× I didn't go to specific place for relaxing but maybe I can say that I stayed at home and spend time with my family to relax or spending some time with my loved ones in the cafes or at their homes.
✓ I didn't go to a specific place to relax, but I stayed at home and spent time with my family to relax, or I spent time with my loved ones in cafes or at their homes.
The sentence mixes past and present verb forms. After 'I didn't' the speaker should use past forms consistently. 'Spend' should be 'spent' to match past tense. 'Spending' is a gerund here but does not fit the parallel past structure; use 'I spent'. Also add the article 'a' before 'specific place' and use 'to relax' instead of 'for relaxing' for natural English. Suggestion: Keep verb tenses consistent and use appropriate articles and infinitive forms.
× I usually feel relaxed with my family or my loved ones because I feel safe when I'm around them and I feel that I I am understand when I'm with them.
✓ I usually feel relaxed with my family or my loved ones because I feel safe when I'm around them and I feel that I am understood when I'm with them.
The phrase 'I am understand' is incorrect because 'understand' needs to be in the past participle form 'understood' when used in passive or state constructions. Also remove the duplicated 'I'. Use 'understood' to express that others comprehend you. Suggestion: Use correct verb forms and proofread for repeated words.
× I think it depends on which music are you listening to because some of the musics are very stressful and makes you feel more anxious and I think the classical music for example is better for you to feel the relaxed.
✓ I think it depends on which music you are listening to because some music is very stressful and makes you feel more anxious, and I think classical music, for example, is better for helping you feel relaxed.
Several issues: word order in questions ('which music are you listening to') should be changed to statement order after 'depends on' ('which music you are listening to'). 'Musics' is incorrect as 'music' is uncountable, so use 'some music' not 'some of the musics'. Subject-verb agreement: 'some music is' not 'are'. 'Makes' correctly agrees with 'music', but ensure clarity. 'The classical music' is awkward; use 'classical music' and 'helping you feel relaxed' is more natural than 'to feel the relaxed'. Suggestion: Use statement word order after verbs like 'depends on', treat 'music' as uncountable, and use natural collocations.
× I usually go for a long run or go to the gym or spend some time with my family and also watch movie with them.
✓ I usually go for a long run or go to the gym, or spend some time with my family and also watch movies with them.
The sentence mostly uses present simple correctly for habitual actions, but 'watch movie' is incorrect singular; use the plural 'watch movies' or 'watch a movie'. Also add commas for readability. Suggestion: Match countable nouns with correct singular/plural forms and consider articles when singular ('a movie').
× Or maybe I will go for a coffee with my friends.
✓ Or maybe I will go for a coffee with my friends.
This sentence is grammatically correct and appropriately uses future tense 'will' to express a possible future action. No change needed. Suggestion: None.
