× For example, archaeologists can put their search ancient things to show on the museum's events and also artists can show their things.
✓ For example, archaeologists can display the ancient things they have found at museum events, and artists can display their work.
The phrase put their search ancient things to show is not grammatically structured. Use a clear verb such as display, and place the object directly after it. The revised sentence also uses parallel phrasing for the two groups.
× For example, archaeologists can put their search ancient things to show on the museum's events and also artists can show their things.
✓ For example, archaeologists can display the ancient things they have found at museum events, and artists can display their work.
On is not the appropriate preposition for events in this context. Use at museum events to indicate where the items are displayed.
× For example, we have a few large competitory art museums that regularly host international exhibitions, and they attract my visitor nanny visitors because of their impressive collections.
✓ For example, we have a few large competitive art museums that regularly host international exhibitions, and they attract many visitors because of their impressive collections.
Competitory is not the standard adjective; competitive is the correct form. Many visitors is the natural grammatical phrase here, rather than my visitor nanny visitors.
× For example, we have a few large competitory art museums that regularly host international exhibitions, and they attract my visitor nanny visitors because of their impressive collections.
✓ For example, we have a few large competitive art museums that regularly host international exhibitions, and they attract many visitors because of their impressive collections.
Use many before the plural count noun visitors to express a large number. The original wording does not form a grammatical quantifier phrase.
× Yes, I used to visit a museum often when I was. A design student because museums has a lot of impressive collections and special shows.
✓ Yes, I used to visit museums often when I was a design student because museums have a lot of impressive collections and special shows.
The period after was incorrectly breaks the sentence and leaves A design student as a fragment. Keep a design student with was to form the clause when I was a design student.
× Yes, I used to visit a museum often when I was. A design student because museums has a lot of impressive collections and special shows.
✓ Yes, I used to visit museums often when I was a design student because museums have a lot of impressive collections and special shows.
Museums is plural, so it must take the plural verb have, not has. Match the verb form to the subject.
× I went to Implies in Hong Kong to see an exhibition displaying a Korean artist's collection, and I particularly enjoy the contemporary paintings because of their blood colors and usual composition.
✓ I went to Implies in Hong Kong to see an exhibition displaying a Korean artist's collection, and I particularly enjoyed the contemporary paintings because of their blood colors and usual composition.
The answer describes a visit that happened three months ago, so the past-tense verb enjoyed is needed to match went and the past-time context.
