× Yes, I really do like chatting with friends that I think it gives me a feel of relaxation and when I talk to someone openly it makes me feel like I'm valued.
✓ Yes, I really do like chatting with friends because I think it gives me a feeling of relaxation, and when I talk to someone openly, it makes me feel like I'm valued.
The original sentence incorrectly uses 'that' to connect two ideas; 'because' is the correct conjunction to show cause and effect. Also, 'a feel of relaxation' is incorrect; the correct phrase is 'a feeling of relaxation'. Adding commas improves clarity.
× I usually chat with my friends things like cupboard to university and how are they doing as well.
✓ I usually chat with my friends about things like going from the cupboard to university and how they are doing as well.
The phrase 'chat with my friends things like cupboard to university' is unclear and lacks the preposition 'about' to indicate the topic of conversation. Also, 'how are they doing' should be 'how they are doing' to fit the sentence structure.
× So most of the films are from my hostel where we used to study together in my 10th grade.
✓ So most of the friends are from my hostel where we used to study together in my 10th grade.
The word 'films' is likely a mistake for 'friends' given the context. Using the correct noun is essential for clarity.
× So they went to another places.
✓ So they went to other places.
The phrase 'another places' is incorrect because 'another' is used with singular nouns. The correct phrase is 'other places' for plural nouns.
× So I asked them how are the places and all.
✓ So I asked them how the places were and all.
In indirect questions, the word order changes from 'how are the places' to 'how the places were'. This is necessary for correct sentence structure.
× I usually chat with both I guess because I have a group uh for my school friends as well as I talk individually with different peoples as well.
✓ I usually chat with both, I guess, because I have a group for my school friends as well as I talk individually with different people as well.
The word 'peoples' is incorrect; the correct plural form is 'people'. Also, commas improve readability.
× I really prefer chatting face to face because it keeps clear face off.
✓ I really prefer chatting face to face because it keeps the face clear.
The phrase 'keeps clear face off' is incorrect. The correct expression is 'keeps the face clear' to convey the intended meaning.
× I mean like you can understand the body yes and know how they really feel.
✓ I mean, you can understand the body language and know how they really feel.
The phrase 'the body yes' is unclear and likely a mishearing or typo. The correct phrase is 'body language' to express nonverbal communication.
× But in case if you're speaking through phone or any other means of communication, it can be altered or like it can be and like.
✓ But if you're speaking through the phone or any other means of communication, it can be altered or misunderstood.
The original sentence is incomplete and unclear. Adding 'the' before 'phone' is necessary, and completing the thought with 'misunderstood' clarifies the meaning.
× As far as I remember, I don't really fight with my friends for no reason at all, but I do remember when I was in 10th grade I used to play football with them and when they didn't play good I used to fight.
✓ As far as I remember, I didn't really fight with my friends for no reason at all, but I do remember when I was in 10th grade I used to play football with them, and when they didn't play well, I used to fight.
The present tense 'don't really fight' should be past tense 'didn't really fight' to match the past context. Also, 'didn't play good' is incorrect; the adverb 'well' should be used instead of the adjective 'good'.
× Not exactly not fighting, but I would argue with them.
✓ Not exactly fighting, but I would argue with them.
The phrase 'Not exactly not fighting' is confusing and redundant. Removing the extra 'not' clarifies the meaning.
