× I usually wake up at the early morning and take a bath and walk to the court and at my birthday there is a Christmas so I used to go on a church along with my friends and just to just pray for Jesus and return back to the home and celebrate birthday with my family at night.
✓ I usually wake up early in the morning and take a bath and walk to the court. On my birthday, there is Christmas, so I used to go to church along with my friends to pray for Jesus and then return home to celebrate my birthday with my family at night.
The phrase 'at the early morning' is incorrect; it should be 'early in the morning' because 'morning' is a time of day and does not require 'the' here. Also, 'go on a church' is incorrect; the correct preposition is 'go to church'. 'Return back to the home' is redundant; 'return home' suffices. 'Celebrate birthday' needs a possessive pronoun: 'celebrate my birthday'. These corrections improve article and preposition usage and sentence clarity.
× at my birthday there is a Christmas so I used to go on a church along with my friends and just to just pray for Jesus and return back to the home and celebrate birthday with my family at night.
✓ On my birthday, which is Christmas, I used to go to church with my friends to pray for Jesus and then return home to celebrate my birthday with my family at night.
The phrase 'used to go on a church' is incorrect; the correct modal verb phrase is 'used to go to church'. Also, 'just to just pray' is redundant; 'to pray' is sufficient. Modal verb 'used to' indicates past habitual action and should be followed by the base verb with correct preposition.
× When I was young I used to buy as I said that there is a Christmas so I have to go church anyhow since from my childhood though I'm not Christian also and I buy a bunch of chocolates and keep it in my bag and go to the school and distribute along with all the cheerleaders, my friends, teacher and celebrate body at night.
✓ When I was young, I used to buy chocolates because it was Christmas, so I had to go to church. Although I am not Christian, since my childhood, I bought a bunch of chocolates, kept them in my bag, went to school, and distributed them among all the cheerleaders, my friends, and teachers, and celebrated my birthday at night.
The sentence mixes present and past tenses incorrectly. 'There is a Christmas' should be 'it was Christmas' to match past tense. 'I have to go church' should be 'I had to go to church' for past obligation. 'I buy' should be 'I bought' to maintain past tense consistency. 'Keep it' should be 'kept them' to agree with plural 'chocolates'. 'Go to the school' should be 'went to school' without 'the'. 'Celebrate body' is a typo and should be 'celebrate my birthday'. These corrections ensure proper past tense usage and subject-verb agreement.
× I have to go church anyhow since from my childhood though I'm not Christian also and I buy a bunch of chocolates and keep it in my bag and go to the school and distribute along with all the cheerleaders, my friends, teacher and celebrate body at night.
✓ I had to go to church anyhow since my childhood, though I'm not Christian, and I bought a bunch of chocolates, kept them in my bag, went to school, and distributed them among all the cheerleaders, my friends, and teachers, and celebrated my birthday at night.
The phrase 'go church' is missing the preposition 'to'. 'Distribute along with' is incorrect; the correct phrase is 'distribute among' or 'distribute to'. 'Go to the school' is better as 'go to school' unless referring to a specific school. Correct preposition use clarifies meaning and improves sentence flow.
× I buy a bunch of chocolates and keep it in my bag and go to the school and distribute along with all the cheerleaders, my friends, teacher and celebrate body at night.
✓ I bought a bunch of chocolates and kept them in my bag, went to school, and distributed them among all the cheerleaders, my friends, and teachers, and celebrated my birthday at night.
'A bunch of chocolates' is plural, so the pronoun should be 'them' instead of 'it'. Also, 'teacher' should be plural 'teachers' to match the list. 'Celebrate body' is a typo and should be 'celebrate my birthday'. Correct pronoun agreement is essential for clarity.
× No, I don't think that it's important to celebrate a birthday, but it's important to go to the church and pray to the Jesus because it's a Christmas Day, as I said you, and then just go to the one orphanage home and distribute some help to them if you need it.
✓ No, I don't think it's important to celebrate a birthday, but it's important to go to church and pray to Jesus because it's Christmas Day, as I told you, and then just go to an orphanage home and distribute some help to them if they need it.
'Go to the church' should be 'go to church' when referring to church in general. 'Pray to the Jesus' is incorrect; 'Jesus' does not take 'the'. 'A Christmas Day' should be 'Christmas Day' without an article. 'The one orphanage home' should be 'an orphanage home' as it is indefinite. 'As I said you' should be 'as I told you'. 'If you need it' should be 'if they need it' to refer to the orphanage children. These corrections fix article and pronoun usage.
× No, I don't think that it's important to celebrate a birthday, but it's important to go to the church and pray to the Jesus because it's a Christmas Day, as I said you, and then just go to the one orphanage home and distribute some help to them if you need it.
✓ No, I don't think it's important to celebrate a birthday, but it's important to go to church and pray to Jesus because it's Christmas Day, as I told you, and then just go to an orphanage home and distribute some help to them if they need it.
The pronoun 'you' in 'as I said you' is incorrect; it should be 'as I told you'. Also, 'if you need it' is incorrect because the subject is the orphanage children, so it should be 'if they need it'. Correct pronoun use ensures the sentence refers to the right subjects.
× I really am not really fascinated about China. So I don't think like maybe it's important to celebrate a Chinese president birthday in China.
✓ I am really not fascinated by China, so I don't think it's important to celebrate the Chinese president's birthday in China.
The phrase 'fascinated about' is incorrect; the correct preposition is 'fascinated by'. 'Celebrate a Chinese president birthday' should be 'celebrate the Chinese president's birthday' to show possession. These corrections improve preposition and possessive pronoun usage.
