Grammar

Incorrect use of the definite article

× No, I'm not into books or library.

No, I'm not into books or the library.

The definite article 'the' is required before 'library' because it refers to a specific place or concept. Omitting 'the' makes the sentence sound unnatural.

Incorrect use of the definite article

× I usually do not go to library unless someone gives me or gives me a book.

I usually do not go to the library unless someone gives me a book.

The definite article 'the' is necessary before 'library' to specify the place. Also, the phrase 'gives me or gives me a book' is redundant; it should be simplified to 'gives me a book'.

Incorrect use of the definite article

× My usual pastime is to watch movies or I surf in Internet.

My usual pastime is watching movies or surfing the Internet.

The phrase 'surf in Internet' is incorrect; the correct expression is 'surf the Internet'. Also, using gerunds ('watching', 'surfing') after 'is' is more natural here.

Incorrect use of the definite article

× Usually I will have a plan before I go to library to find some book or which could improve my knowledge or go to find some stories or the books with novels.

Usually I will have a plan before I go to the library to find some books that could improve my knowledge or to find some stories or books with novels.

The definite article 'the' is needed before 'library'. 'Some book' should be plural 'some books' to match the context. The sentence structure is complex and needs simplification for clarity.

Incorrect use of the definite article

× Yes, I studied in a residential school, so it had its own library and we had a library period, uh, twice or twice a week.

Yes, I studied in a residential school, so it had its own library and we had a library period twice a week.

The phrase 'twice or twice a week' is redundant; 'twice a week' is sufficient and correct.

Incorrect use of the definite article

× And I usually used to go there, read newspaper and find some book to read something nonfictional.

And I usually used to go there, read newspapers and find some books to read something nonfictional.

'Read newspaper' should be plural 'read newspapers' as newspapers are countable and usually plural in this context. Similarly, 'some book' should be 'some books'.

Incorrect use of the definite article

× I'm not very sure about that because I'm not a Chinese, but I think they might go and try to improve their knowledge.

I'm not very sure about that because I'm not Chinese, but I think they might go and try to improve their knowledge.

The article 'a' is not used before nationalities when used as adjectives or nouns in this context. 'Not a Chinese' should be 'not Chinese'.
