× I have not that much confidence to sing.

✓ I do not have that much confidence to sing.

The phrase 'have not that much confidence' is incorrect. The correct form is 'do not have that much confidence' to express lack of confidence properly in English.

× Because my singing ability is so weak.

✓ My singing ability is very weak.

Starting a sentence with 'Because' without completing the thought creates a sentence fragment. It should be combined with the previous sentence or rephrased as a complete sentence.

× I love to listen music.

✓ I love to listen to music.

The verb 'listen' requires the preposition 'to' when followed by an object. Therefore, 'listen music' is incorrect; it should be 'listen to music'.

× Have you ever learnt how to sing?

✓ Have you ever learned how to sing?

In American English, the past participle of 'learn' is commonly 'learned' rather than 'learnt'. Using 'learned' is more standard in this context.

× I haven't learned how to swim because I lack confidence in my singing ability, so I think it's a waste of money or the time if I sing.

✓ I haven't learned how to sing because I lack confidence in my singing ability, so I think it's a waste of money and time if I sing.

The sentence incorrectly mentions 'swim' instead of 'sing', which is inconsistent with the context. Also, 'money or the time' should be 'money and time' to correctly express both as wasted resources.

× I usually always singing.

✓ I am usually always singing.

The phrase 'I usually always singing' lacks the auxiliary verb 'am' to form the present continuous tense correctly. It should be 'I am usually always singing.'

× I don't want to sing a song for anyone because I lack confidence in my vocal ability.

✓ I don't want to sing a song to anyone because I lack confidence in my vocal ability.

The verb 'sing' when indicating the person receiving the song is followed by the preposition 'to', not 'for'. Therefore, 'sing a song to anyone' is correct.

× I feel shy whenever I'm singing, like I don't have that much confidence to sing for someone else.

✓ I feel shy whenever I'm singing, like I don't have that much confidence to sing for someone else.

No correction needed here as the pronouns are used correctly.

× I think singing can bring happiness to the people because most of the people like to sing and uh, it shows their talent, it feels them, it fills them relax and it, uh, soothes them.

✓ I think singing can bring happiness to people because most people like to sing and it shows their talent, it makes them feel relaxed, and it soothes them.

The phrase 'the people' is unnecessary; 'people' is sufficient. Also, 'it feels them' and 'it fills them relax' are incorrect expressions. The correct phrases are 'it makes them feel relaxed' and 'it soothes them'.
