Grammar

Future tense issue

× When I was preparing the exam and doing my homework, I will visit the library for book searching about some history information.

When I was preparing for the exam and doing my homework, I would visit the library to search for some historical information.

The sentence describes a past habitual action, so the future tense 'will visit' is incorrect. The correct modal verb to express past habitual actions is 'would'. Also, 'preparing the exam' should be 'preparing for the exam', and 'book searching about some history information' is better expressed as 'to search for some historical information'.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× When I was preparing the exam and doing my homework, I will visit the library for book searching about some history information.

When I was preparing for the exam and doing my homework, I would visit the library to search for some historical information.

The preposition 'for' is needed after 'preparing' to indicate the object of preparation. Also, 'for book searching about' is incorrect; the correct phrase is 'to search for'.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× For me, I usually study for exams in individual study rooms and also visit the adult sessions in library for searching some novel books and also some information exam like DSC exam exercise in the library.

For me, I usually study for exams in individual study rooms and also visit the adult section in the library to search for some novels and some exam information like DSC exam exercises in the library.

The phrase 'in library' should be 'in the library' because the definite article is required. 'Adult sessions' is likely intended to be 'adult section'. 'For searching' should be 'to search for' to express purpose correctly. 'Novel books' is better as 'novels'. 'Information exam like DSC exam exercise' is unclear and corrected to 'exam information like DSC exam exercises'.

Past tense issue

× Yes, I usually go to the library. When I was a kid, my parents often bring me to the library to reading some kid books and it's really fun for spending time with other kids in the library in reading many kinds of books.

Yes, I usually went to the library. When I was a kid, my parents often brought me to the library to read some children's books and it was really fun to spend time with other kids in the library reading many kinds of books.

The sentence mixes present tense 'go' and 'bring' with past time reference 'when I was a kid'. The verbs should be in past tense 'went' and 'brought'. 'To reading' should be 'to read' as the infinitive form is required after 'to'. 'Kid books' is better expressed as 'children's books'. 'It's really fun for spending time' should be 'it was really fun to spend time' to match past tense and correct infinitive usage.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× When I was a kid, my parents often bring me to the library to reading some kid books and it's really fun for spending time with other kids in the library in reading many kinds of books.

When I was a kid, my parents often brought me to the library to read some children's books and it was really fun to spend time with other kids in the library reading many kinds of books.

The phrase 'in reading many kinds of books' is awkward; it is better to say 'reading many kinds of books' without 'in'. Also, 'to reading' should be 'to read' as the infinitive form is required after 'to'.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× I think Chinese kids often go to library because many of the parents were working on the weekdays, so their grandpa or grandma will bring them to the library to spend the time when they were a kid for reading some book in a free no pay charge.

I think Chinese kids often go to the library because many parents work on weekdays, so their grandpa or grandma will bring them to the library to spend time reading some books free of charge when they are kids.

The phrase 'go to library' needs the definite article 'the library'. 'Were working on the weekdays' is better as 'work on weekdays' to express habitual action. 'Spend the time when they were a kid' is awkward; better is 'spend time reading some books free of charge when they are kids'. 'No pay charge' is incorrect; the correct phrase is 'free of charge'. Also, 'some book' should be plural 'some books'.
