× My mother usually brought me to the pot on weekends and I loved playing Arnold swings and feeding the ducks by the point.
✓ My mother usually brought me to the park on weekends and I loved playing on the swings and feeding the ducks at the pond.
Multiple preposition and word-choice errors: 'pot' should be 'park' (wrong word), 'playing Arnold swings' is incorrect — use 'playing on the swings' (use preposition on with play for playground equipment), and 'by the point' should be 'at the pond' (wrong preposition and likely wrong noun). Suggestion: use correct place nouns and pair verbs with the appropriate prepositions (e.g., 'bring someone to the park', 'play on the swings', 'feed ducks at the pond').
× Since I grew up I've been much busier.
✓ Since I grew up, I've been much busier.
This sentence needs a comma after the introductory clause 'Since I grew up' for correct punctuation and clarity; grammatically the tense is acceptable (present perfect 'I've been' after 'Since'). Suggestion: include the comma after the introductory time clause: 'Since I grew up, I've been much busier.'
× I usually work on weekdays and often have plans at the weekend, so I prefer going to the cinema or shopping at the mall with friends to relax.
✓ I usually work on weekdays and often have plans at the weekend, so I prefer going to the cinema or shopping at the mall with friends to relax.
No grammatical error that matches the provided list; sentence tense and structure are appropriate. No correction needed. (Included only for clarity.)
× they also add a lots of greenery which makes the city cleaner and more pleasant.
✓ they also add a lot of greenery, which makes the city cleaner and more pleasant.
'a lots of' is incorrect; use 'a lot of' or simply 'lot of' without 's'. Also add a comma before the nonrestrictive relative clause 'which makes...'. Suggestion: use 'a lot of greenery' and include the comma for clarity.
× Yes, I'd like to visit wildlife parks or animals signature in the future because Hong Kong doesn't really have large wildlife parks.
✓ Yes, I'd like to visit wildlife parks or animal sanctuaries in the future because Hong Kong doesn't really have large wildlife parks.
Several word-choice and structure errors: 'animals signature' is incorrect — the intended phrase is likely 'animal sanctuaries'. This is a noun phrase error rather than a listed specific grammar category, but it fits under sentence structure/word choice. Suggestion: replace with 'animal sanctuaries' and keep plural agreement with 'wildlife parks'.
× I want to see animals in more natural setting and learn about conservation, especially species I can't find here.
✓ I want to see animals in a more natural setting and learn about conservation, especially species I can't find here.
Missing article before 'more natural setting' — use 'a more natural setting'. The rest of the sentence is acceptable. Suggestion: include the indefinite article 'a' before singular countable noun phrases: 'a more natural setting'.
