Grammar

Incorrect use of pronouns

× Yes, I plant a few roses with my grandma which is very beautiful and vibrant.

Yes, I plant a few roses with my grandma which are very beautiful and vibrant.

The pronoun 'which' refers to 'a few roses', which is plural, so the verb should be 'are' instead of 'is' to agree in number.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× Every time I go home I definitely will look at it first because I just want to umm, take care of it.

Every time I go home I definitely will look at them first because I just want to umm, take care of them.

The pronoun 'it' is singular but refers to 'a few roses', which is plural, so 'them' should be used for correct pronoun agreement.

Past tense issue

× When I was young I planted a tomato, but I was impatient at that time so I kept forgetting water.

When I was young I planted a tomato, but I was impatient at that time so I kept forgetting to water it.

The verb 'forgetting' needs the infinitive form 'to water' to correctly express the action, and 'water' as a noun is incorrect here; 'to water it' is the correct verb phrase.

Singular and plural issue

× Then finally they did.

Then finally it did.

The pronoun 'they' is plural but refers to 'a tomato', which is singular, so 'it' should be used for correct pronoun agreement.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× I thought I definitely didn't have a green.

I thought I definitely didn't have a green thumb.

The phrase 'have a green' is incomplete and unclear; the correct idiom is 'have a green thumb', meaning to be good at gardening.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× I do know a few things about planting like watering regularly, losing their soil, and keeping them from pests.

I do know a few things about planting like watering regularly, loosening their soil, and keeping them from pests.

The word 'losing' is incorrect here; the correct verb is 'loosening' when referring to soil to allow air and water to penetrate.

Singular and plural issue

× Yes, uh, flowers can be count as plants.

Yes, uh, flowers can be counted as plants.

The verb form 'count' is incorrect here; the passive form 'counted' is needed after 'can be'.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× So there are so many people to send flowers when they're a big ocane or festival like the valeting festival.

So there are so many people who send flowers when there's a big occasion or festival like the Valentine's festival.

The phrase 'to send' is incorrect; 'who send' is appropriate to describe people performing an action. Also, 'ocane' is a misspelling of 'occasion', and 'valeting' should be 'Valentine's'.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× So many people they will send the roses at that time to convey their love and appreciate.

So many people will send roses at that time to convey their love and appreciation.

The pronoun 'they' is redundant after 'so many people'. Also, 'appreciate' should be the noun 'appreciation' to match 'love'.
