× Yes, sometimes I remember my dream when I wake up after having a good sleep.
✓ Yes, sometimes I remember my dreams when I wake up after having a good sleep.
The student used singular 'dream' but refers to dreams in general; use plural 'dreams' for habitual actions. Also maintain subject-verb agreement with plural noun in context.
× Mostly when I sleep at the NI in the nights.
✓ Mostly when I sleep at night.
The phrase 'at the NI' is unclear and likely a mistake. Use the standard preposition 'at night' to refer to nighttime in general. Remove unnecessary article 'the' and the incorrect 'NI'.
× I remember my dreams in the morning, not not in the afternoons or evenings.
✓ I remember my dreams in the morning, not in the afternoons or evenings.
There is a repeated word 'not not' which is a mistake. Also use plural 'afternoons' and 'evenings' to indicate general times of day. Maintain parallel structure.
× No, I don't share my dreams with others because I myself forget my dream.
✓ No, I don't share my dreams with others because I often forget my dreams myself.
Use 'often' for habitual action and keep noun number consistent: 'dreams' plural. Position 'myself' after the verb phrase for natural emphasis.
× Also I don't listen to others dreams, are not interested in their dreams because it doesn't have to do nothing with me.
✓ Also, I don't listen to others' dreams and am not interested in them because they have nothing to do with me.
Correct conjunction use: join clauses with 'and'. Use possessive form 'others'' for others' dreams. Use 'am not' for first-person and avoid double negative 'doesn't... nothing' — use 'have nothing to do with me.' Ensure subject-verb agreement 'they have'.
× So yes.
✓ So no, I don't share them.
The student answered 'So yes' which contradicts previous negative statements. Provide a response consistent with context. If keeping 'So yes' as colloquial agreement, clarify intent; here correction aligns logically: 'So no, I don't share them.'
× Yes, I think dreams have a special meaning because when a person thinks continuously about something in the day, uh, so he usually dreams about it.
✓ Yes, I think dreams have a special meaning because when a person thinks continuously about something during the day, they usually dream about it.
Use 'during the day' instead of 'in the day' for natural collocation. Avoid gender-specific pronoun 'he'; use singular 'they' for a general person. Remove filler 'so' which is unnecessary.
× Yes, I want my dreams to come true because I usually dream about studying in a good College in Australia and coming back to India, then establishing a company where I can provide employment for at least 10 people.
✓ Yes, I want my dreams to come true because I usually dream about studying at a good college in Australia, then coming back to India and establishing a company where I can provide employment for at least ten people.
Use 'study at' for institutions and lowercase 'college' unless it is a proper name. Use consistent parallel gerunds: 'studying... then coming back... establishing'. Spell out small numbers in prose: 'ten'. Use commas and conjunctions for clarity.
× So yes, this stream I want this dream to come true.
✓ So yes, in short, I want this dream to come true.
The original phrase 'this stream I want this dream to come true' is ungrammatical and unclear. Replace with a concise, grammatical phrase 'in short, I want this dream to come true' to convey the intended meaning.
