Hi Muni,
1) Change "catch" to "caught." "To catch" has an irregular past participle. You also need an article for "flu:" "... caught the flu."
2) Yes!
3) You need to put the subject between the auxilliary verb and the main verb in a question: "Why are you not wearing..." It is more usual to use a contraction ("Why aren't you wearing..."), but this form is fine. However, if you are emphasizing your surprise, this form (uncontracted) is more likely.
4) Yes!
Very good, Muni! |

Hi Muni,
Here's how I would say those sentences.
1) I'm feeling feverish, I think I caught the flu.
2) You are one year my junior. (formal)
You're one year younger than me. (less formal)
I'm one year your senior. (formal)
I'm one year older than you. (less formal)
3) Why aren't you wearing a sweater? Aren't you cold?
Why aren't you wearing a sweater? Don't you feel cold?
4) I'm feeling cold.
