Errors: incorrect use of indefinite article 'a' before an uncountable/general noun 'pizza' and incorrect article 'that' before 'tomato sauce'. Subject-verb agreement with 'there are' for plural 'types'. Use 'it has' for possession. Use plural 'mushrooms'. Suggestions: remove 'a' when speaking about pizza in general, use 'there are' for plural existence, use 'the' for specific items like 'the tomato sauce', use 'it has' to say ingredients, and pluralize countable nouns like 'mushrooms'. Avoid filler words. Grammar problem type ID:22
× ...because there is a lot of types of pizza...
✓ ...because there are a lot of types of pizza...
Use 'there are' with plural noun 'types'. 'There is' is singular; 'there are' matches plural subjects. Suggestion: identify plural nouns and use 'there are'. Grammar problem type ID:3
× I like that tomato sauce
✓ I like the tomato sauce
Use 'the' for a specific sauce or when referring to sauce in general in this context. 'That' points to something distant or specific in speech; 'the' is more natural here. Suggestion: use 'the' to refer to a specific kind or category. Grammar problem type ID:13
× it's uh, I think that it's umm, little bit healthy
✓ I think it's a little bit healthy
Missing article 'a' before 'little bit'. Use 'a little bit' to modify adjectives. Suggestion: include 'a' and remove redundant fillers. Grammar problem type ID:14
× because it's umm, have umm, tomato and mushroom and whatever.
✓ because it has tomatoes and mushrooms, etc.
Use correct present simple verb 'has' for third person singular 'it'. Pluralize ingredients 'tomatoes' and 'mushrooms'. Suggestion: use 'it has' and plural nouns for countable items. Grammar problem type ID:10},{
