× Pretty good at memorizing things when I was younger, but it seems like as I get older my cognitive abilities. Decreases.
✓ I was pretty good at memorizing things when I was younger, but it seems like as I get older, my cognitive abilities decrease.
The original sentence is fragmented and incorrectly punctuated. 'Pretty good at memorizing things when I was younger' is a sentence fragment lacking a subject and verb. Also, 'my cognitive abilities. Decreases.' is incorrectly split and has subject-verb disagreement. The corrected sentence combines these ideas properly and corrects the verb to agree with the plural subject 'abilities'.
× I have never forgotten something that is very important. Up which is very thankful, but I rather forget something that is small.
✓ I have never forgotten something that is very important, which I am very thankful for, but I would rather forget something small.
The phrase 'Up which is very thankful' is incorrect and unclear. It should be 'which I am very thankful for' to correctly express gratitude. Also, 'but I rather forget' is missing the modal verb 'would' to express preference. The correction clarifies meaning and corrects preposition and modal verb usage.
× Which you get can get you frustrating.
✓ Which can be frustrating.
The original sentence uses 'you get can get you frustrating,' which is grammatically incorrect and confusing. The corrected sentence simplifies the phrase to 'which can be frustrating,' removing unnecessary and incorrect pronouns and verbs.
× In my daily life, I often have to remember. Mainly about my work, what to do, list what to do and also after work.
✓ In my daily life, I often have to remember many things, mainly about my work, such as what to do and my to-do list, and also tasks after work.
The original sentences are fragmented and lack clarity. 'I often have to remember.' is a sentence fragment. The correction combines the ideas into a complete sentence and clarifies the list of things to remember.
× An really lots of chores to do as well.
✓ There are really lots of chores to do as well.
The phrase 'An really lots of chores' is incorrect. 'An' is an article used before singular nouns starting with a vowel sound, but 'lots' is plural and quantifier. The correction adds 'There are' to form a proper sentence and removes the incorrect article.
× What I need to remember important things I like to write.
✓ When I need to remember important things, I like to write them down.
The original sentence is awkward and lacks clarity. Adding 'When' and 'them down' makes the sentence grammatically correct and clearer.
× Everything down on a sticky notes.
✓ Everything down on sticky notes.
'A sticky notes' mixes singular article 'a' with plural noun 'notes'. Removing 'a' corrects the prepositional phrase.
× On sticky notes or in my cell phone notepad.
✓ On sticky notes or in my cell phone notepad.
This sentence fragment is acceptable as a phrase, but to be complete, it should be connected to the previous sentence. No preposition error here; no correction needed.
× With the notification on time.
✓ With the notification set on time.
The phrase 'with the notification on time' is unclear. Adding 'set' clarifies that the notification is scheduled to alert at the correct time.
× Because it helps me to think, remember.
✓ Because it helps me to think and remember.
The original sentence ends with a comma and lacks conjunction between 'think' and 'remember'. Adding 'and' completes the sentence properly.
