× 'Usually I didn't use that much headphones.'
✓ 'I don't usually use headphones that much.'
'Didn\'t' is past tense and contradicts 'usually' which indicates a habitual present action. Also word order and plural use are incorrect. Use present simple negative 'do not usually' for habits and place 'that much' after the noun phrase or after 'use' as shown.'
× 'when I am travelling, I use headphone and I'm in a house, in my home, I didn't use headphone all the time.'
✓ 'When I am travelling I use headphones, but when I am at home I don\'t use them all the time.'
'In my home' is acceptable but more natural is 'at home'. 'Headphone' should be plural 'headphones' and pronoun 'them' should refer back to 'headphones'. Tense consistency: use present simple for habitual actions ('don\'t use').
× 'So I have iPhone when then I use Airpods they are very little cute thing.'
✓ 'I have an iPhone, and I use AirPods; they are very small and cute.'
Countable singular 'iPhone' needs an article 'an'. 'AirPods' is a plural brand name. Adjectives 'very little cute thing' are incorrect order and word choice; use 'very small and cute' or 'a small, cute device.'
× 'So I can take it everywhere it's it's doesn't take big area so I can put it in my bag, my pocket.'
✓ 'I can take them everywhere; they don\'t take up much space, so I can put them in my bag or pocket.'
Use plural pronoun 'them' for 'AirPods'. 'Doesn\'t take big area' is ungrammatical: say 'don\'t take up much space.' Use articles appropriately ('my pocket' or just 'pocket').
× 'So I have Airpods.'
✓ 'So I have AirPods.'
'AirPods' capitalization and plural form are correct; main issue was capitalization and brand spelling not tense. Keep present simple 'have' for possession.'
× 'I have minkre needs a game from the outside sounds noises, so every time in bus they are so noise so I use it in bus yeah every time.'
✓ 'I want to block outside sounds and noises, so when the bus is noisy I use them.'
'Minkre needs a game' is unintelligible; likely meant 'I want to block outside sounds'. Combine ideas into clear structure. Use plural 'them' for headphones. Use 'when the bus is noisy' or 'when I travel by bus and it is noisy.'
× 'Every time I traveling in the bus I use it so.'
✓ 'Every time I travel by bus I use them.'
Use present simple 'I travel' for habitual actions, not 'I traveling'. Use 'by bus' or 'on the bus' and plural pronoun 'them' for headphones.'
× '87 AM home doing studies or watching films.'
✓ 'At home, I study or watch films.'
Sentence lacks subject-verb structure and contains '87 AM' which is unclear; likely meant 'At home'. Provide correct subject and present simple verbs for habitual actions.'
× 'Yeah, obviously I only use headphones since when I'm travelling, yeah, then I didn't use it every time.'
✓ 'I only use headphones when I\'m travelling; I don\'t use them at other times.'
Mix of tenses: 'didn't use' (past) is inconsistent with habitual present 'only use' and 'when I\'m travelling'. Use present simple/habitual. Use plural 'them'. Clarify meaning.'
× 'No, it's not adding headphones comfortable because it's umm put you know, yes, no, so it's not that much comfortable.'
✓ 'No, wearing headphones is not comfortable; they are not very comfortable.'
Phrase 'adding headphones' is incorrect; use 'wearing headphones'. 'Not that much comfortable' is non-idiomatic; use 'not very comfortable' or 'not comfortable at all'. Ensure subject-verb agreement and natural adjective placement.'
