× I don't like singing because I think I'm not really good at it.
✓ I don't like singing because I don't think I'm really good at it.
The original sentence uses 'I think I'm not really good at it,' which is less natural in English. The correct form is 'I don't think I'm really good at it' to express a negative opinion. This is a present tense issue because the verb 'think' is used in the present tense and needs to be negated properly.
× No, I've never learned that properly before.
✓ No, I've never learnt that properly before.
Both 'learned' and 'learnt' are past participles of 'learn.' However, 'learnt' is more commonly used in British English, which fits the context better. This is a past tense issue related to verb form preference.
× I have watched some singing instructions on the Internet but I cannot understand what they're talking about.
✓ I have watched some singing instruction videos on the Internet but I cannot understand what they're talking about.
The phrase 'singing instructions' is awkward; 'singing instruction videos' is more natural. Also, 'on the Internet' is correct. This is an issue of word choice and preposition usage.
× I think if I'm gonna sing to anyone then they might be someone who is not good.
✓ I think if I'm going to sing to anyone, then it might be someone who is not good.
The pronoun 'they' is used incorrectly to refer to 'anyone' in this context. 'It' is more appropriate when referring to an unspecified person in this sentence. Also, 'gonna' is informal; 'going to' is preferred. This is an incorrect use of pronouns issue.
× For those who really good at singing, listening to them can be a cheerful thing.
✓ For those who are really good at singing, listening to them can be a cheerful thing.
The sentence is missing the verb 'are' after 'who.' This is a sentence structure error because the relative clause is incomplete without the verb.
× However, listening to someone who is not good at singing.
✓ However, listening to someone who is not good at singing is not enjoyable.
This is a sentence fragment lacking a main verb and predicate. To correct it, a main clause should be added to complete the sentence. This is a sentence structure error.
