✓ Sometimes I love listening to happy music to boost my emotions, and listening to sad music makes me feel my emotions.
The verb 'want' is incorrectly used with 'listening to sad music' as subject. This is a subject-verb agreement and verb choice issue: 'listening to sad music wants me' is incorrect because non-human activities do not 'want'. Use 'makes' to express causing an effect. Also add a comma to join the two coordinated clauses. Suggestion: Use 'makes me feel' to describe the effect of music and ensure subject-verb agreement by matching a singular noun phrase ('listening') with singular verb 'makes'.
× Yes, happy musics makes me more excited to do the things around me and it makes me feel motivated.
✓ Yes, happy music makes me more excited to do the things around me and it makes me feel motivated.
The noun 'music' is uncountable and should not take a plural form 'musics'. Also ensure subject-verb agreement: with singular uncountable 'music', use 'makes'. Suggestion: Use uncountable nouns in their base form (music) and pair with correct singular verb forms.
× No, I haven't taken any music classes before because I don't need it and I do not have any passion for music. I just want to listen and enjoy the.
✓ No, I haven't taken any music classes before because I don't need them and I do not have any passion for music. I just want to listen and enjoy it.
Errors: 'music classes' is plural and requires the pronoun 'them' rather than 'it'. Also the phrase 'enjoy the.' is incomplete and needs an object 'it' referring to music. Additionally 'want to listen and enjoy it' uses parallel verbs correctly. Suggestion: Match pronouns to their antecedents in number and ensure each verb has a clear object.
× I listen to music while I wash dishes and cooking and all the household chores to feel more relaxed.
✓ I listen to music while I wash dishes, cook, and do all the household chores to feel more relaxed.
Incorrect verb forms after 'while': use the base form or parallel forms ('wash' and 'cook') rather than mixing 'wash dishes and cooking'. Also include 'do' before 'all the household chores' for clarity. Use commas to separate items in a list. Suggestion: Keep verb forms parallel when listing activities (wash, cook, do) and use commas for clarity.
