× Yes, I have a best friend named Cody when I was in junior high school around the age of 13.
✓ Yes, I had a best friend named Cody when I was in junior high school around the age of 13.
The sentence refers to a past time ('when I was in junior high school'), so the verb 'have' should be in the past tense 'had' to maintain tense consistency.
× We have We have the same classes in school.
✓ We have the same classes in school.
The repetition 'We have We have' is redundant and should be corrected to a single 'We have'.
× In fact last month we go to the Circassian and watch the soccer club we support.
✓ In fact, last month we went to the Circassian and watched the soccer club we support.
The action happened in the past ('last month'), so the verbs 'go' and 'watch' should be in the past tense 'went' and 'watched'.
× That game was so close game we feel excited.
✓ That game was such a close game we felt excited.
The phrase 'so close game' is incorrect; it should be 'such a close game' to modify the singular noun 'game'. Also, 'feel' should be past tense 'felt' to match the past event.
× When I visit Tokyo, we met.
✓ When I visited Tokyo, we met.
The sentence refers to a past event, so 'visit' should be in the past tense 'visited' to maintain tense consistency.
× No, I often go out alone more frequently than with my friends because my friend's house, uh, far from my hometown.
✓ No, I often go out alone more frequently than with my friends because my friend's house is far from my hometown.
The sentence is in present tense, but the verb 'is' is missing after 'my friend's house', which is necessary for correct sentence structure.
× My friend's existence is so important for me because my friends makes me feel happy and relieved every day.
✓ My friend's existence is so important for me because my friends make me feel happy and relieved every day.
The subject 'my friends' is plural, so the verb should be 'make' instead of 'makes' to agree in number.
× I usually choose spending time with group of friends rather than one friend because I can share my emotions and feelings with a lot of people.
✓ I usually choose spending time with a group of friends rather than one friend because I can share my emotions and feelings with a lot of people.
The phrase 'group of friends' requires the indefinite article 'a' before it to be grammatically correct.
× I sometimes invite my friends to my home, although I want to frequently invite my friends to home.
✓ I sometimes invite my friends to my home, although I want to frequently invite my friends home.
The preposition 'to' is unnecessary before 'home' in the second clause; 'invite my friends home' is correct.
× Yes, there are some differences between now and in the past.
✓ Yes, there are some differences between now and the past.
The phrase 'between now and in the past' is awkward; 'between now and the past' is more natural and grammatically correct.
× We met outside in the past, but now we meet on restaurants.
✓ We met outside in the past, but now we meet in restaurants.
The preposition 'on' is incorrect with 'restaurants'; the correct preposition is 'in'.
× That's because. There has a unique atmosphere to library conversation with ease.
✓ That's because there is a unique atmosphere for easy conversation in the library.
The sentence has multiple issues: 'There has' should be 'There is'; 'to library conversation' is incorrect, it should be 'for easy conversation in the library' to convey the intended meaning.
