× Not frequent actually, but when I was a child I used to go over there.
✓ Not frequently, actually, but when I was a child, I used to go over there.
The adverb 'frequent' is incorrectly used; the correct adverb form is 'frequently' to modify the verb. Also, a comma is needed after 'actually' and 'child' for clarity.
× I used to go over there.
✓ I used to go there.
The preposition 'over' is unnecessary in this context; 'go there' is the correct and natural expression.
× there are various tasks that I perform over there
✓ there are various tasks that I perform there
The preposition 'over' is unnecessary here; 'there' suffices to indicate location.
× to print some kind of papers
✓ to print some kinds of paper
'Paper' is an uncountable noun; 'papers' is countable but usually refers to documents. 'Some kinds of paper' is more appropriate when referring to types of paper.
× if I want to check something online, then definitely I go to explore some kind of websites
✓ if I want to check something online, then definitely I go to explore some kinds of websites
'Some kind of websites' is incorrect because 'website' is countable plural here; 'some kinds of websites' is correct.
× read so many books that are free over there
✓ read many books that are free there
'So many' is informal and less appropriate here; 'many' is more suitable. Also, 'over there' should be 'there'.
× I used to go over there to complete my school task
✓ I used to go there to complete my school tasks
'Over' is unnecessary; 'there' is sufficient. Also, 'task' should be plural 'tasks' to match the context.
× to socialize with the more students over there
✓ to socialize with more students there
'The more students' is incorrect; 'more students' without 'the' is correct. Also, 'over there' should be 'there'.
× I have not any idea about that
✓ I do not have any idea about that
The phrase 'have not any idea' is incorrect; the correct form is 'do not have any idea'.
