× No, I rarely go to the library as I prefer prefer to read ebooks online at the convenience of my home and also there is not a library conveniently located near my house.
✓ No, I rarely go to the library as I prefer to read ebooks online at the convenience of my home and also there is no library conveniently located near my house.
The word 'prefer' was repeated twice, which is a redundancy error. Also, 'there is not a library' is incorrect; the correct form is 'there is no library' to express the absence of something. The correction removes the repeated word and replaces 'not' with 'no' for proper negation.
× No, I rarely go to the library as I prefer prefer to read ebooks online at the convenience of my home and also there is not a library conveniently located near my house.
✓ No, I rarely go to the library as I prefer to read ebooks online at the convenience of my home and also there is no library conveniently located near my house.
The phrase 'there is not a library' is incorrect in this context. The correct form to indicate the absence of something is 'there is no library.' This is a common issue with 'there be' constructions where 'no' is used instead of 'not' to negate the existence of something.
× Whenever I visit library, I try to find fantasy books because that's what I've gotten into recently.
✓ Whenever I visit the library, I try to find fantasy books because that's what I've gotten into recently.
The noun 'library' is a specific place here, so it requires the definite article 'the.' Omitting 'the' before singular countable nouns when referring to a specific entity is a common article error.
× No, I didn't went to library as a kid as far as I can remember because in my city there's not a Public Library that public can easily access to.
✓ No, I didn't go to the library as a kid as far as I can remember because in my city there's no Public Library that the public can easily access.
After 'didn't,' the base form of the verb should be used, so 'went' should be 'go.' Also, 'library' needs the definite article 'the.' The phrase 'there's not a Public Library' should be 'there's no Public Library' for correct negation. Additionally, 'public can easily access to' is incorrect; 'access' is a transitive verb and does not require 'to.' Adding 'the' before 'public' clarifies the meaning.
× No, I didn't went to library as a kid as far as I can remember because in my city there's not a Public Library that public can easily access to.
✓ No, I didn't go to the library as a kid as far as I can remember because in my city there's no Public Library that the public can easily access.
The noun 'library' requires the definite article 'the' when referring to a specific place. Also, 'Public Library' as a proper noun should be capitalized, and 'the public' needs the definite article 'the' to specify the group of people.
× No, I didn't went to library as a kid as far as I can remember because in my city there's not a Public Library that public can easily access to.
✓ No, I didn't go to the library as a kid as far as I can remember because in my city there's no Public Library that the public can easily access.
The verb 'access' is transitive and does not require the preposition 'to' after it. Therefore, 'access to' is incorrect; it should be just 'access.' Removing 'to' corrects the prepositional error.
× My first library that I ever went to during was during my high school.
✓ The first library I ever went to was during my high school years.
The original sentence has awkward and incorrect word order and redundancy with 'during' used twice. The corrected sentence rearranges the structure for clarity and grammatical correctness, removing redundancy and adding 'years' after 'high school' for natural expression.
× My first library that I ever went to during was during my high school.
✓ The first library I ever went to was during my high school years.
The phrase 'My first library' should be 'The first library' because it refers to a specific library in the context. Also, 'high school' is better expressed as 'high school years' to indicate the time period.
× Yes, Chinese kids often go to the library as China has strong culture of studying and people here value peaceful environment a lot while doing the same thing.
✓ Yes, Chinese kids often go to the library as China has a strong culture of studying and people here value a peaceful environment a lot while doing the same thing.
The noun 'culture' requires the indefinite article 'a' when described as 'strong culture.' Similarly, 'peaceful environment' needs the indefinite article 'a' because it is a singular countable noun. Adding these articles corrects the adjective usage.
