× I was born and a nourished her.
✓ I was born and raised here.
The phrase 'a nourished her' is incorrect. The correct past tense verb to describe being brought up in a place is 'raised'. Also, 'here' is the correct pronoun to refer to the current location, not 'her'. This correction fixes the verb tense and pronoun usage.
× I was born and a nourished her.
✓ I was born and raised here.
The pronoun 'her' is incorrectly used to refer to the place. The correct pronoun is 'here' to indicate the location where the speaker was born and raised.
× every single house has a little garden in front of their house
✓ every single house has a little garden in front of it
The pronoun 'their' is plural and does not agree with the singular noun 'every single house'. The correct singular pronoun is 'it' to match the singular noun.
× So I believe that the people my age will love it to live in this hometown.
✓ So I believe that people my age will love living in this hometown.
The phrase 'love it to live' is incorrect. The correct structure is 'love living' to express enjoyment of an activity. Also, 'the people my age' can be simplified to 'people my age' for naturalness.
