× I don't really interested in singing because I think I have no much talent for it, but I used to enjoy singing when I was in primary school.
✓ I am not really interested in singing because I think I do not have much talent for it, but I used to enjoy singing when I was in primary school.
The phrase 'I don't really interested' is incorrect because 'interested' is an adjective and needs a linking verb like 'am' to connect it to the subject. Also, 'no much talent' is incorrect; the correct phrase is 'not much talent' to express a negative quantity. The correct sentence uses 'I am not really interested' and 'I do not have much talent'. Suggestion: Use the verb 'to be' with adjectives and use 'not much' instead of 'no much' for negative quantity.
× I even won a first prize in a singing competition, which really a memorable experience for me.
✓ I even won a first prize in a singing competition, which was really a memorable experience for me.
The clause 'which really a memorable experience' is missing the verb 'was' to complete the sentence. Relative clauses need a verb to link the subject and complement. Adding 'was' corrects the sentence structure. Suggestion: Always include a verb in relative clauses to maintain sentence completeness.
× No, I have never attended a former singing class.
✓ No, I have never attended a formal singing class.
The word 'former' means previous or earlier, which does not fit the context. The intended word is 'formal', meaning official or structured. This is a vocabulary choice rather than grammar, but it affects clarity. Suggestion: Use 'formal' to describe official classes instead of 'former'.
× However, in my primary school we are offer a singing lesson every week and I have learned some music theory from the teacher during the session.
✓ However, in my primary school we were offered a singing lesson every week and I learned some music theory from the teacher during the session.
The phrase 'we are offer' is incorrect; the correct past passive form is 'we were offered' because the action happened in the past. Also, 'have learned' can be simplified to 'learned' to maintain past tense consistency. Suggestion: Use past passive 'were offered' for past habitual actions and keep tense consistent.
× I really enjoy to sing for them to makes the occasion more special and memorable.
✓ I really enjoy singing for them to make the occasion more special and memorable.
The verb 'enjoy' is followed by a gerund (-ing form), not an infinitive ('to sing'). Also, 'makes' should be 'make' because the subject is 'to make' (infinitive phrase) which takes base form. Suggestion: Use gerund after 'enjoy' and use base form of verb after 'to' in purpose clauses.
× I'm also so grateful to sing for them.
✓ I'm also so grateful to be able to sing for them.
The phrase 'grateful to sing' is awkward; usually, 'grateful to be able to sing' or 'grateful for the opportunity to sing' is used. Adding 'be able to' clarifies the meaning. Suggestion: Use 'grateful to be able to' to express appreciation for the ability to do something.
