× I definitely prefer typing, mainly because it is so much faster and more convenient, especially for a long documents.
✓ I definitely prefer typing, mainly because it is so much faster and more convenient, especially for long documents.
The plural noun 'documents' should not be preceded by the singular article 'a'. Remove 'a' to correctly match the plural noun. Suggestion: use 'a document' for singular or 'documents' without 'a' for plural usage.
× Plus it is a really easy to edit and share my work with others, which is important for my studies.
✓ Plus it is really easy to edit and share my work with others, which is important for my studies.
The phrase 'a really easy to edit' misuses the article 'a' before an adjective phrase modifying an implied noun. 'It' is a pronoun referring to typing, so say 'it is really easy to edit' without 'a'. Suggestion: remove the unnecessary article.
× Yes, I use my laptop keyboard every single day, mainly for my studies and work.
✓ Yes, I use my laptop keyboard every single day, mainly for my studies and work.
No grammatical correction needed; sentence is correct. (Included to show this utterance has no errors matching the list.)
× Most of my assignments and research are done on the my computer and I find typing much faster and easier to edit than writing by hand.
✓ Most of my assignments and research are done on my computer and I find typing much faster and easier to edit than writing by hand.
The phrase 'the my computer' incorrectly combines a definite article with a possessive pronoun. Remove 'the' and keep 'my computer'. Suggestion: use either 'the computer' or 'my computer', not both.
× Actually, I actually learned how to type properly in high school.
✓ Actually, I learned how to type properly in high school.
Sentence repeats 'actually' twice (stylistic rather than grammatical). Removing the duplicate avoids redundancy. Tense 'learned' is correct for a past event.
× I need to type easily and assignments so I had to get used to it.
✓ I needed to type quickly for assignments, so I had to get used to it.
Original mixes present 'need' with past context and has unclear phrasing 'type easily and assignments.' Use past tense 'needed' to match 'had to' and replace 'easily' with 'quickly' or 'efficiently' for clarity. Also include a preposition 'for' before 'assignments'.
× Plus chatting with my friends on social media encourage me to type faster.
✓ Plus chatting with my friends on social media encouraged me to type faster.
Subject 'chatting' (a gerund) is singular, so the verb should be third-person singular past 'encouraged' to match past context. Change 'encourage' to 'encouraged'.
× I remember practicing a lot of my families computer at home.
✓ I remember practicing a lot on my family's computer at home.
Missing preposition 'on' is required for 'practicing on a computer'. Also 'families' needs a possessive apostrophe: 'family's'. Suggestion: use 'on my family's computer'.
× I improve my typing making by practicing regularly, whether it is a for work, studies or just chatting online and try to type everyday, I will.
✓ I improve my typing by practicing regularly, whether it is for work, studies, or just chatting online, and I try to type every day.
Remove incorrect insertion 'making'; use 'by practicing' to show method. 'a for work' is incorrect—use 'for work'. 'Everyday' is an adjective; use the adverb 'every day'. Reorder to form coherent clauses and use 'I try' to match present habit.
× I have noticed that the more I type, the faster and more accurate I become without even thinking about it.
✓ I have noticed that the more I type, the faster and more accurate I become without even thinking about it.
This sentence is grammatically correct in present perfect and present simple for general truths; no correction needed.
