× So yeah, definitely. So nowadays I try to keep bought out my worst way in living area neat and well organized because a clean environment helps me stay focused and productive, so I also feel much more relaxed when everything is in the right place.
✓ Yes, definitely. Nowadays I try to keep my living area neat and well organized because a clean environment helps me stay focused and productive, and I feel much more relaxed when everything is in the right place.
The original sentence has awkward phrasing and extra words (bought out my worst way) that do not make sense, causing a sentence structure error. Remove the unclear phrase and combine clauses with appropriate conjunctions. Also replace 'So yeah' and multiple 'so' with clearer connectors. Suggestion: simplify to 'Nowadays I try to keep my living area neat and well organized...' and use 'and' to connect related ideas.
× So not really. So I when I was a giant marine was usually quite messy because I often left toys, books and clothes all over the place.
✓ Not really. When I was a child I was usually quite messy because I often left toys, books, and clothes all over the place.
The phrase 'giant marine' is an incorrect and unintended pronoun/noun use; it seems the speaker meant 'child.' Also the extra 'I' before 'when' and redundant 'so' create grammatical errors. Correct by using the proper noun 'child' and proper clause order: 'When I was a child, I was usually quite messy.'
× So my parents constantly remind me to keep things organized.
✓ My parents constantly reminded me to keep things organized.
The context is past habit, so the verb should be in past tense to agree with the subject and time frame. Use 'reminded' (past) rather than 'remind' (present). Ensure tense consistency in narrative: past events use past verbs.
× But I was more interested in playing than cleaning up.
✓ But I was more interested in playing than in cleaning up.
The sentence is understandable but missing the preposition 'in' before the second gerund for parallel structure: 'interested in playing than in cleaning up.' This ensures grammatical parallelism when comparing interests.
× However, as I grew older so I gradually developed better habit and became more responsible.
✓ However, as I grew older, I gradually developed better habits and became more responsible.
Use plural 'habits' and remove the unnecessary filler 'so' after the clause. Add a comma after the introductory clause and ensure noun plurality matches meaning. This fixes tense and noun number consistency.
× So I try to keep up my work space and my living area need and well organized by.
✓ I try to keep my workspace and my living area neat and well organized.
The original sentence contains word order errors and incorrect words ('need', 'by') that break the sentence. Remove filler 'So', correct 'work space' to 'workspace', and place adjectives in correct order: 'neat and well organized.'
× I usually have to clean clean the tables and make things right place when I have a clean environment.
✓ I usually clean the tables and put things in the right place to maintain a clean environment.
There is a duplicated word 'clean' and incorrect phrase 'make things right place.' Use 'clean' once and the correct verb phrase 'put things in the right place.' Also adjust clause to express purpose ('to maintain a clean environment').
× So I have to stay focused.
✓ This helps me stay focused.
The original sentence 'So I have to stay focused' is awkward and changes meaning to obligation. In context, tidiness enables focus, so use 'This helps me stay focused.' Align verb tense and intended meaning.
× So I think that, uh, a clean environment help me stay focused and productive and I feel much more relaxed when everything is in the bright place.
✓ I think that a clean environment helps me stay focused and productive, and I feel much more relaxed when everything is in the right place.
Use 'helps' (third-person singular) to agree with 'a clean environment.' Replace 'the bright place' with the correct idiom 'the right place.' Remove filler 'uh' and extra 'so' for clarity.
× So although I'm not an overly strict about cleanliness, so I do believe tidiness reflect a person lifestyle and discipline.
✓ Although I'm not overly strict about cleanliness, I do believe tidiness reflects a person's lifestyle and discipline.
Remove redundant 'so' and the article 'an' before 'overly strict.' Use 'reflects' (third-person singular) to agree with 'tidiness.' Use the possessive 'person's' and add 'a' before 'person's' if needed. Ensure subject-verb agreement and correct possessive form.
