× I feel really uncomfortable to sing in front of many people
✓ I feel really uncomfortable singing in front of many people
The verb 'feel' followed by an adjective like 'uncomfortable' is usually followed by a gerund (-ing form) rather than an infinitive. So, 'uncomfortable to sing' should be 'uncomfortable singing'. This is a common pattern in English grammar.
× I believe singing is such a good way to deviate your mind from busy schedules and.
✓ I believe singing is such a good way to divert your mind from busy schedules.
The sentence ends abruptly with 'and' which is incomplete and 'deviate your mind' is incorrect usage. The correct verb is 'divert' meaning to distract or shift attention. Also, the sentence should be complete without trailing conjunctions.
× Have you ever learnt how to sing?
✓ Have you ever learned how to sing?
In American English, the past participle of 'learn' is 'learned'. 'Learnt' is more common in British English. Depending on the context, 'learned' is preferred in formal contexts. However, both are acceptable. Here, 'learned' fits better for clarity.
× how to train your walk, vocals and some other things.
✓ how to train your voice, vocals and some other things.
The phrase 'train your walk' is incorrect in the context of singing. It should be 'train your voice' or 'train your vocals'. 'Walk' is unrelated here and seems to be a misuse of pronouns or words.
× I moved to dancing as my subject, uh, from great night.
✓ I moved to dancing as my subject from grade nine.
The phrase 'from great night' is incorrect and seems to be a mishearing or typo. The correct phrase is 'from grade nine' indicating the school grade. Also, 'moved to dancing as my subject' is correct past tense usage.
× I'm singing just to entertain myself while I'm in the shower.
✓ I just sing to entertain myself while I'm in the shower.
The present continuous 'I'm singing' is less appropriate here because the action is habitual. The simple present 'I just sing' is better to express habitual actions.
× I'm just alone at my house in the room.
✓ I'm just alone in my room at my house.
The preposition 'in' is used with 'room' to indicate being inside it. 'At my house in the room' is awkward; better to say 'in my room at my house'.
× it always helps me in relaxing, relaxing and it just makes me happy.
✓ it always helps me relax and it just makes me happy.
The phrase 'helps me in relaxing, relaxing and' is redundant and awkward. The verb 'help' is followed by the base verb without 'to' or '-ing' in this context: 'helps me relax'. Also, the repeated 'relaxing' is unnecessary.
× Is what I believe is singing is a great thing which can bring happiness to people because it is a way of entertainment.
✓ What I believe is that singing is a great thing which can bring happiness to people because it is a way of entertainment.
The original sentence has incorrect word order and missing conjunctions. Starting with 'Is what I believe is' is incorrect. The correct structure is 'What I believe is that...' to introduce a clause.
× And at the same time it's I believe it has a psychological therapy so you can deviate some people from their very stressful and chaotic minds.
✓ And at the same time, I believe it has psychological therapeutic effects so it can divert some people from their very stressful and chaotic minds.
The sentence has redundant phrases and incorrect word usage. 'It's I believe it has' is redundant; better to say 'I believe it has'. 'Psychological therapy' should be 'psychological therapeutic effects' or 'psychological benefits'. 'Deviate some people' is incorrect; the correct verb is 'divert' meaning to distract or shift attention.
