I sold to you my house (I don't think this is exactly wrong, but not usually written this way.)
I sold to him my house (Again, not usually written this way.)
She told me that she loved me (I would say "told" here, but I can't explain why. It sounds more natural to me. It don't think it's technically wrong, but it sounds strange.)
She told me that she loved me. (Here, it sounds like - she said, "me." ella dijo, "mi/me")
She told me she loved me. (The same as above.)
She told me she loved me. (The same as above.)
She told me about her life. (I don't think Spanish has phrasal verbs (verb plus preposition) - "to tell about/of" means contar, I think.)
She told to me about her life. (I don't know why the "to" is unnecessary. Maybe because it is assumed, since you are talking to someone.)
She told her life story to me.
City's Council (While not grammatically wrong, I've only seen "City Council")
Council of City (The same as above.)
Would you like some money? (Do you want some money?)
Would you like any money? (Do you want any money?) (Again, I don't know if there is a reason.)
I am too tired. (Too tired, implies an action. "I'm too tired to go." "I'm too tired to do it.")
I need no money. (This construction with "no" is not used much in modern English. It sounds old-fashioned and strange.)
I need no money. (The same as above.)
I need nothing of money. (This also sounds strange or old-fashioned. I haven't heard anyone speak like this.)
Some of your sentences weren't exactly wrong, but they are a very unusual or old-fashioned way of writing a sentence. I wasn't sure if there was a reason for any of the corrections except they "sound weird."
