Grammar

Incorrect use of prepositions

× I am from India. In India my hometown is Udaipur, a small city but beautiful views, beautiful lakes and popular for culture.

I am from India. My hometown in India is Udaipur, a small city with beautiful views and lakes, and it is popular for its culture.

The original sentence misuses prepositions and lacks connectors. 'In India my hometown is Udaipur' is awkward; 'My hometown in India is Udaipur' is clearer. Use 'with' to link features ('a city with beautiful views and lakes'). Add 'it is' and 'for its culture' for correct noun phrase and preposition use.

Verb in the present participle form

× Uh, in Udaipur, I like many places, some bees, uh, some places are very connected to me because from my childhood, I'm going to there, like my ground, I'm going there every morning to walk. Uh, temples, temples are very connected to me.

In Udaipur, I like many places; some places are very important to me because since my childhood I have been going there, like the ground where I walk every morning. The temples are also very meaningful to me.

Errors: incorrect word 'bees' likely meant 'places' and awkward phrasing 'going to there'. Use present perfect continuous 'have been going' to express actions from the past until now. Replace 'my ground' with 'the ground' or 'the field' and rephrase for clarity. Use 'important' or 'meaningful' instead of 'connected' for natural English.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× I am leaving from. Since I born and uh, like 18 years because I am 18 years old. So we are, I'm living there for my childhood, my parents childhood also from here only.

I have lived there since I was born; I am 18 years old. I lived there throughout my childhood, and my parents grew up here too.

Multiple errors: 'I am leaving from' is incorrect; use present perfect 'I have lived' to indicate duration up to now. 'Since I born' needs 'since I was born'. 'I'm living there for my childhood' should be 'I lived there throughout my childhood'. 'From here only' is nonstandard; use 'here too' or 'here as well'.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× Yes, my hometown is very famous for travelling and in my hometown there young people come for explore. So yeah, in young generation my hometown is very popular.

Yes, my hometown is very famous for tourism, and young people come here to explore it. So, among the younger generation my hometown is very popular.

Use 'famous for tourism' instead of 'famous for travelling'. 'Come for explore' is ungrammatical; use 'come here to explore'. 'In young generation' should be 'among the younger generation' for correct preposition and noun phrase.
