× We have to be.
✓ We had to be polite.
The original sentence 'We have to be.' is incomplete and mismatches the past context (speaker discussing childhood). The tense should be past ('had to be') to match 'when I was a child'. Also 'be' needs an adjective to complete meaning; adding 'polite' clarifies intent. Suggestion: use past modal 'had to' when describing habitual obligations in the past.
× However in other country it may be the best a attitude to be polite.
✓ However, in other countries it may be considered the best attitude to be polite.
This sentence has article and noun-number errors and awkward structure. 'Other country' should be plural 'other countries' or 'another country'; 'the best a attitude' is incorrect order and articles. Rewriting as 'considered the best attitude' fixes word order and clarity. Suggestion: use plural for generalization and 'considered' to express opinion.
× However in other country it may be the best a attitude to be polite.
✓ However, in other countries it may be the best attitude to be polite.
The phrase 'other country' needs an article or pluralization; 'a attitude' incorrectly uses 'a' before a vowel-sounding word and wrong article choice. Either 'another country' or 'other countries' is appropriate. Also remove the extra 'a'. Suggestion: use 'other countries' for general statements and 'the best attitude' without 'a'.
× It may be modest, too modest for foreigners, but I if I go upload, I would consent.
✓ It may be modest, too modest for foreigners, but if I went abroad, I would agree.
Multiple issues: 'go upload' is incorrect word choice; likely intended 'go abroad'. 'I if I go upload' has wrong word order and tense. 'Would consent' is unnatural in this context; 'would agree' fits better. Change 'go' to past subjunctive 'went' after 'if' with conditional 'would'. Suggestion: use correct vocabulary ('abroad') and proper conditional word order: 'if I went abroad, I would agree.'
× She always taught me to be polite, especially in front of people and even in family.
✓ She always taught me to be polite, especially in front of people and even with family.
The phrase 'in family' is incorrect preposition use; 'with family' or 'within the family' is correct. Also 'always taught' is past habitual and fine; only preposition needed correction. Suggestion: use 'with family' or 'within my family' for natural English.
× She always taught me to be polite, especially in front of people and even in family.
✓ She always taught me to be polite, especially in front of people and even with family.
Preposition 'in' before 'family' is unnatural. Use 'with family' or 'within the family' to indicate context. Suggestion: choose 'with family' for casual speech or 'within my family' for formality.
× However in other country it may be the best a attitude to be polite.
✓ However, in other countries it may be the best attitude to be polite.
Subject-verb agreement and noun number: 'other country' should be plural for a general statement, matching 'may be'. Changing to 'other countries' fixes agreement and generalization. Suggestion: use plural when making general claims about other places.
