× For example, I often see them with friends during picnics, which helps us share our passion for music.
✓ For example, I often sing with friends during picnics, which helps us share our passion for music.
The pronoun 'them' is incorrectly used here because it does not clearly refer to any noun previously mentioned. The intended meaning is likely that the speaker sings with friends, so replacing 'see them' with 'sing' clarifies the sentence and corrects the pronoun misuse.
× Yes I have. I have took some courses and classes.
✓ Yes, I have. I have taken some courses and classes.
The verb 'took' is the simple past tense, but after 'have' (present perfect), the past participle form 'taken' should be used. Using 'have took' is grammatically incorrect; the correct form is 'have taken'.
× To improve my skills.
✓ I took these courses to improve my skills.
'To improve my skills.' is a sentence fragment lacking a subject and verb. It should be connected to the previous sentence or rewritten as a complete sentence to convey the intended meaning clearly.
× Uhm, I remember the the first time I ever started that when I was a kid and it was a, it was our school curriculum.
✓ Uhm, I remember the first time I ever started that when I was a kid; it was part of our school curriculum.
The sentence is awkward and contains repetition ('the the') and unclear phrasing. Removing the repeated word and restructuring the sentence improves clarity and flow.
× Well, that's a great caution.
✓ Well, that's a great question.
The word 'caution' is incorrectly used here; the intended word is likely 'question'. This is a vocabulary error affecting meaning rather than grammar, but it is important for clarity.
× I think if I would get a chance, I would like to sing for my husband.
✓ I think if I got a chance, I would like to sing for my husband.
In conditional sentences expressing hypothetical situations, the correct form is 'if I got' (simple past) rather than 'if I would get'. Using 'would' in the 'if' clause is incorrect.
× Like, oh, very romantic.
✓ Like, oh, a very romantic song.
The phrase is incomplete and lacks a noun to complete the thought. Adding 'a very romantic song' completes the sentence and clarifies the meaning.
× Song tricks press my emotions and my feelings and for all the love that I have for my husband.
✓ Songs express my emotions and feelings and all the love that I have for my husband.
The phrase 'Song tricks press' is incorrect and unclear. Likely intended is 'Songs express'. Also, 'my emotions and my feelings' is redundant; 'emotions and feelings' suffice. The preposition 'for' before 'all the love' is unnecessary here.
× Singing can bring a joy to people.
✓ Singing can bring joy to people.
The article 'a' is incorrectly used before the uncountable noun 'joy'. 'Joy' is an uncountable noun and should not be preceded by 'a'.
