Grammar

Third person singular issue

× it can makes me happy

it can make me happy

The modal verb 'can' should be followed by the base form of the verb, so 'make' is correct instead of 'makes'. Use: 'can make'. Suggestion: After modal verbs (can, will, should, etc.) always use the base verb form.

Present tense issue

× It is it is really make me more excited

It really makes me more excited

Redundant 'it is it is' is unnecessary and the verb must agree with the singular subject 'it' in simple present: 'makes'. The original mixes forms resulting in ungrammatical structure. Suggestion: Use a single subject and the correct third-person singular verb: 'It really makes me more excited.'

Incorrect use of prepositions

× the upbeat kind of music leaves my mood throughout the day

the upbeat kind of music lifts my mood throughout the day

The verb 'leave' does not collocate with 'mood' in this intended positive sense. The appropriate verb is 'lift' to express improving mood. Also 'leaves my mood' is unnatural. Suggestion: Use verbs that commonly collocate with 'mood', e.g., 'lift', 'improve', 'brighten'.

Incorrect use of quantifiers

× I can do a lot of more exercise while listening to happy music

I can do a lot more exercise while listening to happy music

The phrase 'a lot more' is the correct form; 'a lot of more' is ungrammatical. Use 'a lot more' or 'much more'. Suggestion: Use 'a lot more' to modify uncountable nouns like 'exercise' or 'many more' for countable nouns.

Past tense issue

× I have never take any music classes

I have never taken any music classes

With the present perfect 'have never', the main verb must be in past participle form 'taken', not the base 'take'. Suggestion: Use past participle after 'have/has': 'have taken', 'have never taken'.

Verb + -ing form

× I would love to to attend one of the classes

I would love to attend one of the classes

There is a duplicate 'to' and after 'would love' the verb should be in the infinitive without repeating 'to'. Suggestion: Say 'I would love to attend...' and remove the extra 'to'.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× we always turn the music on with the speaker so everyone can enjoy the music

we always turn the music on using a speaker so everyone can enjoy it

Use 'using a speaker' or 'through the speaker' rather than 'with the speaker' for natural phrasing. Also avoid repeating 'the music' by replacing the second occurrence with 'it'. Suggestion: 'turn the music on using a speaker' or 'play music through a speaker'.

Incorrect use of articles

× So the room is not really quiet and we can focus more on work

So the room is not really quiet, but we can still focus more on our work

Add a contrasting connector 'but' and 'our work' is more natural than 'work' alone here. This corrects article and cohesion issues; original sentence is slightly awkward. Suggestion: Use connectors and possessive adjectives for clarity: 'we can still focus more on our work.'

Incorrect use of verbs (verb form)

× music really help us on while doing our activities

music really helps us while doing our activities

Subject 'music' is singular so the verb needs third-person singular 'helps'. Remove unnecessary preposition 'on'. Suggestion: Use subject-verb agreement and avoid redundant prepositions: 'music really helps us while doing our activities.'
