× she had a lot of plans to care for
✓ she had a lot of plants to care for
The word 'plans' is incorrect here; the intended meaning is 'plants' (living organisms), not 'plans' (intentions). This is a singular/plural and word choice issue. Use 'plants' to correctly refer to multiple living plants.
× she had lemon tree and some other
✓ she had a lemon tree and some others
The phrase 'lemon tree' is singular and needs an article 'a'. Also, 'some other' is incomplete; it should be 'some others' to indicate additional plants. This corrects singular/plural and article usage.
× my brother and I. Planted a mango tree in the backyard of my grandfathers house
✓ my brother and I planted a mango tree in the backyard of my grandfather's house
The sentence is fragmented due to an unnecessary period after 'I'. Also, 'grandfathers' needs an apostrophe to show possession: 'grandfather's'. Correct sentence structure and punctuation are necessary for clarity.
× The plant now has grown up very large
✓ The plant has now grown very large
The phrase 'has grown up' is awkward here; 'grown' alone suffices. Also, 'now' is better placed after 'has' for natural English word order. This improves verb usage and sentence flow.
× this tree has a very special heart in our heart, as very special place in our heart as it keeps the memory of the gold
✓ this tree has a very special place in our hearts as it keeps the memory of the old days
The original sentence is confusing and repetitive. 'Heart in our heart' is incorrect; the intended meaning is 'a special place in our hearts'. Also, 'the gold' is likely a mishearing of 'the old'. Correct sentence structure and word choice improve clarity.
× we have studied landscape at our at at college
✓ we have studied landscape at our college
The phrase contains repeated words 'at our at at'. Removing the extra 'at' corrects the preposition usage and makes the sentence clear.
× by then or the doctor asked us to do do a book of 100 plant we
✓ by then, our doctor asked us to make a book of 100 plants
The sentence has multiple errors: 'or the doctor' should be 'our doctor'; 'do do' is a repetition; 'a book of 100 plant' should be 'a book of 100 plants'. Correcting these improves sentence structure and grammar.
× We discovered its data and we established a book from scratch about it's very specific details an
✓ We discovered its data and established a book from scratch about its very specific details
'it's' is a contraction for 'it is' but here the possessive pronoun 'its' is needed. Also, the sentence ends abruptly with 'an' which should be removed. Correct pronoun usage and sentence completion are necessary.
× I don't know why particularly Chinese people use is kind of gets out
✓ I don't know why particularly Chinese people use this kind of gift
The phrase 'use is kind of gets out' is incorrect. It should be 'use this kind of gift'. Correct pronoun and word choice improve clarity.
× maybe flowers or cactus or rust ponds
✓ maybe flowers or cacti or rose plants
'Cactus' plural is 'cacti'. 'Rust ponds' is likely a mishearing of 'rose plants'. Correct plural forms and word choice are necessary for accuracy.
