× I feel sad when singing in front of others so I prefer to sing in alone.
✓ I feel sad when singing in front of others so I prefer to sing alone.
The preposition 'in' before 'alone' is incorrect. 'Alone' is an adverb here and does not require a preposition. The correct phrase is 'sing alone'.
× I want to sing for someone special to show my feelings singing a romantic song and be a nice way to express my emotions.
✓ I want to sing for someone special to show my feelings by singing a romantic song, which is a nice way to express my emotions.
The original sentence lacks clarity and proper connection between ideas. Adding 'by' before 'singing' correctly links the action to the purpose. Also, 'and be a nice way' is incorrect; it should be 'which is a nice way' to properly describe the method of expression.
× Many people sing in the shower and car to feel better.
✓ Many people sing in the shower and in the car to feel better.
The preposition 'in' is missing before 'the car'. To maintain parallel structure and correct prepositional usage, 'in' should be used before both 'shower' and 'car'.
