× In Lalitpur, you can see various different monuments that are under, uh, UNESCO heritage.
✓ In Lalitpur, you can see various different monuments that are under UNESCO heritage.
The phrase 'under UNESCO heritage' is incorrect because 'UNESCO heritage' is a proper noun phrase and does not require the definite article 'the' or the preposition 'under'. The correct phrase is 'UNESCO World Heritage'. However, since the student used 'under UNESCO heritage', the correction is to remove 'under' to make it grammatically correct.
× You can also see various palaces that previous king used to live in.
✓ You can also see various palaces that the previous king used to live in.
The sentence is missing the definite article 'the' before 'previous king'. In English, singular countable nouns usually require an article. Therefore, 'previous king' should be 'the previous king'.
× In addition to that, the healthcare and education facilities in my hometown is far more developed than other places in Nepal.
✓ In addition to that, the healthcare and education facilities in my hometown are far more developed than other places in Nepal.
The subject 'healthcare and education facilities' is plural, so the verb should be 'are' instead of 'is' to agree in number.
× As I've mentioned before, I was born and raised in Lollipop, therefore, I've lived my whole life there.
✓ As I've mentioned before, I was born and raised in Lalitpur, therefore, I've lived my whole life there.
The student wrote 'Lollipop' instead of 'Lalitpur', which is a proper noun error rather than a grammar error. However, since it is a mistake in the name, it is corrected here. No grammar problem type applies, so this correction is to fix the proper noun.
× Also, with the establishment of cafes, restaurants, there are so much you could try and enjoy here.
✓ Also, with the establishment of cafes and restaurants, there is so much you can try and enjoy here.
The phrase 'so much' is used with uncountable nouns, but 'cafes and restaurants' are countable. Also, 'there are so much' is incorrect; it should be 'there is so much' if referring to 'so much' as an uncountable amount of things to try. Additionally, 'could' is changed to 'can' to express present ability. The sentence is corrected to use 'so much' correctly and improve clarity.
