× Yes, I really love chatting with my friends because it can help me keep connect with my friends and born together friends.
✓ Yes, I really love chatting with my friends because it helps me keep connected with them and make friends.
Original has incorrect verb forms: 'keep connect' should be 'keep connected' (adjective or past participle after keep), and 'born together friends' is ungrammatical; likely intended 'make friends' or 'become friends'. Also 'can help me' is acceptable but 'helps me' is more natural. Suggest using correct -ed participle and a clear verb phrase to express making friends.
× So I always spend my time for chatting and help my friends.
✓ So I always spend my time chatting and helping my friends.
Incorrect preposition 'for' after 'spend my time'. The correct pattern is 'spend time doing something'. Also parallel structure requires gerunds 'chatting' and 'helping'. Suggest using 'spend my time chatting and helping my friends.'
× I usually chat with my friends about our homework and in the weekends we always chat together to keep connect together and umm share the ideas on new some news.
✓ I usually chat with my friends about our homework, and on weekends we always chat to stay connected and share ideas about recent news.
'In the weekends' is incorrect; use 'on weekends' or 'at the weekend'. 'Keep connect together' should be 'stay connected' or 'keep in touch'. 'Share the ideas on new some news' is word order and article errors; use 'share ideas about recent news' or 'some news'. Also remove redundant 'together' and filler 'umm'.
× Do you prefer chatting with only one friend because I'm not a outgoing person, so I feel more safety and comfortable when I chat with one friend rather than with.
✓ I prefer chatting with only one friend because I'm not an outgoing person, so I feel safer and more comfortable when I chat with one friend rather than with a group.
Incorrect article and adjective/adverb use: 'a outgoing' -> 'an outgoing' (original omitted but here 'not a outgoing' is wrong); 'more safety' is incorrect; use adjective 'safer'. Also sentence ended abruptly 'rather than with.' Need an object, e.g., 'rather than with a group'. Maintain parallel adjectives 'safer and more comfortable.'
× I think it depends on the situations.
✓ I think it depends on the situation.
Plural 'situations' is acceptable but the common collocation is 'depends on the situation' or 'depends on the circumstances'. Using singular is more natural here.
× I always chat with my friends or connect with my friends where uh through social media because it's so convenient.
✓ I usually chat or connect with my friends through social media because it's very convenient.
Redundant 'with my friends' repeated; 'where uh through' is ungrammatical filler. Use 'through social media' as the correct prepositional phrase. 'Always' can be changed to 'usually' if not literal always.
× But I see that con conversation face to face can help us connect with together.
✓ But I find that face-to-face conversation can help us connect better.
Original contains mis-typed 'con conversation' and incorrect preposition 'connect with together'. Use 'face-to-face conversation' and 'connect better' or 'connect with each other'. Also 'I see that' -> 'I find that' is more natural.
× Well, I sometimes or grew with my friends, but only about small things like money, because we all have different ideas.
✓ Well, I sometimes argue with my friends, but only about small things like money, because we all have different ideas.
'Grew' is incorrect; likely intended 'argue' (present) or 'have arguments'. Use present tense 'argue' to match habitual action. 'Sometimes or grew' is garbled. Replace with clear verb 'argue'.
× We disagree about where to go for dinner or solve it by talking and choosing a place together.
✓ We disagree about where to go for dinner, but we solve it by talking and choosing a place together.
Original uses 'or' where contrast 'but' is intended. The conjunction should show contrast and result: 'we disagree... but we solve it by...'. This fixes sentence structure and clarity.
