× Yes, there were some rules for students at my school.
✓ Yes, there were some rules for students at my school.
This sentence is correct in past tense; no change needed. Keep past tense when referring to rules at a past school.
× for example, we had to wear our uniforms at school time and for boys they couldn't have long hair, and for girls it is appropriate to wear jewels.
✓ For example, we had to wear our uniforms during school hours; boys could not have long hair, and girls could wear jewelry.
Errors: 'school time' is unnatural; use 'during school hours' (preposition and collocation). 'They couldn't have long hair' uses 'they' redundantly and mixes modal forms. Use 'boys could not' for past ability/permission (third person singular agreement with modal 'could' is fine). 'it is appropriate to wear jewels' mixes present tense and awkward noun 'jewels'; keep past context and use 'girls could wear jewelry'. Suggestion: maintain past tense consistently and choose natural collocations.
× Yes, I think students would benefit more from more rules because most rules at school is reasonable.
✓ Yes, I think students would benefit more from more rules because most rules at school are reasonable.
Error: 'most rules... is' disagrees in number. 'Rules' is plural so use plural verb 'are'. Keep modal 'would' as hypothetical; maintain plural agreement.
× Most rules at school are reasonable and appropriate for students.
✓ Most rules at school are reasonable and appropriate for students.
This sentence is correct; no change needed. It uses proper subject-verb agreement and adjective usage.
× With with more rules, students are students are clear with how they should perform and can lead healthier life.
✓ With more rules, students are clear about how they should behave and can lead healthier lives.
Errors: repeated words 'With with' and 'students are students are' are redundancies. Incorrect preposition 'clear with' should be 'clear about'. 'How they should perform' is vague; 'how they should behave' fits school rules. 'lead healthier life' needs plural 'lives'. Suggest removing repetitions and using correct prepositions and noun forms.
× Yes, when I was in a primary school, I had a math teacher.
✓ Yes, when I was in primary school, I had a math teacher.
Minor article use: 'in a primary school' is acceptable, but 'in primary school' is the natural phrasing. Tense is correct.
× He was really dedicated.
✓ He was very dedicated.
'Really' is acceptable but 'very' is slightly more natural here; both are grammatically correct. No essential change required.
× He was really hard working and always supportive to, to, to his students.
✓ He was very hard-working and always supportive of his students.
Errors: 'hard working' should be hyphenated as 'hard-working' when used as an adjective. 'Supportive to' is incorrect preposition; use 'supportive of'. Remove repeated filler words 'to, to, to'.
× I'm encouraged by, I was encouraged by him and. Find my find find my interest in maths.
✓ I was encouraged by him and found my interest in math.
Errors: mixing present 'I'm encouraged' with past context; use past 'I was encouraged'. Sentence fragments and repetitions 'Find my find find' must be corrected to past 'found'. 'Maths' acceptable in British English; use consistent variety (here 'math' used earlier). Remove stray punctuation.
× I'm very grateful for him.
✓ I am very grateful to him.
Error: use 'grateful to someone' or 'grateful for something'. 'Grateful for him' is informal and less idiomatic. Use 'grateful to him' to express gratitude toward a person.
× I prefer to have a few rules in school because it is helpful to for students.
✓ I prefer to have a few rules at school because it is helpful for students.
Errors: 'in school' vs 'at school' both possible; 'at school' is more common here. Remove extra 'to' ('helpful to for' incorrect). Use 'helpful for students'.
× It is helpful for students to build a build their individuality and personality.
✓ It is helpful for students to build their individuality and personality.
Error: duplicated word 'a build'. Remove duplicate and keep infinitive structure 'to build'.
× Schools should have no bond.
✓ Schools should not impose too many restrictions.
'No bond' is unclear and unidiomatic. Interpret likely meaning and replace with clearer phrase. Ensure meaning fits question context.
× But. But but at primary school should have.
✓ However, primary schools should have some rules.
Errors: sentence fragments and repetitions. Provide full sentence with subject and verb. Use 'primary schools' plural and 'should have some rules' to convey intended meaning.
× But the primary school should have some more rules to.
✓ But primary schools should have some additional rules too.
Errors: extraneous 'the' and trailing 'to'. Use plural and 'too' spelled correctly. Maintain consistent tense.
× Yes, when I was in secondary school I had a chemical teacher.
✓ Yes, when I was in secondary school I had a chemistry teacher.
'Chemical teacher' is incorrect; use 'chemistry teacher' to refer to the subject teacher. Tense is correct.
× He was really strict to us.
✓ He was really strict with us.
Use 'strict with' or 'strict on' someone; 'strict to' is incorrect. Use appropriate preposition for idiomatic expression.
× Every time we met us even a tiny mistake he would outrageous and and punish us harshly.
✓ Every time we made even a tiny mistake, he would get outraged and punish us harshly.
Errors: 'we met us' nonsense; likely intended 'we made'. 'He would outrageous' is incorrect verb form; use 'get outraged' or 'be outraged'. Remove duplicated 'and'. Ensure comma before subordinate clause.
× It make it made us.
✓ It made us very anxious.
Original is fragmented and repeated. Provide complete thought: 'It made us very anxious' or 'nervous'. Use past tense 'made'.
× His behavior made us very nervous.
✓ His behavior made us very nervous.
This sentence is correct; no change needed.
× I wouldn't like to work as a teacher in a row free school because in a roof free school, students would be too free to do anything you take on.
✓ I would not like to work as a teacher in a rule-free school because, in a rule-free school, students would be too free to do anything they wanted.
Errors: 'row free' and 'roof free' are misspellings of 'rule-free'. Use consistent term 'rule-free'. 'You take on' is unclear; replace with 'they wanted' to express unchecked freedom. Use full form 'would not' for formality and clarity.
× You couldn't expect it.
✓ You could not expect discipline or order.
Original 'You couldn't expect it' is vague. Clarify what cannot be expected (discipline or order) to make sentence meaningful.
× And mostly they, they, uh, they don't respect to teachers.
✓ And mostly they do not respect teachers.
Remove repetitions and filler 'uh'. 'Respect to teachers' is wrong preposition; use 'respect teachers' or 'respect for teachers'.
× So it is. It is a demanding job, OK.
✓ So it is a demanding job.
Remove unnecessary fragment 'So it is.' and redundant 'OK'. Keep concise final statement.
