× I prefer happy music because it make me feel relaxed and happy after study at school.
✓ I prefer happy music because it makes me feel relaxed and happy after studying at school.
The verb 'make' should be conjugated 'makes' to agree with the third-person singular subject 'it' (subject-verb agreement). Also, 'after study at school' is ungrammatical; use the gerund 'studying' after the preposition 'after' to indicate the activity. Suggestion: Use 'makes' for third-person singular and 'after studying' to show the action.
× I think yes, because happy music made me feel relaxed and cheerful after studying at school.
✓ I think so, because happy music makes me feel relaxed and cheerful after studying at school.
The speaker expresses a general, habitual reaction to happy music, so present simple 'makes' is appropriate instead of past 'made'. Also 'I think yes' is unnatural; use 'I think so' to agree. Suggestion: Use present simple for habitual truths and replace 'I think yes' with 'I think so'.
× For example, sometime I had I feel bad.
✓ For example, sometimes I feel bad.
This sentence has multiple structure errors: 'sometime' should be plural 'sometimes' to indicate occasional occurrences; 'I had I feel' is ungrammatical and redundant. Use the simple present 'I feel' for habitual or repeated feelings. Suggestion: Use 'sometimes' and a single verb phrase 'I feel'.
× I often listen to music about happy music.
✓ I often listen to happy music.
The phrase 'listen to music about happy music' is redundant and ungrammatical. 'Listen to' already takes the music type as object. Use 'listen to happy music' to express the idea clearly. Suggestion: Remove redundancy and state the music type directly.
× Fall.
✓ (remove)
The single word 'Fall.' is a fragment and unrelated; it creates confusion. Either remove it or expand into a full sentence with context (e.g., 'It helps me when I feel down.'). Suggestion: Delete the fragment or provide a complete sentence explaining its meaning.
