× I find it easier to understand my friends tone of voice, which helps me feel closer to them.
✓ I find it easier to understand my friend's tone of voice, which helps me feel closer to them.
The sentence is missing the possessive apostrophe in 'friend's' to indicate that the tone of voice belongs to the friend. Without the apostrophe, 'friends' is plural, which is incorrect here. Adding the apostrophe clarifies possession.
× We also talk about any recent news or update in our lives.
✓ We also talk about any recent news or updates in our lives.
The word 'update' should be plural 'updates' to match the plural 'news' and the context of multiple events or changes. Using the plural form is more natural when referring to multiple pieces of information.
× Sometime we discuss casual topics like latest cricket matches or others fault which help us stay connected and share our interests.
✓ Sometimes we discuss casual topics like the latest cricket matches or others' faults which help us stay connected and share our interests.
The word 'Sometime' should be 'Sometimes' to indicate frequency. 'Others fault' should be 'others' faults' to show plural possessive, meaning faults belonging to others. Also, 'latest' should be preceded by 'the' to specify particular matches.
× It depends on, uh, with whom I am connecting.
✓ It depends on, uh, whom I am connecting with.
The preposition 'on' should not be separated from the verb phrase. The correct structure is 'depends on whom I am connecting with' or better 'depends on whom I am connecting with.' The original sentence awkwardly splits the preposition and relative pronoun.
× But uh, usually we uh, always do the group convergence in our friends circles, so everyone get the chance to connect with each other and we share our interests with, uh, them.
✓ But uh, usually we uh, always do group conversations in our friends' circles, so everyone gets the chance to connect with each other and we share our interests with, uh, them.
'Group convergence' is incorrect; the correct term is 'group conversations.' 'Friends circles' should be 'friends' circles' to show plural possessive. 'Everyone get' should be 'everyone gets' to agree with singular subject 'everyone.'
× However, I prefer face to face communication because it's allow me to better express my emotion and understand others through body language and facial expression.
✓ However, I prefer face-to-face communication because it allows me to better express my emotions and understand others through body language and facial expressions.
'It's allow' is incorrect; it should be 'it allows' to agree with singular subject 'it.' 'Face to face' should be hyphenated as 'face-to-face.' 'Emotion' and 'expression' should be plural to match the general sense of multiple emotions and expressions.
× For example, when discussing important matter, talking in person help avoid misunderstanding.
✓ For example, when discussing important matters, talking in person helps avoid misunderstanding.
'Important matter' should be plural 'important matters' to generalize. 'Talking in person help' should be 'talking in person helps' to agree with singular subject 'talking.'
× In those cases, I try to explains my point of view clear clearly, which can sometime lead to a friendly debate.
✓ In those cases, I try to explain my point of view clearly, which can sometimes lead to a friendly debate.
'Try to explains' is incorrect; it should be 'try to explain' because 'try to' is followed by the base verb. 'Clear clearly' is redundant; only 'clearly' is needed. 'Sometime' should be 'sometimes' to indicate frequency.
× However, I think it's important to respect each other's opinion and resolve any disagreement claimly.
✓ However, I think it's important to respect each other's opinions and resolve any disagreement calmly.
'Each other's opinion' should be plural 'opinions' because it refers to multiple people. 'Claimly' is a misspelling; the correct adverb is 'calmly' to describe how to resolve disagreements.
