× My favorite food is Mexican.
✓ My favorite cuisine is Mexican.
'Mexican' alone can be used as a noun but in this context 'food' collocates better with 'cuisine'. Replacing 'food' with 'cuisine' is more natural and fixes adjective-noun awkwardness. Suggestion: use 'cuisine' when describing a type of national food.
× Mexican food has is high calories but I love the taste.
✓ Mexican food is high in calories, but I love the taste.
This sentence had an extra verb 'has' and incorrect adjective structure. Use 'is high in calories' to describe caloric content. Also add a comma before 'but' to connect the contrasting idea. Suggestion: remove redundant words and use the correct collocation 'high in calories'.
× I frequently go to Mexican restaurant.
✓ I frequently go to Mexican restaurants.
Countable singular nouns require an article ('a Mexican restaurant') or use plural without an article ('Mexican restaurants') for general frequency. Here plural fits better to indicate habitual visits. Suggestion: use 'a' for one restaurant or plural for restaurants in general.
× When I was young, I used to like omelette, rice, hamburger, French fry.
✓ When I was young, I used to like omelettes, rice, hamburgers, and French fries.
List items should be plural when speaking generally about types of food you liked. Also add 'and' before the last item for correct list construction and make 'French fries' plural as the common form. Suggestion: pluralize countable food items when referring generally.
× No I don't.
✓ No, I don't.
A comma is needed after short interjection 'No' before the clause. Although this is a punctuation issue, it affects sentence clarity. Suggestion: add a comma after interjections.
× I basically eat the same food over and over again, Japanese or Mexican.
✓ I basically eat the same foods over and over again: Japanese or Mexican.
Using 'foods' or 'types of food' is more natural when referring to categories. Also use a colon or rephrase to introduce examples. Suggestion: say 'the same foods' or 'the same types of food' and use punctuation to introduce examples.
× That has changed, yes.
✓ Yes, that has changed.
This is primarily word order and emphasis. Moving 'yes' to the front is more natural when confirming. Also ensure tense matches the context — present perfect 'has changed' is acceptable here. Suggestion: place confirmation words where they sound natural: 'Yes, …'.
× So I used to like Japanese food before when I was little, but now currently I really like Mexican food so much.
✓ I used to like Japanese food when I was little, but now I really like Mexican food.
'Used to' already indicates past habit, so 'before' is redundant. 'When I was little' suffices. 'Now' and 'currently' are both present-time markers; use one. Also 'so much' is informal and redundant with 'really'. Suggestion: remove redundant words and choose a single present-time adverb.
× I'm learning recipe and then cooking Mexican food for my for my husband.
✓ I'm learning recipes and cooking Mexican food for my husband.
'Learn a recipe' collocation should be pluralized as 'recipes' when speaking generally, or say 'learning a recipe' if singular. 'Then' is unnecessary; sequence is implied. Remove duplicate 'for my'. Suggestion: use 'learning recipes' or 'learning a recipe' and avoid repetition and unnecessary sequence words.
× I'm learning recipe and then cooking Mexican food for my for my husband.
✓ I'm learning recipes and cooking Mexican food for my husband.
The phrase contained a repeated fragment 'for my for my husband' which is a pronoun/phrase repetition error. Removing the duplicate fixes the pronoun phrase. Suggestion: proofread to remove duplicated words.
