× Definitely I keep plants at home for good appearance and as well As for based on the aesthetic of the building.
✓ Definitely I keep plants at home for good appearance as well as based on the aesthetic of the building.
The phrase 'and as well As for based on' is incorrect and redundant. The correct conjunction is 'as well as' to connect reasons properly. Use 'as well as' without 'and' or 'for' to improve sentence clarity.
× And also we have many varieties of plants in the garden where my mother take care of them and we have flowers, fruits and vegetables in our garden.
✓ And also we have many varieties of plants in the garden where my mother takes care of them, and we have flowers, fruits, and vegetables in our garden.
The verb 'take' does not agree with the singular subject 'my mother'. It should be 'takes'. Also, commas are added for clarity in the list of items.
× When I was young, I used to grow a Tulsi plant at home because it is considered very spiritual in Hindu culture.
✓ When I was young, I used to grow a Tulsi plant at home because it is considered very spiritual in Hindu culture.
No correction needed here as 'a Tulsi plant' is singular and correctly used.
× Many Hindu people families keep Tulsi plants in front of their house for spiritual reason and to bring positive energy.
✓ Many Hindu families keep Tulsi plants in front of their houses for spiritual reasons and to bring positive energy.
The phrase 'people families' is incorrect; 'families' alone suffices. 'House' should be plural 'houses' to match 'families'. 'Reason' should be plural 'reasons' as multiple reasons are implied.
× I enjoy taking care of plants as it connect me.
✓ I enjoy taking care of plants as it connects me.
The verb 'connect' should be in third person singular form 'connects' to agree with the singular subject 'it'.
× He thought me when I was young how to grow plants by using fertilizer and waste materials from the kitchen can also be used in plants growth.
✓ He taught me when I was young how to grow plants by using fertilizer, and waste materials from the kitchen can also be used to help plant growth.
The verb 'thought' is incorrect; the correct past tense of 'teach' is 'taught'. Also, 'plants growth' should be 'plant growth' and the sentence is restructured for clarity.
× By that I started engaging the plant with my own hand.
✓ By that, I started engaging with the plants with my own hands.
'Engaging the plant' is awkward; 'engaging with the plants' is better. 'Hand' should be plural 'hands' as both hands are usually used.
× Is Chinese people often send plants and give because they symbolize good luck and prosperity.
✓ Do Chinese people often send plants as gifts because they symbolize good luck and prosperity?
The sentence structure is incorrect. The correct question form is 'Do Chinese people often send plants as gifts...'. Also, 'give' is unnecessary and 'as gifts' clarifies the meaning.
× It is common practice not only in China but also in India where clever plans shows respect and helps strength relationship between people.
✓ It is common practice not only in China but also in India where giving plants shows respect and helps strengthen relationships between people.
'Clever plans' is incorrect; it should be 'giving plants'. 'Shows' should agree with singular subject 'giving plants'. 'Strength' should be 'strengthen' (verb), and 'relationship' should be plural 'relationships'.
× Such gifts are accepted for the beauty and.
✓ Such gifts are accepted for their beauty and significance.
The sentence is incomplete and lacks an object after 'and'. Adding 'significance' completes the thought and improves sentence structure.
