× Yes, I did puzzles a lot both in elementary school and at home.
✓ Yes, I did puzzles a lot both in elementary school and at home.
该句为过去时描述个人童年经历,时态使用正确,无需修改。
× I often did the math based sudoku game, which is really interesting and mentally stimulating even though it often took a long time for me to complete the right answers.
✓ I often did math-based Sudoku, which was really interesting and mentally stimulating, although it often took me a long time to find the correct answers.
原句结构混乱:1) "math based" 应用连字符构成复合形容词:math-based;2) Sudoku 为专有名词首字母大写;3) 时态应一致,描述过去经历用过去式:"was";4) "complete the right answers" 表达不自然,改为 "find the correct answers" 更准确;5) 用连词 "although" 替换 "even though" 放句中更通顺。建议在表达过去习惯或经历时保持过去时一致,并注意固定搭配(find the answer / correct answer)。
× Well when I was home and I didn't have anyone to play that is the time I often did they they still call game which she helped me to kill time and also interesting to learn new things.
✓ Well, when I was at home and I didn't have anyone to play with, I often played those games that helped me pass the time and were also interesting for learning new things.
句子存在多处问题:1) 介词缺失:应为 "at home";2) 缺少介词 "with" 表示 "和某人一起";3) "did they they still call game" 完全不通,应改为 "played those games" 或 "played the games they call ...";4) 人称和时态需一致,过去经历用过去式 "played"、"helped";5) 句子需分段或用关系从句连接,且形容词需加动词,改为 "were also interesting"。建议写句子时先理清主语、谓语和宾语,保持时态一致,避免重复词。
× While I prefer number puzzles because some Chinese characters make they what puzzles not a common here in China, I often do the number puzzles to kill time and keep me occupied.
✓ I prefer number puzzles because some Chinese-character word puzzles are not common here in China, so I often do number puzzles to kill time and keep myself occupied.
问题点:1) 代词使用错误:"they what puzzles" 无意义,应改为具体名词短语如 "word puzzles" 或 "Chinese-character word puzzles";2) 冠词和复数使用需准确,改为 "number puzzles"(可不加定冠词);3) 反身代词漏用,"keep me occupied" 更自然可用 "keep myself occupied"(强调主动);4) 句子逻辑需更清晰,用连词 "so" 连接原因与结果。建议将代词替换为明确名词,注意反身代词用法,保持句子逻辑顺畅。
× Definitely. I think it would help the elderly to keep them occupied so that they feel less lonely, and it also would help with their psychological health.
✓ Definitely. I think it would help the elderly keep occupied so that they feel less lonely, and it would also help their mental health.
细微问题:1) "help the elderly to keep them occupied" 中出现结构重复且代词不必要,建议去掉 "them" 或改为 "help the elderly keep occupied";2) "psychological health" 可更自然地说成 "mental health";3) 助动词顺序可调整为更自然的 "it would also help"。建议在使用 "help" 时可使用不带 to 的不定式结构(help someone do something)以更地道表达。
× For example, it can reduce the risk of dementia.
✓ For example, it can reduce the risk of dementia.
该句为一般现在时,作为普遍事实陈述使用 "can" 表示可能性,时态使用正确,无需修改。
