Grammar

Incorrect use of prepositions

× I from Iran and I was born in Adebayil, that's located in the northern of my country and is famous, uh, by the beautiful landscapes and weather.

I am from Iran and I was born in Adebayil, which is located in the north of my country and is famous for its beautiful landscapes and weather.

The sentence is missing the verb 'am' after 'I' to form the present tense 'I am from Iran'. 'That's' should be 'which is' to correctly introduce the relative clause. 'In the northern of my country' is incorrect; it should be 'in the north of my country' because 'north' is a noun here. Also, 'famous by' is incorrect; the correct preposition is 'famous for'. These preposition errors affect clarity and correctness.

Past tense issue

× However, when I was a child, uh, we moved to Tehran to continue our, uh, life and make a, a more opportunity to achieve our goals.

However, when I was a child, we moved to Tehran to continue our life and create more opportunities to achieve our goals.

The phrase 'make a more opportunity' is incorrect because 'opportunity' is a countable noun and should be pluralized as 'opportunities' when preceded by 'more'. Also, 'make' is not the best verb here; 'create' fits better. The sentence uses past tense correctly otherwise.

Incorrect use of verb tense

× As I told before, we immigrate to, uh, Tehran and I don't have any specific experience about the living in this city, but uh, sometimes we, uh, visit this city and I'm really amazed by the, uh, traditional foods and especially the culture of people because it's, uh, incredible, amazing and I'm really like it.

As I told you before, we immigrated to Tehran and I don't have any specific experience living in this city, but sometimes we visit it and I'm really amazed by the traditional foods and especially the culture of the people because it's incredible and amazing and I really like it.

The verb 'immigrate' should be in past tense 'immigrated' to match the past event. 'About the living' is incorrect; it should be 'living' without 'about the'. 'I'm really like it' is incorrect; it should be 'I really like it' because 'like' is a verb and does not need 'am'. Also, 'the culture of people' is better as 'the culture of the people'. These corrections improve grammatical accuracy and clarity.

Past tense issue

× It's a tough question because I was so, uh, child and I think when I was, uh, two years old, uh, we moved to Tehran and, uh, I just live in this city, uh, for, uh, twice a year.

It's a tough question because I was so young, and I think when I was two years old, we moved to Tehran, and I have only lived in this city twice a year since then.

'I was so child' is incorrect; it should be 'I was so young' or 'I was a child'. 'I just live' should be 'I have only lived' to indicate the present perfect tense for an action continuing to the present. 'For twice a year' is incorrect; 'twice a year' is sufficient without 'for'. These changes correct tense and expression errors.

Singular and plural issue

× To be honest, no, because it's a small city and in my opinion, umm, living in a big city are better because the facility are more than the small cities.

To be honest, no, because it's a small city and in my opinion, living in a big city is better because the facilities are more than in small cities.

'Living in a big city are better' is incorrect; the subject 'living' is singular, so the verb should be 'is'. 'The facility are' is incorrect; 'facility' should be plural 'facilities' to match 'are'. Also, 'more than the small cities' needs 'in' before 'small cities' for correct comparison. These corrections fix subject-verb agreement and pluralization errors.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× So uh, I think it's a good place for uh, older people and younger people should live to a big cities to make a opportunity to achieve their goals.

So, I think it's a good place for older people, and younger people should live in big cities to have opportunities to achieve their goals.

'Live to a big cities' is incorrect; the correct preposition is 'live in big cities'. 'A big cities' is incorrect because 'cities' is plural and 'a' is singular. 'Make a opportunity' is incorrect; it should be 'have opportunities' because 'opportunity' is countable and plural here. These corrections improve preposition use and noun number agreement.
