× My hometown is in northern part of India and it is known as Prayagras Prayagraj.
✓ My hometown is in the northern part of India and it is known as Prayagras Prayagraj.
The phrase 'northern part' requires the definite article 'the' because it refers to a specific region. Omitting 'the' before 'northern part' is incorrect in English grammar.
× A very good schools are located there.
✓ Very good schools are located there.
The article 'A' is singular and cannot be used with the plural noun 'schools'. Removing 'A' corrects the singular-plural agreement.
× Other than that, there are a lot of coaching institutes who prepare students for engineering and.
✓ Other than that, there are a lot of coaching institutes that prepare students for engineering and.
The relative pronoun 'who' is used for people, but 'coaching institutes' are things, so 'that' should be used instead.
× I enjoyed in my hometown very much because I get peace and comfort there.
✓ I enjoyed my hometown very much because I got peace and comfort there.
The verb 'enjoyed' is past tense, so the verbs 'get' and 'feel' should also be in past tense to maintain tense consistency. Also, 'enjoyed in' is incorrect; 'enjoyed' does not require 'in'.
× Its earlier name is Allahabad.
✓ Its earlier name was Allahabad.
Since the name has changed, the past tense 'was' is appropriate to indicate that 'Allahabad' was the previous name.
× I really enjoy to be there.
✓ I really enjoy being there.
The verb 'enjoy' is followed by a gerund (-ing form), not an infinitive with 'to'. Hence, 'enjoy being' is correct.
× I lived there till my marriage.
✓ I lived there until my marriage.
While 'till' is acceptable in informal contexts, 'until' is more formal and appropriate here. Also, 'marriage' is a noun and does not require 'my' unless specifying the event; 'my marriage' is acceptable but 'until' is preferred over 'till'.
