Grammar

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× It is very quite place to avoid distractions and also I like to borrow books because it's very cheap away.

It is a very quiet place to avoid distractions and also I like to borrow books because it's very cheap.

The adjective 'quite' was incorrectly used instead of 'quiet'. Also, the phrase 'cheap away' is incorrect; 'cheap' alone suffices. Additionally, the article 'a' is needed before 'very quiet place' to be grammatically correct.

Verb + -ing form

× In the library, I usually reading books and uh, prepare for my exams.

In the library, I usually read books and prepare for my exams.

The verb 'reading' is incorrectly used after 'usually'. After adverbs of frequency like 'usually', the base form of the verb should be used, so 'read' is correct here.

Incorrect use of the definite article

× Uh, it's very good place to read books.

Uh, it's a very good place to read books.

The sentence is missing the indefinite article 'a' before 'very good place'. In English, singular countable nouns usually require an article.

There be issue

× No, actually there is no library in my village at that time, so I don't have any chance to go to the library as a kid.

No, actually there was no library in my village at that time, so I didn't have any chance to go to the library as a kid.

The tense is inconsistent. Since the time referred to is in the past, 'there is' should be 'there was'. Also, 'don't have' should be 'didn't have' to match past tense context.

Singular and plural issue

× But now I go library very often.

But now I go to the library very often.

The preposition 'to' is missing before 'library', and 'library' is a singular countable noun that requires an article 'the' in this context.
