× Chatting with friends was something that I was doing very often when I had not started work.

✓ Chatting with friends was something that I did very often before I started work.

The original sentence incorrectly uses the past continuous tense 'was doing' and the phrase 'when I had not started work'. The past simple tense 'did' is more appropriate to describe habitual actions in the past. Also, 'before I started work' is clearer and grammatically correct than 'when I had not started work'.

× But recently because of the nature of my work, I'm unable to chat very frequently with my friends.

✓ But recently, because of the nature of my work, I have been unable to chat very frequently with my friends.

The sentence talks about a recent ongoing situation, so the present perfect continuous tense 'have been unable' is more appropriate than simple present 'I'm unable'. This tense better expresses an action that started in the past and continues to the present.

× But when the opportunity comes I most of the time have conversations with them to discuss things bothering us and also about life.

✓ But when the opportunity comes, I most of the time have conversations with them to discuss things that bother us and also about life.

The verb 'bothering' should be in the simple present 'bother' to agree with the plural subject 'things'. Also, a comma is needed after 'comes' for clarity.

× For now because my friends and I are all matured, we normally chat about life issues example like relationships.

✓ For now, because my friends and I are all mature, we normally chat about life issues, for example, relationships.

The adjective 'matured' is incorrect here; 'mature' is the correct adjective to describe people. Also, commas are needed after 'now' and 'issues' to separate clauses and phrases properly.

× I'm always on my friends to have good relationship with their partners and also to plan about marriage because time isn't on our side.

✓ I always encourage my friends to have good relationships with their partners and also to plan for marriage because time isn't on our side.

The phrase 'I'm always on my friends' is incorrect; 'I always encourage my friends' is appropriate. Also, 'plan about marriage' should be 'plan for marriage'. 'Have good relationship' should be plural 'relationships' to match the plural subject.

× Right now I am planning about my marriage so it's always my pleasure to be talking to my friends to also find.

✓ Right now, I am planning my marriage, so it's always my pleasure to talk to my friends as well.

The phrase 'planning about my marriage' is incorrect; it should be 'planning my marriage'. 'To be talking' is awkward here; 'to talk' is better. The sentence ends abruptly with 'to also find' which is incomplete and thus removed for clarity.

× Because I have a lot of friends who also have various ideas, I prefer to chat with my friends individually.

✓ Because I have a lot of friends who also have various ideas, I prefer to chat with each friend individually.

Using 'my friends individually' is less precise than 'each friend individually' when emphasizing one-on-one conversations.

× Sometimes a person's issue might be on education, others issue might also be on relationships.

✓ Sometimes a person's issue might be about education, others' issues might also be about relationships.

The preposition 'on' is incorrect here; 'about' is the correct preposition to indicate the topic of the issue. Also, 'others issue' should be plural possessive 'others' issues'.

× So I prefer chatting with friends individually rather than to chat with them in groups.

✓ So I prefer chatting with friends individually rather than chatting with them in groups.

The parallel structure requires the same verb form after 'rather than'. 'Chatting' should be used instead of 'to chat' for consistency.

× Communications with people face to face is something that I wish I could do every day of my life.

✓ Communication with people face to face is something that I wish I could do every day of my life.

'Communications' is plural and usually refers to messages or systems; here, the singular 'communication' is appropriate to mean the act of communicating.

× This is because I get to know them and to meet them and to have a very good time to them.

✓ This is because I get to know them, meet them, and have a very good time with them.

The phrase 'have a very good time to them' is incorrect; the correct preposition is 'with'. Also, the sentence is improved by removing repeated 'to' and adding commas for clarity.

× But because of the nature of my work and also the nature of their works, I am unable to do this.

✓ But because of the nature of my work and also the nature of their work, I am unable to do this.

'Works' is incorrect here; 'work' is an uncountable noun referring to employment or tasks, so it should be singular.

× But in general, I believe that chatting with friends face to face is more appropriate for me which.

✓ But in general, I believe that chatting with friends face to face is more appropriate for me.

The sentence ends with an unnecessary and incomplete word 'which'. Removing it corrects the sentence structure.

× When I miss with my friends, there are always a lot of arguments, especially on celebrity issues.

✓ When I meet with my friends, there are always a lot of arguments, especially about celebrity issues.

The phrase 'miss with my friends' is incorrect; it should be 'meet with my friends'. Also, 'arguments on' should be 'arguments about'.

× Some of my colleagues will be fan of this type of artist, while artists will be a fan of other type of artists.

✓ Some of my colleagues will be fans of this type of artist, while others will be fans of other types of artists.

'Fan' should be plural 'fans' to agree with 'some of my colleagues'. Also, 'artists will be a fan' is incorrect; 'others will be fans' is better. 'Other type' should be plural 'other types'.

× So this always give us the chance to argue with each other.

✓ So this always gives us the chance to argue with each other.

The subject 'this' is singular, so the verb should be 'gives' to agree in present tense.
