× To be honest, I was a bit messy when I was a child. I was always putting my clothes or toys everywhere in my house until my parents remind me to pick them up.
✓ To be honest, I was a bit messy when I was a child. I was always putting my clothes or toys everywhere in my house until my parents reminded me to pick them up.
The verb 'remind' should be in the past tense 'reminded' to match the past-time context set by 'was' and 'was always putting'. Use past tense for actions that happened in the past to keep tense consistency. Suggestion: change 'remind' to 'reminded'.
× To make my work or study based tidy and clean, I usually put my things in an organized way so that the whole space will look more organized.
✓ To keep my work or study space tidy and clean, I usually arrange my things in an organized way so that the whole space looks neater.
The original sentence contains awkward word order and an incorrect phrase 'study based' and a tense/modal issue 'will look'. 'Study space' is the correct noun phrase; 'keep' is a natural verb here. 'Arrange' is a clearer verb than 'put' for organizing items. Use present simple 'looks' (not 'will look') because the sentence describes a habitual action and its usual result. Also 'neater' is a better adjective than repeating 'organized'. Suggestion: replace 'To make my work or study based tidy and clean' with 'To keep my work or study space tidy and clean', change 'put my things' to 'arrange my things', and use 'looks neater'.
× Also, it reflects personal discipline and show respect for shared place.
✓ Also, it reflects personal discipline and shows respect for shared places.
There are two issues: subject-verb agreement ('show' should be 'shows' to agree with singular subject 'it') and noun phrase 'shared place' is unnatural and usually plural or with an article ('shared places' or 'the shared place'). Here 'shared places' better conveys general meaning. According to the provided list, the primary error type is article/ noun usage; however the verb error is subject-verb agreement (ID 27). The correction addresses both: use 'shows' and pluralize to 'shared places'. Suggestion: change 'show' to 'shows' and 'shared place' to 'shared places'.
