× It's small but have all the facilities like transportation and in commercial facilities.
✓ It's small but has all the facilities like transportation and commercial facilities.
The subject 'It' is singular, so the verb should be 'has' instead of 'have' to agree in number. Also, 'in commercial facilities' is incorrect; it should be 'commercial facilities' without 'in'. This correction ensures subject-verb agreement and proper noun phrase usage.
× It's small but have all the facilities like transportation and in commercial facilities.
✓ It's small but has all the facilities like transportation and commercial facilities.
The preposition 'in' before 'commercial facilities' is unnecessary and incorrect here. Facilities are listed directly without a preposition. Removing 'in' makes the sentence grammatically correct.
× There are ample of things I like about my hometown.
✓ There are ample things I like about my hometown.
The quantifier 'ample' should not be followed by 'of'. The correct form is 'ample things' without 'of'. This is a common error with quantifiers and needs correction for proper usage.
× It's familiar environment for me and I really appreciate the community and facilities available there.
✓ It's a familiar environment for me and I really appreciate the community and facilities available there.
The adjective 'familiar' requires an article 'a' before the noun 'environment' because 'environment' is a singular countable noun. Omitting the article makes the sentence grammatically incorrect.
