Grammar

Article errors

× Yes, I, I actually went to library when I was a young in middle school.

Yes, I actually went to the library when I was young in middle school.

The sentence is missing the definite article 'the' before 'library'. In English, when referring to a specific place like 'library', the article 'the' is required. Also, 'a young' is incorrect; 'young' is an adjective and does not need 'a'. The correct phrase is 'when I was young'.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× I also applied into the university.

I also applied to the university.

The verb 'apply' is followed by the preposition 'to' when indicating the institution or place one is applying to. Using 'into' is incorrect in this context.

Article errors

× I haven't gone there in a while now.

I haven't gone there for a while now.

The phrase 'in a while' is less common and can be confusing here. The correct expression to indicate a period of time is 'for a while'.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× I go there to study, you know, when, when we have major exams coming up, I need a quiet place to study, you know, to with quite a lot of very, very, quite, very various books to study.

I go there to study, you know, when we have major exams coming up. I need a quiet place to study, with quite a lot of various books to study.

The phrase 'to with' is incorrect; it should be 'with' to indicate accompaniment. Also, the sentence is run-on and repetitive; breaking it into two sentences improves clarity.

There be issue

× I don't think there were any library in my school,

I don't think there was any library in my school,

The noun 'library' is singular, so the verb 'were' should be 'was' to agree in number. 'There was any library' is correct for singular.

Article errors

× I did go to a library when I was in middle school.

I did go to the library when I was in middle school.

When referring to a specific library known in context, 'the library' is appropriate rather than 'a library'.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× I went there to, you know, to study for entrance exams into the university and that helped me very.

I went there to study for entrance exams to the university and that helped me a lot.

The correct preposition is 'to' when referring to exams for admission to a place. Also, 'helped me very' is incomplete; it should be 'helped me a lot' or 'helped me very much'.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× Chinese kids, I don't know, the smartest kids I think in the whole globe.

Chinese kids, I think, are the smartest kids in the whole world.

The sentence lacks a verb and proper structure. Adding 'are' and rearranging improves clarity. Also, 'globe' is better replaced with 'world' in this context.

Incorrect comparison object

× So I would imagine they go to the library as often as they can compare to students here in Nigeria.

So I would imagine they go to the library as often as they can compared to students here in Nigeria.

The phrase 'as often as they can compare to' is incorrect. The correct form is 'as often as they can compared to' to make a proper comparison.

Singular and plural issue

× I think they do go to the university much more often.

I think they do go to university much more often.

In English, 'go to university' is an uncountable phrase and does not require the definite article 'the' unless referring to a specific university. Removing 'the' is more natural here.
