× My name depends on my birthday.
✓ My name depends on my birthday.
No correction needed here as the verb 'depends' is correctly used in the present tense to indicate a current state.
× I was born in the Buddhist day so my parents decided to give me this name is meaning like a bird on that day.
✓ I was born on a Buddhist day, so my parents decided to give me a name that means like a bird on that day.
The original sentence has incorrect sentence structure and article usage. 'In the Buddhist day' should be 'on a Buddhist day' because we use 'on' for days and 'a' for non-specific days. Also, 'this name is meaning like a bird' is incorrect; it should be 'a name that means like a bird' to correctly express the meaning of the name.
× I'm not sure about it since I've seen other families give the new name for children like went to the temple to ask like a monk and then give the good meaning for the shy or like give a good meaning names.
✓ I'm not sure about it since I've seen other families give new names to children by going to the temple to ask a monk, who then gives a good meaning for the name.
The original sentence has incorrect verb forms and sentence structure. 'Like went to the temple' should be 'by going to the temple' to correctly express the method. Also, 'give the good meaning for the shy' is unclear and likely a typo; it should be 'gives a good meaning for the name.' Modal verbs are not directly involved here, but the sentence needed correction for clarity and grammar.
× No they don't since my my name is depends on my birthday and others in my family their name depends on their birthday, their parents too, so we usually don't have the same name.
✓ No, they don't since my name depends on my birthday and others in my family have names that depend on their birthdays and their parents too, so we usually don't have the same name.
The original sentence has singular and plural agreement issues. 'My name is depends' is incorrect; it should be 'my name depends.' Also, 'others in my family their name' should be 'others in my family have names' to agree in number. The sentence also needed clearer structure.
× I don't really know about Chinese culture but I think it's my difference because the generation has changes so that maybe have a new creativity for their children to create it. A name I guess.
✓ I don't really know about Chinese culture, but I think it's different because generations have changed, so maybe they have new creativity to create names for their children, I guess.
The original sentence has sentence structure errors and incorrect verb forms. 'It's my difference' should be 'it's different.' 'The generation has changes' should be 'generations have changed.' The sentence was fragmented and needed to be combined for clarity.
× I don't know in China, but in Thailand as I have seen is has a popular name for example like my Sherry by phone or something is popular as some generation because some of my.
✓ I don't know about China, but in Thailand, as I have seen, there are popular names. For example, my name or phone names are popular in some generations because of some of my relatives.
The original sentence has present tense and sentence structure issues. 'Is has a popular name' is incorrect; it should be 'there are popular names.' The sentence is incomplete and unclear, so it was restructured for clarity and grammatical correctness.
