× Yes, I absolutely love eating chocolates.
✓ Yes, I absolutely love eating chocolate.
The word 'chocolate' is generally used as an uncountable noun when referring to the substance or food in general. Using 'chocolates' implies individual pieces or types, but here the general term is more appropriate.
× My most favorite one would be the Dairy Milk Silk.
✓ My favorite one would be the Dairy Milk Silk.
'Most favorite' is redundant because 'favorite' already implies the highest degree. Using 'most' with 'favorite' is incorrect; simply use 'favorite'.
× Whether it's whether I'm upset, whether I'm I'm in a good mood, whether I'm going to give exam for any occasion.
✓ Whether I'm upset, in a good mood, or going to take an exam on any occasion,
The sentence is repetitive and awkward due to repeated 'whether' and 'I'm'. It should be streamlined for clarity and grammatical correctness.
× I eat chocolate during weekends.
✓ I eat chocolate on weekends.
'On weekends' is the correct prepositional phrase to indicate habitual action during weekends, not 'during weekends'.
× I would say Chandoli once in a while but not to be very peculiar.
✓ I would say occasionally, but not too often.
'Chandoli' seems incorrect or misplaced; 'once in a while' is correct but 'not to be very peculiar' is awkward. The sentence is corrected for clarity and proper quantifier use.
× It's always once in 70s.
✓ It's always once in a while.
'Once in 70s' is unclear and incorrect. The common expression is 'once in a while' to indicate infrequency.
× So I do not remember eating chocolates as a child, although she allowed me to eat, uh, chips.
✓ So I do not remember eating chocolate as a child, although she allowed me to eat, uh, chips.
Again, 'chocolate' as an uncountable noun is more appropriate here than 'chocolates'.
× Chocolate is very popular because it's a junk food and anything that comes with, you know, the health restrictions we love to been treated.
✓ Chocolate is very popular because it's junk food, and with health restrictions, we love to be treated.
The phrase 'we love to been treated' is incorrect; it should be 'we love to be treated'. Also, 'a junk food' should be 'junk food' without 'a'.
× Its taste is one of the things you know, the sweet taste that's usually favoured by everyone.
✓ Its taste is one of the things, you know, the sweet taste that's usually favored by everyone.
Minor punctuation correction for clarity; 'favoured' is British spelling, but acceptable. No major pronoun error here.
× It's something that all the people like and my mother, I've never seen a person who hates chocolates, only a few of them.
✓ It's something that all people like, and my mother, I've never seen a person who hates chocolate, only a few of them.
'All the people' is better as 'all people' for generalization. 'Chocolates' should be 'chocolate' as uncountable noun.
× I do not have any specific taste when it come to chocolates, I think they all taste pretty much the same.
✓ I do not have any specific taste when it comes to chocolate; I think they all taste pretty much the same.
'Come' should be 'comes' for third person singular (see next correction). 'Chocolates' should be 'chocolate' as uncountable noun.
× I do not have any specific taste when it come to chocolates, I think they all taste pretty much the same.
✓ I do not have any specific taste when it comes to chocolate; I think they all taste pretty much the same.
'It' is third person singular, so the verb should be 'comes' not 'come'.
× It should not be dark chocolate because it's bitter.
✓ It should not be dark chocolate because it's bitter.
This sentence is correct; no quantifier error.
× Other than that anything is there whether it's roasted almonds or any nuts or maybe it's with citrus fruits or anything.
✓ Other than that, anything is fine, whether it's roasted almonds, nuts, citrus fruits, or anything else.
The original sentence is awkward and has incorrect preposition use. 'Is there' is unnecessary; 'anything is fine' is clearer.
× Yes, whenever I am confused about what to give to my friends on special occasions, I often carry a chocolate and speaking fondly of the last visit I had with my mentor, I was very confused whether I should take a bouquet for her or maybe a present.
✓ Yes, whenever I am confused about what to give my friends on special occasions, I often carry chocolate. Speaking fondly of the last visit I had with my mentor, I was very confused about whether I should take a bouquet for her or maybe a present.
'Give to my friends' should be 'give my friends'. Also, the sentence is a run-on and needs to be split for clarity. 'Confused whether' should be 'confused about whether'.
× But because I do not know her much, I just carried a chocolate and safe to say she loved it.
✓ But because I do not know her well, I just carried chocolate, and it's safe to say she loved it.
'Know her much' is incorrect; 'know her well' is correct. Also, 'a chocolate' is better as 'chocolate' here. 'Safe to say' needs 'it's' to be a complete clause.
