× Just I am fond of reading books so that's why I go to library on every weekend.
✓ I am just fond of reading books, so that's why I go to the library every weekend.
The adverb 'just' is incorrectly placed at the beginning of the sentence, which disrupts the natural word order. It should be placed after the subject 'I' to correctly modify the verb phrase. Also, 'on every weekend' is incorrect; the preposition 'on' is unnecessary here, and 'the library' requires the definite article 'the' because it refers to a specific place.
× Just I am fond of reading books so that's why I go to library on every weekend.
✓ I am just fond of reading books, so that's why I go to the library every weekend.
The noun 'library' is a specific place in this context, so it requires the definite article 'the'. Omitting 'the' before 'library' is incorrect.
× Just I am fond of reading books so that's why I go to library on every weekend.
✓ I am just fond of reading books, so that's why I go to the library every weekend.
The phrase 'on every weekend' is incorrect because 'on' is not used with 'every weekend'. The correct expression is simply 'every weekend' without a preposition.
× In library I usually read books because it's a quiet place and I can easily concentrate so on my studies.
✓ In the library, I usually read books because it's a quiet place and I can easily concentrate on my studies.
The noun 'library' is a specific place, so it requires the definite article 'the'. Also, the phrase 'concentrate so on my studies' is incorrect; 'so' should be removed to maintain correct prepositional usage.
× In library I usually read books because it's a quiet place and I can easily concentrate so on my studies.
✓ In the library, I usually read books because it's a quiet place and I can easily concentrate on my studies.
The preposition 'on' is correctly used with 'concentrate', but the word 'so' before 'on' is unnecessary and incorrect, so it should be removed.
× And sometimes I go with the UH groups.
✓ And sometimes I go with the UH group.
The phrase 'the UH groups' is unclear and likely incorrect. If referring to a single group, 'group' should be singular. If multiple groups are intended, more context is needed. Assuming singular, 'group' is correct.
× So we did a group study in a special room.
✓ So we did group study in a special room.
The phrase 'a group study' is less common; 'group study' without an article is more natural in this context.
× Just when I was a children I used to go to library for reading comic books and the some poetry books.
✓ Just when I was a child, I used to go to the library to read comic books and some poetry books.
The word 'children' is plural, but the sentence refers to a singular subject 'I', so 'child' is correct. Also, 'the some poetry books' is incorrect; 'some' should be used without 'the'. Additionally, 'to read' is the correct infinitive form after 'go' in this context.
× Just when I was a children I used to go to library for reading comic books and the some poetry books.
✓ Just when I was a child, I used to go to the library to read comic books and some poetry books.
The noun 'library' requires the definite article 'the' because it refers to a specific place. Also, 'the some poetry books' is incorrect; 'some' should be used without 'the'.
× Just when I was a children I used to go to library for reading comic books and the some poetry books.
✓ Just when I was a child, I used to go to the library to read comic books and some poetry books.
The phrase 'go to library for reading' is incorrect; the correct preposition and verb form is 'go to the library to read'.
× So I used to go there and there was a library in my school so I used to visit it.
✓ So I used to go there, and there was a library in my school, so I used to visit it.
This sentence is grammatically correct but could benefit from commas for clarity. No article errors here.
× Ah, I really don't know about Chinese kids because I'm from India so I don't have knowledge about them.
✓ Ah, I really don't know about Chinese kids because I'm from India, so I don't have knowledge about them.
The sentence is grammatically correct; adding a comma improves readability. No pronoun errors detected.
× But uh, I think from the uh, uh, cartoons, I have seen some uh, uh, shows where I have seen the Chinese kids are going to the library.
✓ But, uh, I think from cartoons, I have seen some shows where Chinese kids go to the library.
The sentence is wordy and contains filler words 'uh' excessively. Also, 'I have seen the Chinese kids are going' is incorrect; it should be 'Chinese kids go' to maintain correct tense and sentence structure.
