× Yes, I do like drawing.
✓ Yes, I like drawing.
Using 'do' for emphasis is unnecessary in a simple present affirmative response. Remove 'do' to use the correct simple present form for habitual likes. Suggestion: say 'Yes, I like drawing.' Grammar problem type ID: 6
× Uh, I used to draw umm, a lot when I was young.
✓ I used to draw a lot when I was young.
The phrase 'used to' correctly indicates a past habitual action; remove filler words and misplaced comma. Keep simple past habitual structure. Suggestion: 'I used to draw a lot when I was young.' Grammar problem type ID: 5
× I never went to a gallery before but I wish to and I hope to go one of them because I like to see others paintings and I would love to see them.
✓ I have never been to a gallery before, but I would like to and I hope to visit one because I like to see other people's paintings.
Use present perfect 'have never been' for experience up to now. 'Been to a gallery' is natural for visits. 'Go one of them' is incorrect; use 'visit one.' 'Others paintings' needs possessive form 'other people's paintings.' Also use 'would like to' for polite desire. Suggestion: 'I have never been to a gallery before, but I would like to and I hope to visit one because I like to see other people's paintings.' Grammar problem type ID: 5
× Yes, of course I would love to learn more uh, because umm, I like to draw a lot uh, since I was young, so learning will allow me to expand my uh, skills and improve it uh, to be a better artist.
✓ Yes, of course I would love to learn more because I have liked drawing since I was young, so learning will allow me to expand my skills and improve them to become a better artist.
Use present perfect or present perfect continuous ('have liked') to connect past preference to present. 'Improve it' is wrong because 'skills' is plural; use 'improve them.' 'To be a better artist' is acceptable, but 'to become a better artist' flows better. Suggestion: 'Yes, of course I would love to learn more because I have liked drawing since I was young, so learning will allow me to expand my skills and improve them to become a better artist.' Grammar problem type ID: 4
× Yes, uh, I did learn by myself.
✓ Yes, I learned by myself.
In simple past affirmative sentences, auxiliary 'did' is unnecessary and nonstandard when paired with main verb in affirmative. Use simple past 'learned.' Suggestion: 'Yes, I learned by myself.' Grammar problem type ID: 5
× Uh, so now I'm a self-taught, uh, artist.
✓ So now I'm a self-taught artist.
Remove unnecessary comma between 'self-taught' and 'artist' and filler sounds. 'Self-taught' is a compound adjective modifying 'artist.' Suggestion: 'So now I'm a self-taught artist.' Grammar problem type ID: 13
× Uh, I have practice, uh, practiced, uh, drawing uh, a lot uh, but now umm, I spend less time.
✓ I have practiced drawing a lot, but now I spend less time doing it.
Use present perfect 'have practiced' (not 'have practice' or repeated 'practiced') to indicate past actions relevant now. Add 'doing it' to refer back to drawing. Suggestion: 'I have practiced drawing a lot, but now I spend less time doing it.' Grammar problem type ID: 9}]}
