× I had say museums are very important because it allows us to walk through the life or life of a past experience or umm, it allows us to know what umm, real thing happened in the past.
✓ I would say museums are very important because they allow us to learn about past lives and real events that happened in history.
Original sentence mixes tenses and uses incorrect subject-verb agreement ('it allows' with plural 'museums') and awkward phrasing. Change 'I had say' to 'I would say' for a polite opinion. Use plural pronoun 'they' to agree with plural 'museums' and 'allow' as the verb. Replace 'walk through the life or life of a past experience' with 'learn about past lives' and 'real thing happened in the past' with 'real events that happened in history' for clarity and grammatical correctness.
× Yes, there are very many museums in my hometown. One such I can think of is a Gandhi museum.
✓ Yes, there are many museums in my hometown. One I can think of is a Gandhi museum.
Phrase 'very many' is uncommon; use 'many'. 'One such I can think of' is awkward—use 'One I can think of' for natural English. No tense change needed.
× It has all of his umm thing, umm, his stick, the clothes he wears, umm, the clock he has, the watches he wear, he has everything in the garden.
✓ It has all of his belongings, such as his walking stick, the clothes he wore, the clock he owned, and the watches he had; everything is displayed in the garden.
Pronoun and verb forms are inconsistent. Use 'his belongings' to summarize items. Use past forms 'wore', 'owned', 'had' because these refer to a historical figure. 'The watches he wear' is incorrect—change to 'the watches he had'. Clarify 'in the garden' by saying 'displayed in the garden'.
× I visit a museum from time to time, umm, to let me know that not everything is umm, not everything is uh, forever, umm, they, there are many coins, gold coins which the kings have, umm, on the grounds which they have.
✓ I visit museums from time to time to remind me that not everything is permanent; for example, there are many gold coins that kings once had and that are displayed on the grounds.
Use plural 'museums' if speaking generally. 'To let me know' is awkward—use 'to remind me'. 'Not everything is forever' is better as 'not everything is permanent'. 'Which the kings have' should be past or passive: 'that kings once had' or 'that are displayed'. Clean up redundancy and clarify meaning.
× So it helps me think that we should always be down to earth.
✓ So it helps me realize that we should always stay humble and down to earth.
'Helps me think that' is awkward—use 'helps me realize that'. 'Always be down to earth' is understandable but 'stay humble and down to earth' is more natural.
× Umm, I visited, I visited a museum not too long ago, umm, just last autumn.
✓ I visited a museum not too long ago, just last autumn.
Repetition 'I visited, I visited' is redundant. Past tense 'visited' is correct for a past event; streamline the sentence to remove repetition.
× Umm, it was in Brampton. It, it is called Umm, Nelson Mandela Museums and it has everything related to him.
✓ It was in Brampton. It is called the Nelson Mandela Museum and it has many items related to him.
Use singular 'Museum' if referring to one institution and include the definite article 'the' before the proper name. 'Nelson Mandela Museums' is plural and likely incorrect. 'Everything related to him' is hyperbolic—'many items related to him' is more natural.
