× if I can once see any diagram, I can as it is paste that diagram without ever having a look on that one.
✓ if I can once see any diagram, I can paste that diagram as it is without ever having a look at it.
The phrase 'as it is paste' is incorrect because 'paste' should be in the base form following 'can'. Also, the preposition 'on' after 'look' is incorrect; it should be 'look at'. The corrected sentence uses 'can paste' and 'look at' to conform to standard English usage.
× I can as it is paste that diagram without ever having a look on that one.
✓ I can paste that diagram as it is without ever having a look at it.
The preposition 'on' after 'look' is incorrect. The correct preposition to use with 'look' in this context is 'at'. Also, 'that one' is better replaced with 'it' for clarity and conciseness.
× And I can easily remember the ways once I go some.
✓ And I can easily remember the ways once I go somewhere.
The word 'some' is incomplete and incorrect here. The correct word is 'somewhere' to indicate an unspecified place. This correction improves clarity and grammatical correctness.
× sometimes I used to forget my assignments due dates.
✓ sometimes I used to forget my assignments' due dates.
The phrase 'assignments due dates' requires a possessive form to indicate that the due dates belong to the assignments. Adding an apostrophe after 'assignments' corrects this. Also, 'used to' correctly indicates past habitual action.
× just one hour before it's due date my friend had called me that we have assignment.
✓ just one hour before its due date, my friend called me to say that we have an assignment.
The contraction 'it's' (it is) is incorrect here; the possessive pronoun 'its' should be used. Also, 'had called' is changed to 'called' to match the simple past tense narrative. The phrase 'had called me that we have assignment' is awkward; rephrased to 'called me to say that we have an assignment' for clarity and correctness.
× we have assignment.
✓ we have an assignment.
The noun 'assignment' is countable and singular here, so it requires the indefinite article 'an' before it.
× Most of the times I used to do same things on the daily basis
✓ Most of the time I used to do the same things on a daily basis
The phrase 'Most of the times' is incorrect; the correct phrase is 'Most of the time'. Also, 'same things' requires the definite article 'the'. The preposition 'on the daily basis' should be 'on a daily basis' or simply 'a daily basis'.
× Most of the times I used to do same things on the daily basis
✓ Most of the time I used to do the same things on a daily basis
The noun phrase 'same things' requires the definite article 'the' to specify particular things. Also, 'daily basis' requires the indefinite article 'a'.
× I can easily remember the ways once I go some.
✓ I can easily remember the ways once I go somewhere.
The word 'some' is incomplete and incorrect here. The correct word is 'somewhere' to indicate an unspecified place. This correction improves clarity and grammatical correctness.
× sometimes my mother reminds me that you have to call your father.
✓ sometimes my mother reminds me that I have to call my father.
The pronoun 'you' is incorrectly used when the speaker is referring to themselves. It should be 'I' to correctly reflect the subject of the sentence.
× I put the important things in my reminder
✓ I put the important things in my reminders
The noun 'reminder' is countable and usually plural when referring to multiple notifications or notes. Also, 'in my reminder' is acceptable but 'in my reminders' is more natural when referring to multiple items.
× my phone gives me a notification again and again to remind me important events
✓ my phone gives me notifications again and again to remind me of important events
The phrase 'remind me important events' is missing the preposition 'of'. Also, 'a notification' should be plural 'notifications' to indicate repeated alerts.
× the other thing I have that I talked.
✓ the other thing I have is that I talk about these things with my friends.
The sentence is incomplete and incorrectly structured. 'I talked' is past tense, but the context suggests habitual action, so 'I talk' is appropriate. Also, the sentence needs a linking verb 'is' to be grammatically correct.
× I talk about these things with my friends, they remind me again and again for this thing.
✓ I talk about these things with my friends; they remind me again and again about these things.
The preposition 'for' is incorrect after 'remind me'; the correct preposition is 'about'. Also, 'this thing' is vague; 'these things' matches the plural context.
