× There are a lot of things that I love. Yes, flowers are one of the thing that I love because they're just beautiful.
✓ There are a lot of things that I love. Yes, flowers are one of the things that I love because they're just beautiful.
The singular noun 'thing' should be plural 'things' after the expression 'one of the', which requires a plural noun. Use 'one of the things' to match the quantifier phrase.
× They just makes my mood happy.
✓ They just make my mood happy.
The subject 'they' is plural, so the verb must be the base form 'make' (not 'makes'). Ensure subject-verb agreement by matching plural subjects with plural verbs.
× They just makes my day good.
✓ They just make my day good.
Same issue: 'they' is plural, so use 'make' instead of 'makes' to maintain subject-verb agreement.
× They smells good, they're colorful, and I like them.
✓ They smell good, they're colorful, and I like them.
'They' is plural and requires the plural verb 'smell' rather than 'smells'. Correct the verb form to agree with the plural pronoun.
× Well, I think most of the people obviously loves flowers, but my mom, she just absolutely loves flowers.
✓ Well, I think most people obviously love flowers, but my mom, she just absolutely loves flowers.
Use 'most people' (not 'most of the people') for general statements; more importantly, 'most people' is plural so the verb should be 'love' not 'loves'. 'My mom... loves' is correct because 'mom' is singular.
× So my mom has planted so many flowers in our house, in our terrace.
✓ So my mom has planted so many flowers in our house, on our terrace.
Use the preposition 'on' for locations like 'terrace' (a flat area attached to a building). 'In our terrace' is not idiomatic; use 'on our terrace' or 'on the terrace'.
× Well, I already said that my mom loves flower.
✓ Well, I already said that my mom loves flowers.
'Flower' should be plural 'flowers' when speaking generally about liking them. Use plural for general preferences.
× So yeah, I live around a lot of flowers in my house.
✓ So yeah, I live around a lot of flowers at my house.
Use 'at my house' to indicate location of residence. 'In my house' implies inside the building; 'live around a lot of flowers at my house' or simply 'There are a lot of flowers around my house' is more natural.
× When I go to the terrace and just go for some fresh air.
✓ When I go to the terrace and just get some fresh air, it makes my day better.
The original is a sentence fragment lacking a main clause. Combine it with the following idea and use a main verb ('get') to complete the sentence: 'When I go to the terrace and just get some fresh air, it makes my day better.'
× It makes my day better.
✓ It makes my day better.
This sentence is correct; 'it' (singular) correctly pairs with 'makes'. No change needed.
× Well, I love taking photographs, uh, every day.
✓ Well, I love taking photographs every day.
The original is acceptable but contains filler 'uh' and an extra comma. Use the -ing form 'taking' correctly to express a habitual action; remove filler for clarity.
× So I like, uh, taking photographs of flowers because why not?
✓ So I like taking photographs of flowers because why not?
Use the gerund 'taking' after 'like' to express preference. Remove filler 'uh' for fluency.
× So I just keep, uh, I just take photos for some memories.
✓ So I just take photos for memories.
'Keep' plus a verb requires structure; here 'I just take photos' is simpler and correct. 'For some memories' is awkward; 'for memories' or 'to keep memories' is better. Present simple 'take' is appropriate for habitual actions.
× Nowadays people also send flowers to each other without any regions.
✓ Nowadays people also send flowers to each other without any reason.
'Regions' is incorrect here; the intended meaning is 'reason'. Use 'reason' to indicate people send flowers without a specific occasion.
× But especially in our country, we send flowers to others during weddings or maybe some festival or when we are celebrating something.
✓ But especially in our country, we send flowers to others during weddings, at some festivals, or when we are celebrating something.
Use plural 'festivals' for general reference and the preposition 'at' with festivals, or simply 'during festivals'. Also add commas for clarity in the list.
