The preposition 'to' is incorrectly used after 'hard'. The correct preposition in this context is 'for', as in 'hard for me'. This is a common collocation in English.
× these were focused more in learning to play instruments
✓ these were focused more on learning to play instruments
The verb 'focused' is typically followed by the preposition 'on' rather than 'in'. Therefore, 'focused more on learning' is the correct form.
× I don't think right now I will be able to sing to someone
✓ I don't think right now I will be able to sing for someone
The verb 'sing' is usually followed by the preposition 'for' when indicating the audience. Using 'to' is incorrect in this context.
