× I do agree to an extent that museums are important because museums are still museums.
✓ I do agree to an extent that museums are important because they are still museums.
The original sentence uses 'because museums are still museums' which is repetitive and unclear. Replacing the second 'museums' with 'they' clarifies the sentence and avoids redundancy.
× Is the only way of connecting old fashioned people to the current generation, or the current generation to the old fashioned things?
✓ It is the only way of connecting old-fashioned people to the current generation, or the current generation to old-fashioned things.
The sentence is missing a subject; 'Is' should be 'It is'. Also, 'old fashioned' should be hyphenated as 'old-fashioned' when used as an adjective. The article 'the' before 'old fashioned things' is unnecessary and removed for clarity.
× So Ahmedabad does have a lot of museums, which still stores a lot of historical, uh, details about a lot of historical events, a lot of historical monument.
✓ So Ahmedabad does have a lot of museums, which still store a lot of historical details about many historical events and many historical monuments.
The relative pronoun 'which' refers to 'museums' (plural), so the verb should be 'store' not 'stores'. Also, 'a lot of historical monument' should be plural 'monuments' to agree with 'a lot of'. Replacing 'a lot of' with 'many' before countable nouns improves formality and clarity.
× I would prefer to open Wikipedia or open my Google search engine and look up for whatever I want and gain knowledge from there.
✓ I would prefer to open Wikipedia or my Google search engine and look up whatever I want and gain knowledge from there.
The verb 'look up' does not require the preposition 'for' after it. Removing 'for' makes the sentence grammatically correct.
× The last time I visited a museum when I was a kid, my parents took me to the Mahatma Gandhi Museum, which is in my hometown.
✓ The last time I visited a museum was when I was a kid; my parents took me to the Mahatma Gandhi Museum, which is in my hometown.
The original sentence is missing the verb 'was' after 'visited a museum' to complete the past time expression. Adding 'was' corrects the sentence structure.
× The museum, which is in my hometown, has a lot of uh. Lot of information about historical events during the Mahatma Gandhi era.
✓ The museum, which is in my hometown, has a lot of information about historical events during the Mahatma Gandhi era.
The phrase 'a lot of uh. Lot of information' is redundant and incorrectly punctuated. Combining into 'a lot of information' is correct and clear.
