The sentence contains a sentence structure error due to the incorrect placement of 'I use' which disrupts the sentence flow. Removing 'I use' corrects the sentence structure and makes it grammatically correct.
× Then I pick the new one, which catches my eyes and find the spot near the window.
✓ Then I pick the new one, which catches my eye, and find a spot near the window.
The phrase 'catches my eyes' is incorrect because 'eye' should be singular in this idiomatic expression. Also, 'the spot' should be 'a spot' as it is not a specific spot previously mentioned. This corrects the singular/plural and article usage.
× Library was a perfect place for me to concentrate on my books.
✓ The library was a perfect place for me to concentrate on my books.
The noun 'Library' requires the definite article 'The' because it refers to a specific place known to both speaker and listener. Omitting 'The' is an article error.
