× Uh, no I don't because I'm not good at singing songs and some of my friends, umm, invite me to go to karaoke that I always refuse them.
✓ Uh, no I don't because I'm not good at singing songs and some of my friends, umm, invite me to go to karaoke but I always refuse them.
The original sentence incorrectly uses 'that' to connect two clauses, which is not appropriate here. The correct conjunction is 'but' to show contrast between being invited and refusing. This is an issue of incorrect conjunction use, but since it relates to verb phrase connection, it fits best under verb + -ing form category for correction purposes.
× No, I never.
✓ No, I never have.
The sentence 'No, I never.' is incomplete and lacks the auxiliary verb 'have' to form the present perfect tense, which is appropriate here to indicate experience. The correct form is 'No, I never have.' This is a past tense issue because the verb tense is incomplete.
× Ah, but yeah I watched a video that shows how to sing better on YouTube before.
✓ Ah, but yeah I watched a video on YouTube that shows how to sing better before.
The preposition 'on' should be used with 'YouTube' to indicate the platform where the video was watched. The original sentence misplaced 'on YouTube' after 'how to sing better', which is less clear. Correct preposition placement improves clarity.
× I don't think for anyone.
✓ I don't think about anyone.
The verb 'think' is usually followed by the preposition 'about' when referring to considering someone. The original sentence incorrectly uses 'for' which is not appropriate here. This is an incorrect use of prepositions and pronouns combined, but mainly preposition error.
× I think so because, uh, we can release stressed stress thanks to singing and. Everyone will be happy when someone.
✓ I think so because, uh, we can release stress thanks to singing. Everyone will be happy when someone sings.
The original sentence has a redundant phrase 'stressed stress' and an incomplete sentence fragment 'and.' Also, the last sentence is incomplete and lacks a verb. Correcting these improves sentence structure and clarity.
