Grammar

Past tense issue

× Definitely. When I was 3 or 4 years old my parents bought me a Lego set and I've spent all my days just to build a police station.

Definitely. When I was 3 or 4 years old, my parents bought me a Lego set and I spent all my days just building a police station.

The sentence incorrectly uses present perfect tense 'I've spent' to describe a past action completed in childhood. It should be simple past 'I spent' to match the past time frame. Also, 'just to build' is better expressed as 'just building' to indicate continuous activity in the past.

Modal verb usage

× To be honest, I would prefer to do puzzles whenever I feel happy, and I usually do it while watching movies or cartoons that I like.

To be honest, I prefer to do puzzles whenever I feel happy, and I usually do it while watching movies or cartoons that I like.

The use of 'would prefer' suggests a hypothetical or conditional preference, but here the speaker is stating a habitual preference. Therefore, simple present 'prefer' is more appropriate.

Past tense issue

× Well, in my opinion, I prefer to do number puzzles basically because I was quite a math student and I have math when I was four years old.

Well, in my opinion, I prefer to do number puzzles basically because I was quite good at math and I had math when I was four years old.

The phrase 'I have math when I was four years old' mixes present tense 'have' with past time 'was'. It should be past tense 'had' to match the time frame. Also, 'was quite a math student' is awkward; 'was quite good at math' is clearer.

Singular and plural issue

× So I will go for them for those.

So I will go for those.

The phrase 'go for them for those' is redundant and confusing. 'Those' alone correctly refers to the plural puzzles. 'Them' is unnecessary here.

Singular and plural issue

× And I think word puzzle is more difficult for me.

And I think word puzzles are more difficult for me.

'Word puzzle' is singular but the context implies a general category, so plural 'word puzzles' is appropriate. Also, the verb should agree in number: 'are' for plural.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× Basically it's just because I'm by the grammars and.

Basically, it's just because I'm bad at grammar.

The phrase 'I'm by the grammars' is incorrect. The correct expression is 'I'm bad at grammar'. Also, 'grammar' is uncountable and does not take plural 'grammars'.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× Well, definitely, because as the old people, the the puzzles, it can strengthen their memories, their skills, and by doing it with each other they can bond their relationship with other peoples.

Well, definitely, because for old people, puzzles can strengthen their memories and skills, and by doing them together, they can strengthen their relationships with other people.

The sentence has incorrect pronoun use: 'the the puzzles, it' is confusing. 'Puzzles' is plural, so 'they' or 'them' should be used. Also, 'bond their relationship' is incorrect; 'strengthen their relationships' is better. 'Other peoples' should be 'other people' as 'people' is already plural.
