 • I only need ten minutes sleep, please. (non-standard)     ✔I only need ten minutes’ sleep, please. (standard) Whenever we talk about duration, value, distance or length and any of these takes possession of another noun, the possessive marker ’s or s’  is used as determined by the number ( singular or plural) of the possessive noun. Below are some examples: I need just a minute's rest.  We actually enjoyed the one month’s holiday. The book is just two dollars' worth of reading. My wife gave me a week’s worth of massage.  From here to Lekki is five hours’ drive. 

 • Where are all my stuffs? (non-standard)  ✔️ Where is all my stuff? (standard)  The word ‘stuff’ is a non-count noun that doesn’t attract the plural marker ‘s’. There are many other examples of non-count nouns that must not attract a plural marker. Some of them include: information, advice, furniture, bread, etc. It should also be mentioned that non-count nouns aren’t preceded by any of these determiners : a, an, many, few and a few.  • I have an information for you. (non-standard)  ✔️I have some information for you. (standard) 

  I will gist you whenever I come back.  The error in the above sentence is the use of gist as a verb.

When corrected, the above sentence will be rewritten as:  I have some gist for you.  I missed the sermon, can I get any gist from you?       English Language Wikipedia 

 • I was about calling you when I heard your voice. (non-standard) ✔️ I was about to call you when I heard your voice. Whenever we use semi-auxiliaries such as be able to, be about to, be meant to, be bound to, etc, we use the infinitives with them. Omitting the preposition ‘to’ also renders them ungrammatical.
