× We are friends about more than 20 years now.
✓ We have been friends for more than 20 years now.
The phrase 'We are friends about more than 20 years now' incorrectly uses 'are friends' with a time duration. The correct expression to indicate the duration of friendship is 'have been friends for'. This is a common error involving singular/plural and verb tense usage.
× Uh, we don't often. Keep in touch, but anyways, we never forget about ourselves, we always congratulate each other with our birthday parties and.
✓ Uh, we don't often keep in touch, but anyway, we never forget each other; we always congratulate each other on our birthdays.
The original sentence is fragmented and has incorrect prepositions and pronouns. 'Don't often. Keep in touch' is a sentence fragment. 'Never forget about ourselves' is incorrect; it should be 'never forget each other'. Also, 'congratulate each other with our birthday parties' should be 'congratulate each other on our birthdays'. The sentence structure and preposition use needed correction.
× Usually we go out to the coffee, sometimes we go to the mountains for hiking, or sometimes we stay in our friends house and sing karaoke songs.
✓ Usually we go out for coffee, sometimes we go to the mountains for hiking, or sometimes we stay at our friends' houses and sing karaoke songs.
The phrase 'go out to the coffee' is incorrect; the correct preposition is 'for' when referring to going out to have coffee. Also, 'stay in our friends house' should be 'stay at our friends' houses' to indicate location and possessive plural correctly.
× For example, two months ago we were in our friends house and we sang karaoke all night long.
✓ For example, two months ago we were in our friends' house and we sang karaoke all night long.
The possessive form for plural 'friends' requires an apostrophe after the 's' to indicate ownership: 'friends' house'. This is a common singular/plural possessive error.
× Usually we meet each others houses, sometimes I go to their houses when they invite, sometimes I invite them to my house for a cup of tea or sometimes I make yummy food and invite them.
✓ Usually we meet at each other's houses, sometimes I go to their houses when they invite me, sometimes I invite them to my house for a cup of tea or sometimes I make yummy food and invite them.
The phrase 'each others houses' is incorrect; it should be 'each other's houses' to show singular possessive. Also, 'when they invite' is incomplete; it should be 'when they invite me'. Preposition 'at' is needed before 'each other's houses' to indicate location.
× For example, one month ago we baked apple pie and ate it with T.
✓ For example, one month ago we baked apple pie and ate it with tea.
The letter 'T' is likely a typo or mishearing for 'tea'. This correction clarifies the meaning. No grammar problem type applies here strictly, but clarity is improved.
× Not as often as I wanted to, but or once a month we go out to the cafe or restaurants.
✓ Not as often as I want to, but once a month we go out to cafes or restaurants.
The phrase 'as often as I wanted to' mixes past tense with present context; 'want' is correct here. Also, 'or once a month' is incorrect; 'but once a month' is appropriate. 'Cafe' should be plural 'cafes' to match 'restaurants'.
× We ate. Watermelon. We drank some a fresh juice.
✓ We ate watermelon. We drank some fresh juice.
The original sentences are fragmented and contain an incorrect article 'a' before 'fresh juice'. The correct form is 'some fresh juice' without 'a'. Also, periods are incorrectly placed.
× Even if we don't keep in touch every week or every day, we always know that we are always said there for each others and when we are in each others cities we always write to each other and we always go out to hang.
✓ Even if we don't keep in touch every week or every day, we always know that we are always there for each other, and when we are in each other's cities, we always write to each other and always go out to hang out.
The phrase 'we are always said there for each others' is incorrect; 'said' should be removed and 'each others' should be 'each other' (singular). Also, 'each others cities' should be 'each other's cities' to show possession. 'Go out to hang' should be 'go out to hang out'.
× Sometimes I want to be in a group of my friends, to hang out, to have fun, play some board games.
✓ Sometimes I want to be with a group of my friends, to hang out, to have fun, and play some board games.
The preposition 'in' is incorrect when referring to being with a group of friends; 'with' is appropriate. Also, adding 'and' before the last item in the list improves sentence flow.
× For example, I invited my best friend in last year when she was in my town.
✓ For example, I invited my best friend last year when she was in my town.
The preposition 'in' before 'last year' is unnecessary and incorrect. The correct phrase is 'last year' without 'in'.
