× Yes there are tall buildings near my home because I live in Chennai which is the capital of Tamil Nadu so they usually have skyscaper buildings and the tallest building in Chennai is known as the LIC building which is a life insurance company bank building.
✓ Yes, there are tall buildings near my home because I live in Chennai, which is the capital of Tamil Nadu, so the city usually has skyscraper buildings; the tallest building in Chennai is the LIC building, which belongs to a life insurance company.
The sentence contains incorrect use of 'they' to refer to 'Chennai' and awkward noun phrase 'a life insurance company bank building.' Use 'there are' correctly and refer to the city with 'the city' or 'Chennai' instead of 'they'. Also clarify ownership: 'LIC building, which belongs to a life insurance company.' Add commas to separate clauses for clarity.
× So it does have a large tall buildings in our city.
✓ So it does have large tall buildings in our city.
'Buildings' is plural, so the indefinite article 'a' before 'large' is incorrect. Remove 'a' when using plural nouns. Also 'large' and 'tall' both modify 'buildings' — keep both adjectives but no article.
× Oh yes, I do take a lot of photos of buildings because photography is one of my hobby which I really like to do.
✓ Oh yes, I do take a lot of photos of buildings because photography is one of my hobbies, which I really like to do.
'One of my hobby' should be 'one of my hobbies' because 'one of' requires a plural noun. Add a comma before the nonrestrictive clause 'which I really like to do.'
× And the tall buildings, the shadows of the buildings will be falling on the ground during sunset and sunrise, and to see the shadows of the building, it will be so good.
✓ With tall buildings, the shadows fall on the ground during sunset and sunrise, and seeing those shadows looks very beautiful.
Avoid future progressive 'will be falling' when describing regular occurrences; use present simple 'fall.' 'It will be so good' is vague — use a clearer adjective like 'beautiful.' Also replace 'the shadows of the building' with 'those shadows' to avoid repetition.
× I love taking pictures of various buildings from different angles.
✓ I love taking pictures of various buildings from different angles.
Sentence is grammatically correct; no change needed. Plural noun 'buildings' matches 'various.' Included here to indicate no issue.
× It is the lighthouse building in Chennai which is located near to the seashore and once you get to the top of the lighthouse, you can able to see the whole city in a single view.
✓ It is the lighthouse in Chennai, which is located near the seashore, and once you get to the top of the lighthouse, you can see the whole city in a single view.
Use 'near the seashore' (no 'to' after 'near'). Also remove 'able' after 'can' — 'can able to' is incorrect; use 'can see.' Simplify 'lighthouse building' to 'lighthouse.'
× It'll be so good when you're standing in a lighthouse, you can see you can witness the beach on the left and then the city is on the right.
✓ It is great: when you're standing in the lighthouse, you can witness the beach on the left and the city on the right.
Avoid repeating 'you can' twice. 'It'll be so good' is colloquial and shifts tense; use 'It is great' or 'It will be great' depending on context. Also add 'the' before 'lighthouse' for a specific landmark.
× It'll be so pleasure give.
✓ It would be such a pleasure.
Original phrase is ungrammatical. Use the noun phrase 'such a pleasure' with an appropriate auxiliary: 'It would be such a pleasure' or 'It would be very pleasant.'
× Who will not want to live in a tall building?
✓ Who wouldn't want to live in a tall building?
Use the contracted negative 'wouldn't' for a natural rhetorical question in this context. Both forms are grammatically possible, but 'Who wouldn't want...' is idiomatic.
× I would always love to live in a tall building because when you get to the top of the building, you can see the whole world below you.
✓ I would love to live in a tall building because when you get to the top, you can see the whole world below you.
Remove 'always' which is unnecessary and slightly changes meaning. Also omit the repeated 'the building' after 'top' for conciseness.
× So it feels really great to live in a tall building so that you can witness a beautiful sunrise, sunset, and it also makes you feel like you are living inside the clouds during foggy season.
✓ It feels great to live in a tall building because you can witness beautiful sunrises and sunsets, and it also makes you feel like you are living in the clouds during the foggy season.
Replace second 'so' with 'because' to explain reason. Use plural 'sunrises and sunsets' for generality. Add 'the' before 'foggy season' and use 'in the clouds' instead of 'inside the clouds.'
