× I'm working at the moment as a food service supervisor in an eminent restaurant in Saskatoon.
✓ I am working at the moment as a food service supervisor at an eminent restaurant in Saskatoon.
Use of preposition: 'in' is incorrect with 'restaurant' when referring to employment location; 'at' is the correct preposition for being employed at a specific establishment. Also expand contraction to 'I am' is acceptable but not required. Suggestion: use 'work at' or 'am working at'.
× It's an Indian restaurant which serve the flavourful dishes both vegetarian and non vegetarian.
✓ It's an Indian restaurant which serves flavourful dishes, both vegetarian and non-vegetarian.
Subject-verb agreement and hyphenation: 'restaurant' (singular) requires 'serves' (third person singular). Also 'non vegetarian' should be hyphenated as 'non-vegetarian'. Suggestion: ensure the verb agrees with singular subject and use correct hyphenation for compound adjectives.
× I have been working there since 2 years and it's a splendid experience to gain more skills.
✓ I have been working there for two years, and it has been a splendid experience for gaining more skills.
Use of 'since' vs 'for' and number format: 'since' requires a point in time (e.g., 2019); use 'for' with a period of time. Also use 'two' in words for formality and adjust clause to 'has been' for continuous relevance. Suggestion: use 'for two years' with present perfect continuous and rephrase the second clause for clarity.
× I work in Swadesh restaurant, uh, eminent place among the South Asian community in Saskatoon, built on the 22nd St. of the city.
✓ I work at Swadesh Restaurant, an eminent place among the South Asian community in Saskatoon, located on 22nd St. of the city.
Preposition and article: use 'at' for a place of employment and capitalize proper name. 'An eminent place' requires the article 'an'. 'Built on' is awkward for location; 'located on' is more natural. Suggestion: use 'at' for workplaces and include appropriate articles for nouns.
× The ambience of the restaurant is impeccable and you feel a sense of satisfaction and relaxation when you step in the restaurant and taste the amazing.
✓ The ambience of the restaurant is impeccable, and you feel a sense of satisfaction and relaxation when you step into the restaurant and taste the amazing food.
Preposition and missing noun: use 'step into' rather than 'step in the restaurant'. Also 'taste the amazing' lacks a noun; add 'food'. Suggestion: include the object of 'taste' and use correct prepositions.
× In my opinion, it is the planted place to work because the people, the staff and the owner are really magnanimous and helpful towards the new employee.
✓ In my opinion, it is the perfect place to work because the people, the staff, and the owner are really magnanimous and helpful toward new employees.
Word choice and noun form: 'planted' is incorrect; likely intended 'pleasant' or 'perfect'. 'New employee' should be pluralized to 'new employees' for general statement. 'Towards' and 'toward' are both acceptable; choose 'toward'. Suggestion: use correct adjective ('pleasant' or 'perfect') and pluralize when speaking generally.
× I'm have been working here since 2 years and I haven't have any issue regarding any customer or any of my.
✓ I have been working here for two years, and I haven't had any issues with any customers or any of my colleagues.
Auxiliary verb and tense errors: 'I'm have been' mixes present continuous and present perfect; correct is 'I have been'. Use 'for two years' for duration. 'haven't have' is incorrect; use 'haven't had'. 'any issue regarding any customer or any of my' is incomplete; clarify 'issues with any customers or any of my colleagues'. Suggestion: use consistent present perfect continuous/have structure and complete the noun phrases.
× Yes, I really like the place where work.
✓ Yes, I really like the place where I work.
Missing subject pronoun: 'where work' lacks the subject 'I'. In relative clauses referring to place, include the subject if needed. Suggestion: include 'I' after 'where'.
× I find the environment quite motivating and my colleagues are really supportive, which also helps me to reduce my stress.
✓ I find the environment quite motivating, and my colleagues are really supportive, which also helps me reduce my stress.
Infinitive usage: 'helps me to reduce' is acceptable but more natural without 'to' in this context: 'helps me reduce'. Suggestion: omit 'to' after 'helps' for more natural phrasing.
× For example, we often help each other with difficult task and share ideas during team meetings.
✓ For example, we often help each other with difficult tasks and share ideas during team meetings.
Article and number: 'difficult task' should be plural 'difficult tasks' or preceded by 'a' if singular. Here plural is natural. Suggestion: match noun number to context.
× There is nothing about the jealousy, it's all about the teamwork.
✓ There is no jealousy; it's all about teamwork.
Awkward phrase: 'nothing about the jealousy' is unidiomatic. Use 'no jealousy' and drop 'the' before 'teamwork'. Suggestion: use concise negative constructions and omit unnecessary articles.
× My goal is to become an entrepreneur.
✓ My goal is to become an entrepreneur.
This sentence is grammatically correct and matches the intended future plan. No change needed. Suggestion: none.
× I always wanted to start up my own business.
✓ I have always wanted to start my own business.
Tense and collocation: 'I always wanted' suggests a past-only desire; 'have always wanted' expresses an ongoing desire. 'Start up' can be 'start' — 'start up' is acceptable but 'start' is more common here. Suggestion: use present perfect for ongoing desires and prefer 'start' in this phrase.
× I want to start one of my own food chain.
✓ I want to start my own food chain.
Article and word order: 'one of my own food chain' is incorrect. Use 'my own food chain' or 'one of my own food chains' if planning multiple. Suggestion: use 'my own' directly before the noun.
× I'm working through it and learning the basic skills of food service line.
✓ I am working toward it and learning the basic skills of the food service line.
Preposition and article: 'working through it' is unclear; use 'working toward it' for pursuing a goal. 'food service line' needs the definite article 'the'. Suggestion: use 'work toward' for pursuing a plan and include appropriate articles.
× This job helps me a lot to gain the experience and the skill.
✓ This job helps me a lot to gain experience and skills.
Articles and plurality: 'the experience and the skill' is unnatural when speaking generally. Omit 'the' and pluralize 'skills' for general abilities. Suggestion: use uncountable 'experience' without article and plural 'skills'.
