× So I usually buy a cake for my birthday and invited some of my friends to celebrate with me.

✓ So I usually buy a cake for my birthday and invite some of my friends to celebrate with me.

The verb 'invited' is in the past tense, but the sentence is describing a habitual action in the present, so the verb should be in the base form 'invite' to match the present tense context.

× My parents valued my birthday, so they always bought a cake for me and invited some relatives or friends, I mean my friends, to celebrate with me.

✓ My parents valued my birthday, so they always bought a cake for me and invited some relatives or friends, I mean my friends, to celebrate with me.

This sentence is correct in past tense as it describes past events, so no correction is needed.

× They also gave me birthday gifts.

✓ They also gave me birthday gifts.

This sentence correctly uses past tense to describe past events, so no correction is needed.

× I think the birthday is a very important date for a person because it reminds you to think about uh, when you was born in this world and uh, uh, it helps you to, to mark your life.

✓ I think the birthday is a very important date for a person because it reminds you to think about uh, when you were born in this world and uh, uh, it helps you to, to mark your life.

The pronoun 'you' requires the verb 'were' in past tense, not 'was'. 'You' always pairs with 'were' in past tense regardless of singular or plural.

× I think no one's birthday would be more important than my parents birthdays because they are the persons I love most so I think nothing important than their birthday.

✓ I think no one's birthday would be more important than my parents' birthdays because they are the people I love most so I think nothing is more important than their birthdays.

The word 'parents' is plural and needs an apostrophe to show possession: 'parents''. Also, 'persons' is less common and 'people' is preferred. The phrase 'nothing important than' is incorrect; it should be 'nothing is more important than'. Additionally, 'birthday' should be plural 'birthdays' to match 'parents'.
