× So that's uh, I prefer to listen songs.

✓ So that's uh, I prefer to listen to songs.

The verb 'listen' requires the preposition 'to' when followed by an object. Hence, 'listen songs' is incorrect; it should be 'listen to songs'. This is a common preposition usage error.

× Well umm I don't have time to learn singing so I prefer only sing a song at my home.

✓ Well umm I don't have time to learn singing so I prefer only to sing a song at my home.

After the verb 'prefer', when followed by another verb, the correct form is 'to' plus the base verb, i.e., 'prefer to sing'. Omitting 'to' is a modal verb usage error.

× Like I am a bathroom person.

✓ Like I am a bathroom singer.

The phrase 'bathroom person' is unclear and incorrect in this context. The intended meaning is likely someone who sings in the bathroom, so 'bathroom singer' is more appropriate. This is an incorrect use of noun and preposition combination.

× So I uh, I am not sure that I am a good singer so that's why I'm not like I cannot learn singing.

✓ So I uh, I am not sure that I am a good singer, so that's why I don't think I can learn singing.

The original sentence has unclear pronoun usage and awkward phrasing. 'I'm not like I cannot learn singing' is incorrect. It should be 'I don't think I can learn singing' to express inability or doubt properly.

× Well uh my younger brother he's a singer he's a professional singer and he learned umm from a professional umm artist so umm uh I want a uh that he he he sing a song for me and some something written for me and sing.

✓ Well uh my younger brother, he's a singer, a professional singer, and he learned from a professional artist. So, I want him to sing a song for me and write something for me and sing it.

The original sentence has pronoun misuse and repetition ('he he he sing'). The correct form uses 'I want him to sing' to indicate the desire for someone else to perform an action. Also, the sentence is restructured for clarity.

× Yes I totally agree with this statement. UMM singing can bring happiness to umm people's UMM because it in it, it brings a mood lift off people and also people enjoy singing while they and they are in a bad mood and they are alone.

✓ Yes, I totally agree with this statement. Umm, singing can bring happiness to people because it lifts their mood. Also, people enjoy singing when they are in a bad mood and alone.

The original sentence has incorrect prepositions ('a mood lift off people') and awkward phrasing ('while they and they are in a bad mood'). The correction uses proper prepositions and clearer sentence structure to convey the intended meaning.
