× who is one of the most important person in my life
✓ who is one of the most important people in my life
The noun 'person' must be plural 'people' because the phrase 'one of the' refers to a member of a group; the noun after 'of the' should be plural. To improve, remember that 'one of the' + plural noun indicates a single item from a larger group: 'one of the people'.
× I really like chatting with him because he's very supportive and he always stands by my side
✓ I really like chatting with him because he is very supportive and always stands by my side
This sentence has redundant contractions and pronouns which are not grammatical errors per se but smoothing the verb forms improves clarity. Use consistent forms: 'he is' or 'he's' and avoid repeating the subject when unnecessary. Suggestion: '...because he is very supportive and always stands by my side.'
× We just about everything really, but especially we chat about sports and politics and sometimes we like chatting about relationships
✓ We chat about just about everything really, but especially about sports and politics, and sometimes we talk about relationships
The original word order 'We just about everything really' is incorrect. Place the verb 'chat' before the objects and include necessary prepositions. Also use 'talk about' or 'chat about' consistently. Improve by using clear subject-verb-object order and adding commas for clarity.
× I feel more comfort when I can chat with only one person because I can be focused on that chatting and not in a lot of chat at the same moment
✓ I feel more comfortable when I can chat with only one person because I can focus on that conversation and not be in a lot of chats at the same time
Use the adjective 'comfortable' rather than the noun 'comfort' after 'feel'. Use 'focus on' instead of 'be focused on' for a more natural active structure. 'At the same moment' should be 'at the same time'. Also 'a lot of chat' should be 'a lot of chats' or 'many conversations'.
× So I prefer chatting with one people instead of a group of bunch people
✓ So I prefer chatting with one person instead of a bunch of people
'One people' is wrong; use singular 'person'. 'Group of bunch people' is ungrammatical—use 'a bunch of people' or 'a group of people'. Keep number agreement: 'one person' vs 'people'.
× I prefer to communicate face to face
✓ I prefer to communicate face-to-face
When used as an adverbial phrase modifying 'communicate', 'face-to-face' is commonly hyphenated to show the compound expression. Keep consistent formatting: 'face-to-face' is standard in written English.
× In fact, I don't have social medias like Instagram and Twitter
✓ In fact, I don't have social media accounts like Instagram and Twitter
'Social media' is an uncountable noun phrase, not 'social medias'. Use 'social media accounts' or simply 'social media' to refer to the platforms. Also add 'accounts' to clarify individual profiles.
× I like, uh, texting and then, uh, meet face to face
✓ I like texting and then meeting face to face
Maintain parallel structure: after 'I like' use the gerund form for activities: 'texting' and 'meeting'. Using the base verb 'meet' breaks parallelism. Also remove filler 'uh' in written corrections.
× No I don't. I am the kind of person that don't like confront others so I tend to avoid confrontation and arguing in order to have peaceful
✓ No, I don't. I am the kind of person who doesn't like to confront others, so I tend to avoid confrontation and arguing in order to have peace
Use 'who' for people rather than 'that'. Subject-verb agreement: 'person ... doesn't like' (not 'don't'). Use infinitive 'to confront' after 'like' when referring to an action. Replace 'have peaceful' with the noun 'have peace' or 'maintain peace'. Also add commas for clarity.
