× 'I always trying to eat different kinds of pizza in different countries.'
✓ 'I always try to eat different kinds of pizza in different countries.'
'Always trying' is incorrect because the subject and verb do not agree and the progressive form is not appropriate with the adverb 'always' for a habitual action. This is a subject-verb agreement and tense choice issue (use simple present for habitual actions). Suggestion: use simple present 'I always try' to describe regular habits.'
× 'As a child I was eating some sweets dishes like pudding or cakes.'
✓ 'As a child I ate some sweet dishes like pudding or cakes.'
'Was eating' suggests a continued action in the past but the speaker is describing a habitual past action. Use simple past 'I ate' for repeated actions in childhood. Also 'sweets dishes' is incorrect adjective-noun order and form; use 'sweet dishes' or 'sweets'.
× 'My parents was always avoiding me with sweet things especially from these.'
✓ 'My parents always avoided me with sweet things, especially these.'
'My parents was' is incorrect subject-verb agreement: plural subject requires 'were' or past simple 'avoided'. Also 'avoiding me with sweet things' is awkward; 'avoided giving me sweet things' is clearer. 'Especially from these' is ungrammatical; replace with 'especially these' or 'especially sweets.' Suggestion: 'My parents always avoided giving me sweet things, especially sweets.'
× 'Yeah, most of the time I'm trying to choose the fresh options, which is in its season.'
✓ 'Yeah, most of the time I try to choose fresh options that are in season.'
Using present continuous 'I'm trying' is less natural for habitual behavior; use simple present 'I try'. Also 'which is in its season' has incorrect subject and article agreement: 'options' plural requires 'that are in season' or 'that are in their season.' Suggestion: 'I try to choose fresh options that are in season.'
× 'For example, I don't eat beans in winter.'
✓ 'For example, I don't eat beans in winter.'
'I don't eat beans in winter' is grammatically correct as a habitual present-tense statement; no correction needed.'
× 'In winter I eat soup.'
✓ 'In winter I eat soup.'
'In winter I eat soup' is grammatically acceptable as a habitual statement; no correction necessary. It uses simple present correctly to express habitual action.'
× 'Absolutely. My tastes have matured since I was a child.'
✓ 'Absolutely. My tastes have matured since I was a child.'
'My tastes have matured since I was a child' is grammatically correct: present perfect 'have matured' with 'since' expresses change from past to present. No correction needed.'
× 'When I was a child I was always eating sweet things as I said earlier.'
✓ 'When I was a child I always ate sweet things, as I said earlier.'
'Was always eating' is past continuous that emphasizes an ongoing action; for habitual past actions, use simple past 'always ate.' This fixes tense usage and sounds more natural.'
× 'But now I try some healthy dishes like salads or sometimes I eat noodles.'
✓ 'But now I try some healthy dishes like salads, and sometimes I eat noodles.'
The sentence mixes clauses without a connector. Use simple present 'try' and 'eat' for current habits. Add 'and' or restructure for clarity: 'I try healthy dishes like salads, and sometimes I eat noodles.' This corrects sentence structure and conjunction usage.'
