× My parents would throw a party for me and invited my friends to come.
✓ My parents would throw a party for me and invite my friends to come.
The verb 'invited' is in the past tense, which is inconsistent with the modal verb 'would' that requires the base form of the verb. Therefore, 'invited' should be corrected to 'invite' to maintain correct verb form after 'would'.
× But when I grow up, I usually don't celebrate my birthday now.
✓ But now that I have grown up, I usually don't celebrate my birthday.
The phrase 'when I grow up' is incorrect for referring to a completed action in the past. The correct past perfect form 'have grown up' should be used to indicate the change from past to present. Also, 'now' should be placed appropriately to reflect current habits.
× As I said, my parents would throw a party for me and invited all my friends to come.
✓ As I said, my parents would throw a party for me and invite all my friends to come.
Similar to the previous correction, 'invited' should be in the base form 'invite' after the modal verb 'would' to maintain correct verb form.
× In my birthday's party, I always received a lot of presents, including the doors and books and jewelries.
✓ At my birthday party, I always received a lot of presents, including clothes, books, and jewellery.
The phrase 'In my birthday's party' is incorrect; the correct preposition is 'at' for events. Also, 'doors' is likely a typo for 'clothes', and 'jewelries' is incorrect plural; the uncountable noun 'jewellery' should be used.
× I cherish these moments as they allowed me to relax and enjoy quality time with people.
✓ I cherish these moments as they allow me to relax and enjoy quality time with people.
The verb 'allowed' is in the past tense, which conflicts with the present tense 'cherish'. To maintain tense consistency, 'allowed' should be changed to 'allow'.
