent and grow-up.
Not abstaining dear. He is abstemious in eating burgers, fried rice, and zingers (It is correct).
I found him conspicuous of your absence.
My teacher is vexed with me, I always go late in the class. Is it ok now?
Thanks once again for pointing out the mistakes.

HelloHe is deficient in common sense, or he lacks common sense. Which one is better? The second one. You are generally deficient in something tangible. He might be deficient in brain cells which might make him lack common sense. See?
He helps the poor and supplies them with clothes and food.
He was inquiring to the gate man, or he was inquiring from the gate man. (Generally you inquire/enquire about "something". He was enquiring about the performance from the gate man.)
I was scared of telling the truth. My fear prevented me from revealing the facts. I kept
I am very sensitive to
I crave for a beautiful skin like she has. I crave the beautiful skin like she has.
Not abstaining dear. He is abstemious in eating burgers, fried rice, and zingers (It is correct). No, a person cannot be abstemious. Abstemious refers to a thing. In this case, "an abstemious diet", etc.
I found him conspicuous of your absence.(The word "conspicious" is not used in this way)
My teacher is vexed with me, I always arrive late
