× Therefore I like to get bouquet of roses.
✓ Therefore I like to get a bouquet of roses.
The noun 'bouquet' is singular and requires an article 'a' before it. Without the article, the sentence is grammatically incorrect. In English, singular countable nouns must be preceded by an article or determiner.
× Yes, I know my mom loves the flower.
✓ Yes, I know my mom loves flowers.
The word 'flower' is singular, but the context implies a general love for flowers, which is plural. Using the plural form 'flowers' is appropriate here to express a general preference.
× Specifically she loves babies breath so I like to give her a bouquet of them to see her :).
✓ Specifically, she loves baby's breath, so I like to give her a bouquet of it to see her :).
The correct term is 'baby's breath' (singular noun phrase). Also, 'a bouquet of them' is incorrect because 'baby's breath' is treated as a singular mass noun here, so 'a bouquet of it' is appropriate.
× I can see many cherry blossom trees on the streets.
✓ I can see many cherry blossom trees on the street.
The phrase 'on the streets' is less common when referring to a general location; 'on the street' is more natural in this context. However, this is a minor stylistic choice rather than a strict grammar error. If considering plural streets, it is acceptable, but singular is more common.
× Whenever I see the beautiful flowers, I like to take picture of them and send it to my family and friends.
✓ Whenever I see beautiful flowers, I like to take pictures of them and send them to my family and friends.
The word 'picture' should be plural 'pictures' because it refers to multiple photos. Also, 'send it' should be 'send them' to agree with the plural 'pictures'.
× It is happy to share our beautiful flowers with them.
✓ I am happy to share beautiful flowers with them.
The pronoun 'It' is incorrectly used here. The speaker should use 'I am happy' to express personal feelings. Also, 'our beautiful flowers' is changed to 'beautiful flowers' to match the context.
× This is because most people usually like flowers, so whenever they don't know what to give something, flowers is a common choice I think.
✓ This is because most people usually like flowers, so whenever they don't know what to give, flowers are a common choice, I think.
The phrase 'flowers is' is incorrect because 'flowers' is plural and requires the plural verb 'are'. Also, 'what to give something' is awkward; 'what to give' is sufficient.
