× I don't really have this habit into going to the libraries.
✓ I don't really have this habit of going to the libraries.
The preposition 'into' is incorrectly used here. The correct preposition to express a habit related to an action is 'of'. So, 'habit of going' is the correct phrase.
× And I let myself to, you know, fully be mess in the book that I love.
✓ And I let myself, you know, fully be immersed in the book that I love.
The phrase 'be mess' is incorrect. The correct expression is 'be immersed' or 'be lost' in a book. Also, 'let myself to' is incorrect; 'let myself' should be followed directly by the verb without 'to'.
× I prefer more comfortable spaces in order to study.
✓ I prefer more comfortable spaces for studying.
The phrase 'in order to study' is grammatically correct but less natural here. Using 'for studying' is more idiomatic when referring to spaces intended for a purpose.
× libraries provide them with it.
✓ libraries provide them with it.
This sentence is awkward because 'with it' is unnecessary and unclear. It should be omitted for clarity: 'libraries provide them with concentration' or 'libraries provide them with an atmosphere conducive to studying.' However, since the instruction is to correct only grammar mistakes listed, this is a style issue, so no correction applied.
× libraries provide them with more concentration without any distraction, so they can better study in there.
✓ libraries provide them with more concentration without any distraction, so they can study better there.
The phrase 'study in there' is incorrect. The correct preposition is 'there' without 'in' when referring to a place in this context. Also, 'better study' should be 'study better' for correct adverb placement.
× And do they, you know, daily calls.
✓ And they make daily calls, you know.
The original sentence is incomplete and lacks a proper verb structure. The corrected sentence includes the verb 'make' to complete the meaning.
× libraries are not only a great educational spaces, but they are really good places in order to socialise with your friends and they.
✓ libraries are not only great educational spaces, but they are really good places to socialize with your friends.
The phrase 'a great educational spaces' mixes singular article 'a' with plural noun 'spaces'. It should be 'great educational spaces' without 'a'. Also, the sentence ends abruptly with 'and they', which is incomplete and removed for clarity.
× libraries maybe their first choice in order to study long hours because it provide them with a variety of.
✓ libraries may be their first choice for studying long hours because they provide them with a variety of resources.
'Maybe' should be two words 'may be' as a modal verb phrase. 'In order to study' is better expressed as 'for studying'. 'It provide' is incorrect subject-verb agreement; 'libraries' is plural, so 'they provide' is correct. The sentence was incomplete, so 'resources' is added to complete the meaning.
