× it's melt in my mouth as well
✓ it melts in my mouth as well
The verb 'melt' should be in the third person singular present tense 'melts' to agree with the singular subject 'it'. Using 'melt' here is incorrect because it is the base form, not matching the subject-verb agreement.
× my father used to bring a lot of chocolate since from then I started liking chocolate
✓ my father used to bring a lot of chocolate and since then I started liking chocolate
The phrase 'since from then' is incorrect. The correct preposition is 'since' alone to indicate the starting point of an action. Also, connecting the two clauses with 'and' improves sentence clarity.
× There are different types of chocolate as well
✓ There are different types of chocolates as well
When referring to varieties or kinds, 'chocolates' (plural) is more appropriate than the uncountable 'chocolate'. This clarifies that multiple kinds are being discussed.
× I used to eat a lot of chocolates
✓ I used to eat a lot of chocolate
'Chocolate' is an uncountable noun when referring to the substance in general, so 'a lot of chocolate' is correct rather than 'a lot of chocolates' which implies countable items.
× because of my father, actually, he bought a lot of chocolate
✓ because of my father; actually, he used to buy a lot of chocolate
The sentence is awkward and lacks proper tense consistency. Using 'used to buy' aligns with past habitual action. Also, separating clauses with a semicolon improves clarity.
× Whenever he will come, whenever he'll, he'll come home
✓ Whenever he comes home
In English, 'whenever' clauses use the present simple tense to refer to future events, so 'he comes' is correct instead of 'he will come'.
× taste that melt in your mouth
✓ taste that melts in your mouth
The verb 'melt' should be in third person singular present tense 'melts' to agree with the singular noun 'taste'.
× chocolates contains substance like androphins
✓ chocolates contain substances like endorphins
'Chocolates' is plural, so the verb should be 'contain' not 'contains'. Also, 'substance' should be plural 'substances' to match the plural verb. The word 'androphins' is likely a misspelling of 'endorphins'.
× chocolate is often associated with celebration as gift
✓ chocolate is often associated with celebration as a gift
The article 'a' is needed before 'gift' to make the noun countable and grammatically correct.
× the addition of milk in the chocolate make it creamier
✓ the addition of milk in the chocolate makes it creamier
The subject 'addition' is singular, so the verb should be 'makes' instead of 'make' to agree in number.
× Would suit my preferences perfectly
✓ It would suit my preferences perfectly
The sentence lacks a subject. Adding 'It' completes the sentence structure making it grammatically correct.
× it's often regarded as supreme present
✓ it's often regarded as a supreme present
The indefinite article 'a' is required before 'supreme present' because it is a singular countable noun.
× there are many different kinds of flavors of chocolates available
✓ there are many different kinds of chocolate flavors available
'Flavors of chocolates' is awkward; 'chocolate flavors' is the correct collocation. Also, 'kinds of flavors' is redundant; 'kinds of chocolate flavors' is clearer.
× For example, you can choose from duck, milk or white chocolate as
✓ For example, you can choose from dark, milk, or white chocolate
The word 'duck' is a typo and should be 'dark'. The sentence ends abruptly with 'as' which is unnecessary and should be removed for completeness.
