× It actually depends.
✓ It actually depends.
No article error; sentence is correct. (Included to show no change.)
× When I submit an output or a project, I prefer my output to be submitted in a printed hard copy which is typed in Microsoft Word.
✓ When I submit an output or a project, I prefer it to be submitted as a printed hard copy typed in Microsoft Word.
Article and wording: 'my output to be submitted in a printed hard copy which is typed' is wordy and slightly incorrect. Use 'it' to avoid repetition and 'as a printed hard copy' is natural. Remove 'which is' and place 'typed in Microsoft Word' after 'hard copy'.
× But when it comes to giving out letters or receiving letters, I prefer it to be handwritten.
✓ But when it comes to giving or receiving letters, I prefer them to be handwritten.
Pronoun and agreement: 'it' is singular but refers to 'letters' (plural). Use 'them' to match plural noun and simplify 'giving out' to 'giving'.
× Yes, I do type on my keyboard laptop everyday.
✓ Yes, I do type on my laptop keyboard every day.
Word order and adverb: 'keyboard laptop' is reversed; the correct order is 'laptop keyboard'. 'Everyday' (adjective) should be 'every day' (adverbial phrase) for frequency.
× I am a freelancer and I work as a virtual assistant for a US based life coach.
✓ I am a freelancer and work as a virtual assistant for a US-based life coach.
Hyphenation and redundancy: 'US based' should be hyphenated 'US-based'. 'I am a freelancer and work' avoids repeating 'I'.
× I usually use my laptop keyboard to handle the task that she assigned me for her.
✓ I usually use my laptop keyboard to handle the tasks that she assigned to me.
Article and pronoun use: 'the task' may be plural 'tasks' depending on context; 'assigned me for her' is incorrect — use 'assigned to me'. Remove redundant 'for her'.
× I learned how to type on a keyboard.
✓ I learned how to type on a keyboard.
Correct past tense; sentence is fine in context. (Included to indicate no change.)
× Back when I was elementary, my cousin used to have a computer set up on their home.
✓ Back when I was in elementary school, my cousin used to have a computer set up at their home.
Preposition and noun form: 'in elementary' should be 'in elementary school'. 'On their home' is incorrect; use 'at their home'.
× She would usually ask me to join her to play some computer games.
✓ She would usually ask me to join her to play computer games.
Redundancy: 'to join her to play' is wordy; 'join her to play' is acceptable but better 'join her to play' or simply 'join her in playing'. Removing 'some' is optional; it's not incorrect but often unnecessary.
× That's where I learned how to type on a keyboard.
✓ That's where I learned to type on a keyboard.
Verb form: 'learned how to type' is acceptable, but 'learned to type' is more concise. Both are grammatically correct; change is stylistic.
× I improved my typing by visiting websites that helps you enhance your typing skills on a computer or keyboard.
✓ I improved my typing by visiting websites that help you enhance your typing skills on a computer or keyboard.
Subject-verb agreement: 'websites' (plural) requires 'help' not 'helps'.
× I also use the word and I concentric company.
✓ I also use Microsoft Word and work for a company called Concentric.
Unclear nouns and article use: 'the word and I concentric company' is unclear and ungrammatical. Likely intended 'Microsoft Word' and 'a company called Concentric'. Provide corrected, natural wording.
× I am in a voice agent.
✓ I work as a voice agent.
Verb and preposition: 'I am in a voice agent' is ungrammatical. Use 'work as a voice agent' to indicate occupation.
× I received messages and inquiries from customers and I replied them through message.
✓ I receive messages and inquiries from customers and reply to them by message.
Tense and verb usage: maintain present tense to match earlier 'I am' and current job ('I receive' not 'I received'). Also add 'to' after 'reply' ('reply to them') and 'by message' or 'via messages' is more natural.
