× I go to there once a month.
✓ I go there once a month.
The preposition 'to' is unnecessary before 'there' because 'there' already indicates a place. Using both 'to' and 'there' together is redundant and incorrect.
× It's a quiet place to for studying.
✓ It's a quiet place for studying.
The phrase 'to for' is incorrect; only one preposition should be used. 'For studying' is the correct form to indicate purpose.
× Usually I like taking books from there at home and I go there with my daughter also for taking the books for kids and we like enjoying some taking a part in some meetings and some events there in the library.
✓ Usually I like taking books from there to home and I also go there with my daughter to take books for kids, and we enjoy taking part in some meetings and events in the library.
The prepositions 'from there at home' and 'for taking the books for kids' are incorrect. 'From there to home' correctly indicates movement. Also, 'taking a part' should be 'taking part' without 'a'. The sentence is corrected for proper preposition use and clarity.
× That helped me to It was a great way for us.
✓ That helped me. It was a great way for us.
The original sentence is a run-on and lacks proper structure. Splitting into two sentences clarifies meaning and corrects the sentence structure.
× I suppose that no, I think that the young people now and kids especially, they prefer some electronic devices to to reading a book and I think they prefer to use ebooks instead of read a real book.
✓ I suppose not. I think that young people now, especially kids, prefer electronic devices to reading a book, and I think they prefer to use ebooks instead of reading a real book.
The phrase 'prefer some electronic devices to to reading' has a repeated 'to' and incorrect preposition use. Also, 'instead of read' should be 'instead of reading' to use the gerund after 'instead of'. The sentence is corrected for proper preposition and verb form usage.
