× I think people saying that my voice is very sharp and nice, so I like to sing all the time.
✓ I think people say that my voice is very sharp and nice, so I like to sing all the time.
The original sentence uses 'people saying' which is incorrect because 'people' is plural and requires the base form of the verb 'say' to form a correct present tense statement. Using 'saying' here is a gerund form and does not fit the sentence structure. The correct form is 'people say'. This correction ensures subject-verb agreement and proper verb form usage.
× No, never. I haven't learned how to sing, but from my young age I am singing.
✓ No, never. I haven't learned how to sing, but since my young age I have been singing.
The phrase 'from my young age I am singing' is incorrect because it mixes past time reference with present continuous tense. The correct expression is 'since my young age I have been singing' to indicate an action that started in the past and continues to the present. This uses the present perfect continuous tense appropriately.
× I think my brother, not brother. Actually, my mother told me how to sing when I was young, so I learned from her and after all I learned from some Internet and all those things, then I'm singing by my.
✓ I think my brother, no, not brother. Actually, my mother told me how to sing when I was young, so I learned from her and after that I learned from the Internet and all those things, then I sing by myself.
The phrase 'then I'm singing by my' is incorrect because 'by my' is an incomplete and incorrect pronoun usage. The correct phrase is 'I sing by myself' to indicate doing something alone. Also, 'some Internet' is incorrect; 'the Internet' is the proper noun. The correction improves pronoun usage and article usage.
× Actually, I really enjoy singing because the I like the melodies and music, all those things and I want to improve myself.
✓ Actually, I really enjoy singing because I like the melodies and music, all those things, and I want to improve myself.
The phrase 'because the I like' contains an unnecessary definite article 'the' before the pronoun 'I'. Pronouns do not require articles. Removing 'the' corrects the sentence.
× I think when we are singing we get some relax and free feelings.
✓ I think when we are singing we get some relaxed and free feelings.
The word 'relax' is a verb, but here an adjective is needed to describe 'feelings'. The correct adjective is 'relaxed'. This correction changes the verb to the appropriate adjective form to properly modify 'feelings'.
× So it is very emotional thing.
✓ So it is a very emotional thing.
The sentence is missing the indefinite article 'a' before the singular countable noun 'thing'. Adding 'a' corrects the article usage and makes the sentence grammatically correct.
