× I eat snacks in the middle of night when I feel like I'm hungry while watching Netflix or my favorite shows or movies.
✓ I eat snacks in the middle of the night when I feel like I'm hungry while watching Netflix or my favorite shows or movies.
The phrase 'in the middle of night' is missing the definite article 'the' before 'night'. In English, when referring to a specific time like 'middle of the night', the definite article 'the' is required to specify that particular time.
× I feel like that's the best time to snack myself, whether it is appropriate for my health or not.
✓ I feel like that's the best time to snack, whether it is appropriate for my health or not.
The reflexive pronoun 'myself' is incorrectly used here. The verb 'snack' does not require a reflexive pronoun. Removing 'myself' makes the sentence grammatically correct and natural.
× I honestly don't think it's that healthy to eat snacks because they contain carbs which are not good for my health so it is fine to eat them Sometimes, not always once a week I can use some snacks to enjoy myself.
✓ I honestly don't think it's that healthy to eat snacks because they contain carbs which are not good for my health, so it is fine to eat them sometimes. Not always; once a week I can have some snacks to enjoy myself.
The sentence has punctuation and capitalization errors affecting clarity. 'Sometimes' should not be capitalized mid-sentence, and the sentence is a run-on. Breaking it into two sentences and replacing 'use' with 'have' (more appropriate for eating snacks) improves clarity and correctness.
× Did you often eat snacks when you were young?
✓ Did you often eat snacks when you were young?
This sentence is grammatically correct. The past tense auxiliary 'Did' is correctly used with the base verb 'eat' to form a question about past habits.
× Yes, I used to eat snacks quite often when I was young, like when I went to school.
✓ Yes, I used to eat snacks quite often when I was young, like when I went to school.
This sentence is correct. 'Used to' properly indicates a past habitual action, and the past tense 'went' is correctly used.
× I used to come back home and I used to eat chips as they were very tasty.
✓ I used to come back home and eat chips as they were very tasty.
Repeating 'I used to' is unnecessary and stylistically awkward. Using 'I used to' once followed by the base verb 'eat' is sufficient to express past habitual actions.
× Mostly I like avocado toast, chips, banana chips, cheese toast, certain sort of sandwiches.
✓ Mostly I like avocado toast, chips, banana chips, cheese toast, and certain sorts of sandwiches.
The phrase 'certain sort of sandwiches' is incorrect because 'sandwiches' is plural and should be matched with 'sorts' in plural form. Also, adding 'and' before the last item improves sentence flow.
