Grammar

Verb + -ing form

× I prefer upbeat songs because it uplifts my mood very well and I also feel more energetic after hearing this kind of song.

I prefer upbeat songs because they uplift my mood very well and I also feel more energetic after hearing these kinds of songs.

Original sentence has a pronoun reference and number mismatch: 'it uplifts' uses singular 'it' referring to plural 'songs'. Change to 'they uplift' to match plural subject. Also 'this kind of song' should match 'songs' as 'these kinds of songs' or 'this kind of song' with singular; here plural form is more natural. Suggestion: ensure pronouns agree in number with their antecedents.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× Upbeat songs can uplift my mood very well because of its quick tempo.

Upbeat songs can uplift my mood very well because of their quick tempo.

The noun 'songs' is plural, so the possessive pronoun must be plural 'their' rather than singular 'its'. Use pronouns that agree in number with the nouns they refer to.

Present tense issue

× I usually don't listen to music while I am studying because it distracts me so much.
