× I have a participated advance in the competition as well
✓ I have participated in the competition as well
The phrase 'have a participated advance' is incorrect because 'participated' is a past participle and should not be preceded by 'a' or followed by 'advance' in this context. The correct form is 'have participated' to indicate past experience without the unnecessary words.
× as I was part of singing, grew up in my school
✓ as I was part of singing, grew up in my school
The phrase 'part of singing' is incomplete and unclear. It should be 'part of a singing group' or 'part of singing activities'. However, since the instruction is to only correct mistakes that meet the grammar problem types, and 'part of singing' is more a vocabulary or phrase issue, no correction is made here.
× we have a teacher over there who give us singing lessons
✓ we have a teacher over there who gives us singing lessons
The relative pronoun 'who' refers to 'teacher', which is singular, so the verb should be 'gives' to agree in number with the singular subject.
× I have taken some lessons from outside for for a personal tutor
✓ I have taken some lessons from outside with a personal tutor
The phrase 'lessons from outside for for a personal tutor' is incorrect. The preposition 'from' is used correctly to indicate source, but 'for for' is a repetition and 'for a personal tutor' is incorrect. The correct preposition to indicate accompaniment is 'with'.
× it gives me, I feel just relax and it relieves my stress while I was singing
✓ it gives me a feeling of relaxation and it relieves my stress while I am singing
The phrase 'I feel just relax' is incorrect; it should be 'I feel relaxed' or 'a feeling of relaxation'. Also, 'while I was singing' should be 'while I am singing' to match the present tense context.
× it leave the stress for the people
✓ it relieves the stress for the people
The verb 'leave' is incorrect here; the intended meaning is 'relieve'. Also, 'leave' is base form and does not fit the sentence. 'Relieves' is the correct third person singular present tense verb.
× when I was singing or like anyone else there singing
✓ when I am singing or like anyone else there singing
The tense should be present to match the general statement. Also, 'there singing' is awkward; it should be 'singing there' or 'singing as well' but since only grammar problem types are to be corrected, tense is corrected here.
× someone who's like singing, you go
✓ someone who's singing, you go
The phrase 'like singing' is incorrect here; 'like' is unnecessary and disrupts the meaning. The correct form is 'someone who's singing'.
