× I prefer sad music but it depends of the condition.
✓ I prefer sad music, but it depends on the situation.
Use 'depend on' not 'depend of'. Also 'the condition' is unnatural here; 'the situation' or 'how I feel' fits context. Add a comma before 'but' for clarity.
× When I feel happy I want to hear a happy song but when I'm sad I'm I prefer sad music.
✓ When I feel happy, I want to hear a happy song, but when I'm sad I prefer sad music.
Remove the extra 'I'm' which is redundant and ungrammatical. Add commas after introductory clause and before 'but' for clarity. Verb forms 'want' and 'prefer' correctly match present tense.
× It does because happy music have a excited rhythm.
✓ It does because happy music has an exciting rhythm.
Subject 'happy music' is singular or treated as a collective, so use 'has' not 'have'. 'A excited' is incorrect because 'excited' is an adjective describing a person; use 'exciting' to describe the rhythm, and use the correct article 'an' before a vowel sound.
× I think because the ton of music can helps much.
✓ I think the tone of the music can help a lot.
'Ton' is wrong here; use 'tone'. 'Can helps' is incorrect: modal 'can' must be followed by the base verb 'help'. 'Much' is unnatural in positive statements; use 'a lot' or 'greatly'. Also remove unnecessary 'because' at start or restructure the sentence as shown.
× Not at all. I just listening to music when I'm working, when I'm studying, when I'm. Feeling. Pretty quiet moment.
✓ Not at all. I just listen to music when I'm working, when I'm studying, or when I'm having a quiet moment.
Use base form 'listen' after 'just' for present habitual actions. 'I'm. Feeling.' is incorrect fragmentation; use 'when I'm having'. 'Pretty quiet moment' needs an article and smoother phrasing: 'a quiet moment.'
× Yeah, I listen to music when I'm working or studying. It helps me concentrate and makes my mood. So that's it.
✓ Yeah, I listen to music when I'm working or studying. It helps me concentrate and improves my mood, so that's it.
'Makes my mood' is ungrammatical; use 'improves my mood' or 'puts me in a better mood'. Combine clauses with a comma before 'so' and avoid sentence fragments.
