× I sing in front of my friends because they like to listen my singing.
✓ I sing in front of my friends because they like to listen to my singing.
The verb 'listen' requires the preposition 'to' when followed by an object. So, 'listen my singing' is incorrect; it should be 'listen to my singing'. This is a common preposition usage error.
× No, I don't ever learn how to sing, but I listen the music artist how they sing and I try to copy them and I practice how to sing and also I try but I ever not learn how to sing.
✓ No, I have never learned how to sing, but I listen to music artists to hear how they sing and I try to copy them. I practice how to sing and also try, but I have never learned how to sing.
The sentence has multiple tense errors. 'Don't ever learn' should be 'have never learned' to indicate past experience. 'Listen the music artist' needs 'listen to' and 'music artists' plural. Also, 'try but I ever not learn' is incorrect; it should be 'try, but I have never learned'. Using present perfect tense is appropriate here to talk about life experiences.
× No, I don't ever learn how to sing, but I listen the music artist how they sing and I try to copy them and I practice how to sing and also I try but I ever not learn how to sing.
✓ No, I have never learned how to sing, but I listen to music artists to hear how they sing and I try to copy them. I practice how to sing and also try, but I have never learned how to sing.
The phrase 'listen the music artist' is incorrect; the verb 'listen' requires the preposition 'to' before the object. Also, 'how they sing' is better expressed as 'to hear how they sing' for clarity.
× No, I don't ever learn how to sing, but I listen the music artist how they sing and I try to copy them and I practice how to sing and also I try but I ever not learn how to sing.
✓ No, I have never learned how to sing, but I listen to music artists to hear how they sing and I try to copy them. I practice how to sing and also try, but I have never learned how to sing.
The phrase 'music artist' should be plural 'music artists' because it refers to multiple singers. Using the plural form is necessary to match the context.
× I want to sing for my friend because when I am sitting in front of my friend I feel happy because they give me a good feedback and we have also karaoke that make me so easy to sing.
✓ I want to sing for my friends because when I am sitting in front of my friends I feel happy because they give me good feedback and we also have karaoke that makes it easy for me to sing.
The word 'friend' should be plural 'friends' to agree with the pronoun 'they'. Also, 'a good feedback' is incorrect because 'feedback' is uncountable and does not take 'a'. 'Karaoke' is singular, so the verb should be 'makes' not 'make'. These are singular/plural and article usage errors.
× I want to sing for my friend because when I am sitting in front of my friend I feel happy because they give me a good feedback and we have also karaoke that make me so easy to sing.
✓ I want to sing for my friends because when I am sitting in front of my friends I feel happy because they give me good feedback and we also have karaoke that makes it easy for me to sing.
The phrase 'a good feedback' is incorrect because 'feedback' is an uncountable noun and does not take the indefinite article 'a'. It should be 'good feedback' without 'a'.
× I want to sing for my friend because when I am sitting in front of my friend I feel happy because they give me a good feedback and we have also karaoke that make me so easy to sing.
✓ I want to sing for my friends because when I am sitting in front of my friends I feel happy because they give me good feedback and we also have karaoke that makes it easy for me to sing.
The verb 'make' should be 'makes' to agree with the singular subject 'karaoke'. This is a subject-verb agreement error.
× No, I don't ever learn how to sing, but I listen the music artist how they sing and I try to copy them and I practice how to sing and also I try but I ever not learn how to sing.
✓ No, I have never learned how to sing, but I listen to music artists to hear how they sing and I try to copy them. I practice how to sing and also try, but I have never learned how to sing.
The verb 'listen' requires the preposition 'to' before the object. Also, 'try but I ever not learn' is incorrect; it should be 'try, but I have never learned'. This correction addresses preposition use and tense consistency.
