× When I want to relax, I usually prefer staying at home drinking tea and watching something on TV.
✓ When I want to relax, I usually prefer to stay at home, drink tea, and watch something on TV.
The verb 'prefer' is typically followed by the infinitive form 'to stay' rather than the gerund 'staying'. Also, parallel structure requires consistent verb forms, so 'drink' and 'watch' should be in base form to match 'to stay'. Using infinitives after 'prefer' is grammatically correct and clearer.
× It really make me feel cozy and comfortable.
✓ It really makes me feel cozy and comfortable.
The subject 'It' is third person singular, so the verb should be 'makes' instead of 'make' to agree in number. Subject-verb agreement is essential for grammatical correctness.
× After a long day, I usually prefer relaxing by my own or maybe with a friend or a family member like my mom.
✓ After a long day, I usually prefer relaxing by myself or maybe with a friend or a family member like my mom.
The phrase 'by my own' is incorrect; the correct reflexive pronoun is 'by myself'. Reflexive pronouns are used when the subject and object refer to the same person.
× But often I stay with myself in my room and enjoy my time and make myself cozy and comfortable.
✓ But often I stay alone in my room, enjoy my time, and make myself cozy and comfortable.
The phrase 'stay with myself' is unnatural; 'stay alone' is the correct expression to indicate being by oneself. 'Myself' is a reflexive pronoun and is not used with 'stay' in this context.
