× Which I am knowing since I was in junior standard.
✓ Whom I have known since I was in junior standard.
The verb 'know' is a stative verb and is not used in the continuous form. The correct present perfect tense 'have known' should be used to indicate an action that started in the past and continues to the present.
× We used to spend a lot of time together when I when we got free.
✓ We used to spend a lot of time together when we got free.
The sentence contains a redundant phrase 'when I' which disrupts the sentence structure. Removing the extra 'when I' corrects the sentence.
× Also we used to study in the same. Class, then we were.
✓ Also, we used to study in the same class then.
The sentence is fragmented and incorrectly punctuated. Combining the fragments into a complete sentence with proper punctuation improves clarity.
× Sometimes a day out we visits gardens, malls, have a dinner or a lunch party.
✓ Sometimes, on a day out, we visit gardens, malls, have dinner or a lunch party.
The preposition 'on' is needed before 'a day out' to indicate time. Also, 'visits' should be 'visit' to agree with the plural subject 'we'. 'Have a dinner' is incorrect; 'have dinner' is the correct expression.
× Sometimes a day out we visits gardens, malls, have a dinner or a lunch party.
✓ Sometimes, on a day out, we visit gardens, malls, have dinner or a lunch party.
The verb 'visits' does not agree with the plural subject 'we'. The correct form is 'visit'.
× Everything we do cycling to when in vacation.
✓ We do everything, including cycling, when on vacation.
The original sentence is fragmented and unclear. Reordering and adding necessary words clarifies the meaning.
× We used to go in the same school as well as the same tuition classes, so we were meeting each other daily at the school as well institutions and when there is a vacation or a day off, we used to go on each other's home and play games together and we also went for cycling in the garden.
✓ We used to go to the same school as well as the same tuition classes, so we met each other daily at school and institutions. When there was a vacation or a day off, we used to go to each other's homes and play games together, and we also went cycling in the garden.
The preposition 'in' should be 'to' when referring to attending school. 'Go on each other's home' is incorrect; it should be 'go to each other's homes'. Also, verb tenses are adjusted for consistency and clarity.
× But yes, we used to meet. Uhm, each other every day in the school as well. Institution classes.
✓ But yes, we used to meet each other every day at school as well as in institution classes.
The preposition 'in' is incorrect before 'the school'; 'at school' is the correct phrase. Also, 'institution classes' should be preceded by 'in' for correct prepositional use.
× Go out is usually reserved for vacations.
✓ Going out is usually reserved for vacations.
The phrase 'Go out' is a verb phrase and needs to be in gerund form 'Going out' to function as the subject of the sentence.
× For me, friends are very important and the precious people in my life.
✓ For me, friends are very important and precious people in my life.
The article 'the' before 'precious people' is unnecessary when speaking generally about friends. Removing 'the' makes the sentence grammatically correct.
× I used to share everything with my friends when I was young and was in the school, but recently when I started visiting college my friends changes NGS but they are too good also so yes.
✓ I used to share everything with my friends when I was young and in school, but recently when I started attending college, my friends changed, but they are also very good, so yes.
The verb 'changes' should be in past tense 'changed' to match the past context. 'Visiting college' is incorrect; 'attending college' is the correct phrase. Also, sentence structure is improved for clarity.
× Well, from the beginning I don't have much friends.
✓ Well, from the beginning I didn't have many friends.
'Much' is used with uncountable nouns; 'many' is used with countable nouns like 'friends'. Also, past tense 'didn't have' is appropriate here.
× And I have one friend which is very close to my heart, which I used to spend a lot of time with.
✓ And I have one friend who is very close to my heart, with whom I used to spend a lot of time.
'Which' is used for things; 'who' is used for people. Also, 'with whom' is the correct relative pronoun phrase when the preposition 'with' is involved.
× Previously, I too oftenly invite my friends to visit my home for study purpose as well As for playing games during vacations.
✓ Previously, I used to often invite my friends to visit my home for study purposes as well as for playing games during vacations.
'Too oftenly' is incorrect; the correct adverb is 'often'. 'Invite' should be in past tense 'used to invite' to match 'previously'. 'Study purpose' should be plural 'study purposes'. 'As well As' should be 'as well as'.
× I used to call them on tee time and we together have a tea time, snacks, cakes, cookies, etc and we enjoy.
✓ I used to call them for tea time and we would have tea, snacks, cakes, cookies, etc., and enjoy together.
The preposition 'on' is incorrect before 'tea time'; 'for' is appropriate. 'Have a tea time' is unnatural; 'have tea' is correct. Also, sentence structure is improved for clarity.
