× Generally I prefer to have snacks in the evening time because it's time when I am little hungry and can't take heavy meal.
✓ Generally I prefer to have snacks in the evening time because it's the time when I am a little hungry and can't take a heavy meal.
The sentence is missing the definite article 'the' before 'time' and the indefinite article 'a' before 'little hungry' and 'heavy meal'. In English, singular countable nouns usually require an article. 'A little hungry' is the correct expression to indicate a small degree of hunger, and 'a heavy meal' refers to one meal, so the article 'a' is necessary.
× So I prefer to have light snacks that time.
✓ So I prefer to have light snacks at that time.
The preposition 'at' is more appropriate when referring to a specific time. 'That time' requires the preposition 'at' to indicate the time when the action happens.
× Obviously, having a snack in the evening helps me to satisfy my hunger without having a heavy meal, so it is generally healthier for me to have snacks like fruits or.
✓ Obviously, having a snack in the evening helps me to satisfy my hunger without having a heavy meal, so it is generally healthier for me to have snacks like fruits.
The sentence ends abruptly with 'or' which is incomplete and causes a sentence structure error. Removing 'or' completes the sentence properly.
× Did you often eat snacks when you were young?
✓ Did you often eat snacks when you were young?
This sentence is correct as it uses the past tense auxiliary 'Did' with the base verb 'eat' to ask about past habits.
× As far as I remember, yes. I used to eat snacks in the evening and whenever I wanted as I was a kid that time.
✓ As far as I remember, yes. I used to eat snacks in the evening and whenever I wanted when I was a kid at that time.
The phrase 'as I was a kid that time' is awkward. It is better to say 'when I was a kid at that time' to clarify the time frame in the past.
× I usually eat fruits or lays or chips that time because I was not that much health conscious when I was younger.
✓ I usually ate fruits or Lays or chips at that time because I was not that much health conscious when I was younger.
The sentence refers to past habits, so the verb 'eat' should be in the past tense 'ate'. Also, 'that time' should be preceded by 'at' to indicate a specific time in the past. 'Lays' is a brand name and should be capitalised.
× Well, I usually prefer eating healthy snacks such as almonds or apples since they help me maintain my energy levels and also they are light and don't make me feel too full.
✓ Well, I usually prefer eating healthy snacks such as almonds or apples since they help me maintain my energy levels and also they are light and don't make me feel too full.
This sentence is grammatically correct and uses modal verbs appropriately.
× However, sometimes I tend to eat oily and fast food such as burger and pizza.
✓ However, sometimes I tend to eat oily and fast food such as burgers and pizza.
'Burger' should be pluralised to 'burgers' to match the plural 'pizza' and because 'such as' introduces examples of countable items. Using plural forms is more natural when listing examples.
