× My hometown is which is located on the outskirts of Amritsar, a big city.

✓ My hometown is located on the outskirts of Amritsar, a big city.

The original sentence contains an unnecessary and incorrect use of 'is which is' causing a sentence structure error. Removing 'is which' corrects the sentence to a proper structure.

× It is a small town which offer peaceful and serene environment along with green spaces and fresh air which makes makes it ideal to live in.

✓ It is a small town which offers a peaceful and serene environment along with green spaces and fresh air which makes it ideal to live in.

The verb 'offer' should be in the third person singular form 'offers' to agree with the singular subject 'small town'. Also, 'makes makes' is a repetition error; one 'makes' is sufficient.

× The thing that I like the most about my hometown is calm and serene environment and fresh atmosphere along with the lush greenery which makes it more suitable for those who love to stay away from the bustle cities.

✓ The thing that I like the most about my hometown is the calm and serene environment and fresh atmosphere along with the lush greenery which makes it more suitable for those who love to stay away from the bustling cities.

The phrase 'bustle cities' is incorrect; the correct adjective form is 'bustling' to describe 'cities'. Also, 'environment' and 'atmosphere' are singular and need the definite article 'the' before them.

× I have many phone memories with my siblings and family members.

✓ I have many fond memories with my siblings and family members.

The phrase 'phone memories' is incorrect; likely intended was 'fond memories'. This is a vocabulary error rather than grammar, but correcting it improves clarity.

× So this place holds a very special place in my heart.

✓ So this place holds a very special place in my heart.

No grammatical error detected in this sentence.

✓ Definitely, I believe that it is ideal for those who want to live away from the hustle and bustle of the city as it provides a serene and calm atmosphere along with modern amenities like hospitals, schools, gyms, and cafes.

The phrase 'serene and calm atmosphere' requires the indefinite article 'a' before 'serene' because 'atmosphere' is a singular countable noun.
