× Oh yes, I often go to libraries especially when I need a quiet place to study or do such.
✓ Oh yes, I often go to libraries especially when I need a quiet place to study or do such things.
The phrase 'do such' is incomplete and incorrect. It should be 'do such things' to correctly refer to similar activities. This is a plural issue because 'things' is plural and matches the context better.
× The library near my home is very well equipped with wide range of books and resources.
✓ The library near my home is very well equipped with a wide range of books and resources.
The phrase 'wide range' requires the indefinite article 'a' before it. Without 'a', the sentence is grammatically incorrect. This is an incorrect use of quantifiers.
× When I go to library, I usually read the books like Encyclopedia on the end of the animals and the other.
✓ When I go to the library, I usually read books like the Encyclopedia on the end of the animals and others.
The noun 'library' requires the definite article 'the' when referring to a specific place. Also, 'the books' is better as 'books' in general. 'The other' should be 'others' to refer to additional items. This is an incorrect use of the definite article.
× Sometimes I read some holy books and uh, sometimes I when I have a mood of joy then I read a comic book.
✓ Sometimes I read some holy books and, uh, sometimes when I am in a joyful mood, I read a comic book.
The phrase 'have a mood of joy' is unnatural; 'am in a joyful mood' is correct. Also, the sentence structure needed correction for clarity. This relates to incorrect use of adjectives and sentence structure.
× Yes, in my childhood, I went to library when I was studying in the studied in the school, there was a specific period for the library.
✓ Yes, in my childhood, I went to the library when I was studying in school; there was a specific period for the library.
'Library' requires the definite article 'the' when referring to a specific place. Also, 'studying in the studied in the school' is incorrect and redundant; 'studying in school' suffices. This is an incorrect use of the definite article and sentence structure error.
× This, this was the excited moment that at that time.
✓ This was an exciting moment at that time.
The original sentence is awkward and redundant. 'Excited' should be 'exciting' to describe the moment. Also, 'that at that time' is incorrect and unnecessary. This is a sentence structure error.
× To be honest, I've not a particular knowledge about it, but the kids, the Chinese kids often go to library because they have a sharp mind and a harmful knowledge.
✓ To be honest, I don't have particular knowledge about it, but Chinese kids often go to the library because they have sharp minds and good knowledge.
'I've not a particular knowledge' is incorrect; 'I don't have particular knowledge' is correct. 'The kids, the Chinese kids' is redundant; 'Chinese kids' suffices. 'Go to library' requires 'the library'. 'Sharp mind' should be plural 'sharp minds' to agree with plural subject. 'Harmful knowledge' is incorrect; likely intended 'good knowledge'. This involves incorrect use of the definite article, pronouns, singular/plural agreement, and word choice.
