Grammar

Incorrect use of prepositions

× Whenever I celebrate, I should give reference to small gather of only my family members and we cut the cake and enjoy the special dinner with my family and sometimes my family members play a music game on that day.

Whenever I celebrate, I should refer to a small gathering of only my family members, and we cut the cake and enjoy a special dinner with my family, and sometimes my family members play a music game on that day.

The phrase 'give reference to' is incorrect; the correct expression is 'refer to'. Also, 'small gather' should be 'small gathering' as 'gather' is a verb, not a noun. The preposition 'of' is appropriate here to indicate the group involved.

Article errors

× Whenever I celebrate, I should give reference to small gather of only my family members and we cut the cake and enjoy the special dinner with my family and sometimes my family members play a music game on that day.

Whenever I celebrate, I should refer to a small gathering of only my family members, and we cut the cake and enjoy a special dinner with my family, and sometimes my family members play a music game on that day.

The sentence is missing the indefinite article 'a' before 'small gathering' and 'special dinner' because these are singular countable nouns that require an article.

Singular and plural issue

× Whenever I celebrate, I should give reference to small gather of only my family members and we cut the cake and enjoy the special dinner with my family and sometimes my family members play a music game on that day.

Whenever I celebrate, I should refer to a small gathering of only my family members, and we cut the cake and enjoy a special dinner with my family, and sometimes my family members play a music game on that day.

The word 'gather' is incorrectly used as a noun; the correct plural noun form is 'gathering' to indicate an event or assembly.

Past tense issue

× When I was drunk that time there is no special for me to buy my family did by my family.

When I was young, there was nothing special for me; my family did not buy anything for me.

The phrase 'was drunk' is incorrect in this context; it should be 'was young'. Also, 'there is no special' should be 'there was nothing special' to match past tense. The sentence structure is confusing and needs rephrasing for clarity and correct past tense usage.

Singular and plural issue

× But I'm talking about the school that a uniforms is the compulsory for the student.

But I'm talking about the school where uniforms are compulsory for students.

'A uniforms' is incorrect because 'uniforms' is plural and should not have the article 'a'. Also, 'is' should be 'are' to agree with the plural subject 'uniforms'. 'The student' should be plural 'students' to generalize the statement.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× But they gave me one chance to wear their special dress on the birthday and we we also can't.

But they gave me one chance to wear their special dress on my birthday, and we also couldn't.

The pronoun 'their' is vague; it should be clarified or replaced with 'a special dress'. The phrase 'we we also can't' is grammatically incorrect and unclear; it should be 'we also couldn't' to indicate past inability.

Modal verb usage

× But they gave me one chance to wear their special dress on the birthday and we we also can't.

But they gave me one chance to wear their special dress on my birthday, and we also couldn't.

The modal verb 'can't' is present tense and does not fit the past context; it should be changed to 'couldn't' to indicate past inability.

Incorrect use of articles

× I think it's not important for me to celebrate a birthday every year.

I think it's not important for me to celebrate my birthday every year.

The article 'a' is incorrect here because the speaker refers to their own birthday, so the possessive pronoun 'my' should be used instead.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× I think, uh, with the birthdays or is, is going and we become older and uh, because I don't like to organize any party.

I think, uh, as the birthdays go by and we become older, uh, because I don't like to organize any party.

The phrase 'with the birthdays or is, is going' is incorrect and unclear. The correct preposition and phrase is 'as the birthdays go by' to indicate the passage of time.

Incorrect use of quantifiers

× It's very similar difficulties for me to attend too many guests.

It's very difficult for me to attend to too many guests.

The phrase 'very similar difficulties' is incorrect; it should be 'very difficult'. Also, 'attend too many guests' is incorrect; the correct phrase is 'attend to too many guests'.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× Uh I think so. Uh Chinese people like to celebrate birthday. Uh I don't know exact about China but I see in movies and read in books they like to celebrate their birthday with their elder ones and give blessing from them and so get some present and cut the cake on special day.

Uh, I think so. Uh, Chinese people like to celebrate birthdays. Uh, I don't know exactly about China, but I see in movies and read in books that they like to celebrate their birthdays with their elders, receive blessings from them, get some presents, and cut the cake on special days.

The sentence has multiple preposition errors: 'exact' should be 'exactly'; 'with their elder ones' should be 'with their elders'; 'give blessing from them' should be 'receive blessings from them'; 'so get some present' should be 'get some presents'; 'on special day' should be 'on special days'.
