Example: Yes, some Chinese people do send plants as gifts, particularly during the Chinese Spring Festival. For example, small orange trees are popular because they symbolize good luck. However, I believe that plants are not the most common gift choice in China.

× I had a grass like plant at my flat years ago, but I forgot to water it for several months.

✓ I had a grass-like plant at my flat years ago, but I forgot to water it for several months.

The phrase 'grass like' should be hyphenated as 'grass-like' because it is a compound adjective describing the plant. This is a common rule in English to connect two words that function together as an adjective before a noun.

× I was supposed to water it every one or two days, but due to forgetfulness I neglected it for several months.

✓ I was supposed to water it every one or two days, but due to forgetfulness, I neglected it for several months.

A comma is needed after 'forgetfulness' to separate the introductory phrase from the main clause, improving sentence clarity and flow.

× By the time I remembered, it already turned Gray and died.

✓ By the time I remembered, it had already turned gray and died.

The past perfect tense 'had turned' is appropriate here to indicate that the plant's color change happened before the remembering. Also, 'gray' should not be capitalized as it is a common adjective.

× Yes, some Chinese people send plants as gifts, especially during events like the Chinese Spring Festival when a small sized tree with oranges are often given as a symbol of good luck.

✓ Yes, some Chinese people send plants as gifts, especially during events like the Chinese Spring Festival when a small-sized tree with oranges is often given as a symbol of good luck.

The phrase 'small sized' should be hyphenated as 'small-sized' because it is a compound adjective. Also, 'tree' is singular, so the verb should be 'is' instead of 'are' to maintain subject-verb agreement.
