× Breakfast is the favorite meal of the day of mine.
✓ Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day.
The phrase 'of mine' is incorrectly used here. The correct possessive adjective 'my' should be used before 'favorite meal'. Also, the order of words should be 'my favorite meal' rather than 'the favorite meal of mine'. This improves clarity and grammatical correctness.
× I usually prefer a nice, good, healthy and a bit heavy breakfast.
✓ I usually prefer a nice, good, healthy, and slightly heavy breakfast.
The phrase 'a bit heavy' is informal and awkward in this context. 'Slightly heavy' is a better adjective phrase to describe the breakfast. Also, a comma is needed before 'and' in a list of adjectives for clarity.
× I include eggs, milk, cereals, fruits, olives, etcetera in my breakfast.
✓ I include eggs, milk, cereals, fruits, olives, etcetera, in my breakfast.
A comma is needed after 'etcetera' to separate it properly in the sentence. However, the preposition 'in' is correctly used here, so no change needed for preposition.
× Yes, I think breakfast is one of the most important meal of the day because it boosts our energy levels as well as it is a good start of the day having a good plate of a breakfast which makes us more healthy and think more precisely and work more efficiently.
✓ Yes, I think breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day because it boosts our energy levels and is a good start to the day. Having a good plate of breakfast makes us healthier, helps us think more precisely, and work more efficiently.
The phrase 'one of the most important meal' should be 'one of the most important meals' because 'one of' requires a plural noun. Also, 'more healthy' should be 'healthier' as the comparative form of 'healthy'. The sentence is long and complex; breaking it into two sentences improves clarity and correctness.
× ...it is a good start of the day having a good plate of a breakfast...
✓ ...it is a good start to the day having a good plate of breakfast...
The correct preposition is 'to' in the phrase 'a good start to the day' rather than 'of'. Also, 'a breakfast' is incorrect; 'breakfast' is an uncountable noun here and does not need an article.
× Well, the changes are actually common because when I was a child my mum used to make me a breakfast so I was having a good plate of a breakfast every day and also my school timing was like afternoon from 12:00 to 5:00.
✓ Well, the changes are actually common because when I was a child my mum used to make me breakfast, so I had a good plate of breakfast every day. Also, my school timing was in the afternoon from 12:00 to 5:00.
'A breakfast' is incorrect; 'breakfast' is uncountable and does not need an article. 'I was having' is awkward here; simple past 'I had' is better. Also, 'school timing was like afternoon' is incorrect; it should be 'school timing was in the afternoon'.
× ...my school timing was like afternoon from 12:00 to 5:00.
✓ ...my school timing was in the afternoon from 12:00 to 5:00.
The preposition 'in' is correct to indicate time periods like 'in the afternoon'. 'Like' is incorrect here as it suggests similarity rather than specifying time.
× But nowadays I have a very busy schedule because of which sometimes my breakfast is compromised.
✓ But nowadays I have a very busy schedule, because of which sometimes my breakfast is compromised.
No singular/plural error here, but a comma is needed before 'because' to separate clauses properly.
× One of the most important reason is to have a good breakfast every day so that it does not compromise.
✓ One of the most important reasons is to have a good breakfast every day so that it is not compromised.
'Reason' should be plural 'reasons' because of 'one of the'. Also, 'it does not compromise' is incorrect; the breakfast is compromised, so passive voice 'it is not compromised' is correct.
× Because of my busy schedule, I would like to make some changes like waking up early in the morning, having a good meal, making by myself and enjoy my breakfast meal every day is my.
✓ Because of my busy schedule, I would like to make some changes like waking up early in the morning, having a good meal, making it by myself, and enjoying my breakfast every day.
The phrase 'making by myself' is incomplete; it should be 'making it by myself'. Also, 'enjoy my breakfast meal every day is my' is incomplete and ungrammatical; it should be 'and enjoying my breakfast every day'. The sentence structure is corrected for clarity and completeness.
