Grammar

Verb + -ing form

× I usually borrow books that I find it interesting, like some materials according to biology or some kind that I am interested in.

I usually borrow books that I find interesting, like some materials related to biology or some kinds that I am interested in.

The phrase 'find it interesting' is incorrect because 'find' should be followed directly by the adjective 'interesting' without 'it'. Also, 'according to biology' is incorrect preposition usage; 'related to biology' is correct. Additionally, 'some kind' should be plural 'some kinds' to match the plural noun 'materials'. Explanation: When using 'find' to express opinion, it is followed by an adjective without 'it'. The preposition 'according to' is used for sources or references, not for topics; 'related to' is appropriate here. 'Kind' should agree in number with the noun it modifies.

Past tense issue

× I did sometimes go to the library, but not not that often due to the fact that when I was a kid.

I sometimes went to the library, but not that often because when I was a kid,

The phrase 'did sometimes go' is awkward; simple past 'sometimes went' is more natural. Also, 'due to the fact that when I was a kid' is incomplete and awkward; 'because when I was a kid' is clearer. The double 'not' is a typo and should be corrected. Explanation: Use simple past tense for past habits. Avoid redundant negatives and incomplete clauses for clarity.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× I usually borrow books that I find it interesting, like some materials according to biology or some kind that I am interested in.

I usually borrow books that I find interesting, like some materials related to biology or some kinds that I am interested in.

The pronoun 'it' is unnecessary and incorrect after 'find' in this context. The correct structure is 'find + adjective' without 'it'. Explanation: In English, 'find' as a linking verb is followed directly by an adjective, not by 'it' plus adjective.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× I usually borrow books that I find it interesting, like some materials according to biology or some kind that I am interested in.

I usually borrow books that I find interesting, like some materials related to biology or some kinds that I am interested in.

The preposition 'according to' is incorrectly used here; it should be 'related to' when referring to topics or subjects. Explanation: 'According to' is used to cite sources or authorities, not to indicate subject matter.

Singular and plural issue

× I usually borrow books that I find it interesting, like some materials according to biology or some kind that I am interested in.

I usually borrow books that I find interesting, like some materials related to biology or some kinds that I am interested in.

The phrase 'some kind' should be plural 'some kinds' to agree with the plural noun 'materials'. Explanation: When referring to multiple types or categories, use the plural form 'kinds'.

Past tense issue

× I did sometimes go to the library, but not not that often due to the fact that when I was a kid. I'm not really into books.

I sometimes went to the library, but not that often because when I was a kid, I wasn't really into books.

The sentence mixes past and present tense incorrectly. Since the context is about the past, 'I'm not really into books' should be 'I wasn't really into books'. Also, 'did sometimes go' is better as 'sometimes went'. Explanation: Maintain consistent tense when describing past habits or states.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× I'm not really a a bookworm so I kind of find it boring to read books in my free time.

I'm not really a bookworm, so I kind of find reading books boring in my free time.

The phrase 'find it boring to read books' is awkward; 'find reading books boring' is more natural. Also, the repeated 'a a' is a typo. Explanation: Use gerund form after 'find' to express opinions about activities.

Past tense issue

× I often found content in Tiktok according to like Chinese kids going to the library and go read books or study materials that they have to go.

I often find content on TikTok about Chinese kids going to the library to read books or study materials that they have to study.

The original sentence incorrectly uses past tense 'found' when the action is habitual or current, so present tense 'find' is appropriate. Also, 'according to like' is incorrect; 'about' is better. 'Go read' should be 'to read'. The phrase 'that they have to go' is incomplete and unclear; 'that they have to study' clarifies meaning. Explanation: Use present tense for habitual actions, correct prepositions, and clarify sentence structure for meaning.
