× The food that I like when I was young until now that I'm I thought it's pork sinigang and chicken Adolfo.
✓ The food that I liked when I was young and still like now is pork sinigang and chicken adobo.
This sentence has tense and word-form problems. Use past tense 'liked' to refer to when you were young, and present simple 'still like' for now. Remove extra words ('I'm I thought') and use 'is' to link the subject to the list. Also correct 'Adolfo' to 'adobo' and keep noun forms consistent. Suggestion: Break complex ideas into simpler clauses: 'When I was young I liked X. I still like it now.'
× It was that was cooked by my mother.
✓ It was cooked by my mother.
The original repeats the verb 'was' incorrectly. Use a single past passive form 'was cooked' to indicate the action happened in the past. Alternatively use active voice: 'My mother cooked it.' Suggestion: Avoid redundant auxiliary verbs and choose active or passive consistently.
× We usually have two seasons, it's summer and the rainy season.
✓ We usually have two seasons: summer and the rainy season.
The sentence uses an unnecessary contraction 'it's' and punctuation. Use a colon or comma without 'it's' to list the seasons. Keep the definite article with 'rainy season' if you specify it as one of the seasons. Suggestion: For lists, use punctuation rather than inserting 'it is'.
× When it comes to rainy season, my mother love to cook chocolate porridge and we will put the milk powder on top and it was very good, It was very comforting.
✓ When it comes to the rainy season, my mother loves to cook chocolate porridge, and we put milk powder on top. It is very good and very comforting.
Subject-verb agreement: 'my mother' requires 'loves' not 'love'. Use present simple 'we put' for habitual actions instead of 'we will put'. Keep tense consistent: use present for habitual routines ('is very good', 'is comforting'). Also add the article 'the' before 'rainy season' and remove comma splice by using proper punctuation. Suggestion: For habitual routines describe in present simple and ensure verbs agree with subjects.
× No, my favorite food don't change since I was a child.
✓ No, my favorite food hasn't changed since I was a child.
The sentence mixes present simple with a time marker 'since I was a child', which requires present perfect. Use 'hasn't changed' for a situation that began in the past and continues to the present. Also ensure subject-verb agreement: 'food' (singular) goes with 'hasn't'. Suggestion: Use present perfect with 'since' and 'for' to link past and present.
× It's still pork adobo and the pork sinigo.
✓ It's still pork adobo and pork sinigang.
The original has a misspelling 'sinigo' and an unnecessary article 'the' before 'pork sinigang'. Use the correct dish name 'sinigang' and parallel structure for the two foods. Keep 'it's still' for present state. Suggestion: Ensure consistent naming and parallel noun phrases when listing items.
× Because it it's very comforting and it makes me feel calm.
✓ Because it's very comforting and makes me feel calm.
The sentence contains a duplicated subject 'it it's' and an unnecessary repeated subject 'it' before 'makes'. Use a single 'it' and omit the repeated subject in the second clause for natural coordinated structure: 'it is comforting and (it) makes me feel calm' becomes 'it is comforting and makes me feel calm.' Suggestion: Avoid duplicated words and remove redundant pronouns in coordinated clauses.
