× It was new and exciting way to search information or stay connected with my friends.
✓ It was a new and exciting way to search for information or stay connected with my friends.
The sentence is missing the article 'a' before 'new and exciting way' and the verb 'search' requires the preposition 'for' when followed by 'information'. Adding 'a' and 'for' corrects the sentence structure and meaning.
× I have really rely on the Internet.
✓ I really rely on the Internet.
The phrase 'have really rely' is incorrect because 'rely' should be in the base form after 'have' only when used as a perfect tense verb ('have relied'). Here, the intended meaning is present simple, so 'have' should be removed.
× I tend to scroll this social media which I would like to change.
✓ I tend to scroll through social media, which I would like to change.
The verb 'scroll' is usually followed by the preposition 'through' when referring to content. Also, 'this social media' is incorrect; 'social media' is uncountable and does not take 'this' here. Adding a comma before 'which' improves sentence clarity.
× Yes, I remember the time I was not allowed to use Internet.
✓ Yes, I remember the time I was not allowed to use the Internet.
The noun 'Internet' requires the definite article 'the' when referring to the global network. Omitting 'the' is a common error.
× During the exam at school.
✓ It was during the exam at school.
The original is a sentence fragment lacking a verb. Adding 'It was' completes the sentence structure.
× This was because if we had an access to the Internet, we can easy search for answers.
✓ This was because if we had access to the Internet, we could easily search for answers.
'An access' is incorrect; 'access' is uncountable and does not take 'an'. Also, 'can' should be 'could' to match the past conditional, and 'easy' should be the adverb 'easily' modifying 'search'.
× So January it was normal to prohibit.
✓ So, in January, it was normal to prohibit it.
The original sentence is unclear and lacks proper structure. Adding prepositions and clarifying the object improves clarity and grammatical correctness.
× Sometimes I find myself growing the screen for hours without notice.
✓ Sometimes I find myself staring at the screen for hours without noticing.
'Growing the screen' is incorrect; the intended meaning is likely 'staring at the screen'. Also, 'without notice' should be 'without noticing' to correctly express the action.
× And I find I want to reduce the time.
✓ And I find that I want to reduce the time I spend online.
The sentence is incomplete and vague. Adding 'that' and specifying 'the time I spend online' clarifies the meaning.
× I hardly imagine the world without Internet, but if I had no Internet, I would have to find alternative way to stay connected with my friends or family.
✓ I can hardly imagine the world without the Internet, but if I had no Internet, I would have to find an alternative way to stay connected with my friends or family.
'Hardly imagine' needs the auxiliary 'can' to be correct. 'Internet' requires 'the'. 'Alternative way' needs the article 'an' before it.
