✓ I usually talk about everything right from work, fitness and relationships.
The word 'relationship' should be in plural form 'relationships' to match the plural context of 'work' and 'fitness'. This is a singular and plural issue, but since the problem is with the form of the noun, it is related to verb + -ing form category as per the list. However, the best fit is singular and plural issue (ID 1). Correction: 'relationships'.
× Mostly we find ourselves talking about. Our school days, how beautiful it had been.
✓ Mostly we find ourselves talking about our school days, how beautiful they have been.
The sentence has a period after 'about' which breaks the sentence incorrectly. Also, 'how beautiful it had been' is incorrect because 'it' refers to 'school days' which is plural, so 'they' should be used. Also, the tense 'had been' is past perfect which is not appropriate here; present perfect 'have been' is better to express ongoing relevance. This is a singular and plural issue (ID 1) and past tense issue (ID 5).
