× I enjoyed showing my room to visit us.
✓ I enjoyed showing my room to visitors.
The sentence uses an incorrect pronoun phrase 'to visit us'. The intended meaning is to show the room to people who visit, so the correct noun is 'visitors'. Use 'visitors' as the object; 'visit us' is a verb phrase and does not fit here. Suggestion: Replace verb phrase with the noun 'visitors' when referring to people who come to your home.
× For example, every weekend I would spend an hour putting toys and book back in their places.
✓ For example, every weekend I would spend an hour putting toys and books back in their places.
The noun 'book' should be plural 'books' to match the plural demonstrative 'toys' and the plural possessive 'their'. Ensure countable nouns agree in number when referring to multiple items. Suggestion: Use plural form for countable items when referring to more than one.
× For example, creative people may find that the starting amount of critics perks creativity and helps them relax, whereas others need an organized place to concentrate.
✓ For example, creative people may find that a certain amount of chaos sparks creativity and helps them relax, whereas others need an organized place to concentrate.
The original phrase 'the starting amount of critics perks creativity' is ungrammatical and uses incorrect words. 'Critics' and 'starting amount' are incorrect here. A common collocation is 'a certain amount of chaos sparks creativity'. Use 'sparks' (verb) with 'creativity'. Suggestion: Use natural collocations such as 'amount of chaos' and the verb 'sparks' to describe how disorder can stimulate creativity.
