× I prefer handwriting because. Writing things on paper with pens and pencils.
✓ I prefer handwriting because I can write things on paper with pens and pencils.
The original is a sentence fragment and has incorrect sentence structure. 'Because.' leaves a dependent clause without a main clause. Combine the ideas into one complete sentence: include a subject and verb after 'because' (I can write...). This fixes the fragment and creates a logical cause-effect sentence.
× I'm more efficient when you learn things or capture your ideas.
✓ I'm more efficient when I learn things or capture my ideas.
The original mixes second person 'you' and first person 'I'm', causing pronoun inconsistency. Use first-person pronouns consistently to match the speaker ('I' and 'my'). This ensures subject and pronouns agree in perspective.
× I'm most of the time I type on a desktop keyboard every day.
✓ Most of the time I type on a desktop keyboard.
The original has a redundant and ungrammatical structure ('I'm most of the time I'). Remove 'I'm' and 'every day' (redundant with 'most of the time') to form a grammatical main clause: 'Most of the time I type on a desktop keyboard.' If the speaker wants to stress daily habit, use 'I type on a desktop keyboard every day.'
× So at that time I will type on a laptop keyboard.
✓ So at that time I type on a laptop keyboard.
Using 'will' makes the action sound like a future event, but the context describes a habitual past/present action when attending meetings. Use the simple present 'type' to express habitual actions. If describing a habitual past, use 'typed.'
× I learned typing when I was in elementary school.
✓ I learned to type when I was in elementary school.
'Learned typing' is awkward; the correct infinitive form is 'learned to type' or use the noun form 'typing lessons'. Use 'learned to type' to indicate acquiring the skill.
× The school curriculum curriculum carried a typing lesson, so I learned it there.
✓ The school curriculum included a typing lesson, so I learned it there.
The sentence repeats 'curriculum' and uses 'carried' incorrectly. Use the verb 'included' to indicate the curriculum contained a typing lesson. Removing the duplicate word fixes redundancy.
× After that, my dad bought me a computer, so I was typing every day since then.
✓ After that, my dad bought me a computer, so I have been typing every day since then.
The original mixes past simple ('bought') with a past continuous + 'since then', which requires present perfect continuous to express an action that started in the past and continues to the present. Use 'have been typing' with 'since then.'
× I'm brief typing by playing games, uh, games.
✓ I improve my typing by playing games.
'I'm brief typing' is ungrammatical and unclear. Replace with a clear subject-verb-object structure: 'I improve my typing by playing games.' Remove filler 'uh' and repetition.
× For example, there's a game where you type and the fast and accurate you are, you get more points.
✓ For example, there's a game where you type, and the faster and more accurate you are, the more points you get.
Comparative forms and word order are incorrect. Use comparative adjectives 'faster' and 'more accurate' and the correlative structure 'the ... the ...' to show the relationship between speed/accuracy and points.
× I enjoy playing that game.
✓ I enjoy playing that game.
This sentence is grammatically correct and needs no change.
