× My favorite food is to ramen.
✓ My favorite food is ramen.
The verb + -ing form category includes incorrect use of verbs as nouns. Here 'to ramen' is incorrect because 'ramen' is a noun and should not be used with the infinitive marker 'to'. Use the noun alone: 'My favorite food is ramen.' This fits the copular 'be' structure where a noun follows 'is'.
× I often eat it when I want comfort and the taste bring me back to my comfort zone lah.
✓ I often eat it when I want comfort and the taste brings me back to my comfort zone.
The subject 'the taste' is singular, so the verb must be 'brings' (third person singular). Also remove colloquial filler 'lah' for standard grammar. Suggestion: ensure verbs agree with singular or plural subjects.
× For example if I feel so stressed during study so I eat eat after that to feel very comfort MMM.
✓ For example, if I feel very stressed while studying, I eat it afterwards to feel comforted.
This sentence has structural problems: missing commas, incorrect preposition 'during study', repeated word 'eat eat', and wrong adjective 'comfort' used instead of past participle 'comforted'. Use 'while studying' or 'during my studies', 'afterwards' for sequence, and 'comforted' to describe a feeling. Break into clearer clauses and add punctuation.
× When I were young, I would like something sweet like banana bread or cookie because it remind me to my mother.
✓ When I was young, I liked sweet things like banana bread or cookies because they reminded me of my mother.
Use past tense: 'were' -> 'was' for singular 'I'. 'Would like' is inappropriate for past habitual; use 'liked'. Count nouns need plural 'cookies' or 'a cookie'. Verb 'remind' should be past 'reminded'. Preposition is 'reminded me of my mother'. Ensure tense consistency.
× That used to be big for me during my childhood, so it feels very, very, very comfort.
✓ That used to be a big deal for me during my childhood, so it felt very, very, very comforting.
'Big' alone is vague; native speakers say 'a big deal'. Maintain past tense 'felt' to match 'used to be'. 'Comfort' is a noun; use adjective 'comforting' to describe the feeling. Avoid repetitive filler; one or two repetitions are enough for emphasis.
× Yes, I do eat different food at different time of the year.
✓ Yes, I do eat different foods at different times of the year.
Countable nouns need plural when referring to different kinds: 'different foods'. 'Time' should be plural 'times' to indicate multiple periods in the year. Keep subject-verb structure unchanged.
× For example in some in winter I prefer to eat soup because it make me feel warm, while during summer I like to drink lemonade to keep refreshed.
✓ For example, in winter I prefer to eat soup because it makes me feel warm, while during summer I like to drink lemonade to stay refreshed.
Remove redundant 'in some in'. Use comma after introductory phrase. 'Make' needs third person singular 'makes' to match 'it'. 'Keep refreshed' is awkward; use 'stay refreshed'.
× Yes, my favorite food has changed since childhood.
✓ Yes, my favorite food has changed since childhood.
This sentence is correct as written. The present perfect 'has changed' properly expresses change from the past to the present. No correction needed.
× When I was child I love to eat something sweet like candy or chocolate, but as I grew older I prefer umm, something spicy itself like ramen.
✓ When I was a child I loved to eat sweets like candy or chocolate, but as I grew older I preferred spicier things, such as ramen.
Add article 'a' before 'child'. Maintain past tense: 'love' -> 'loved' and 'prefer' -> 'preferred'. 'Something sweet' becomes plural 'sweets' or 'sweet things'. 'Itself' is unnecessary and incorrect here; use 'spicier things' or 'spicy food'. Provide an example with 'such as ramen'.
