× I usually eat snacks after work because I feel exhausted and I just need to feed myself and make myself more energetic to just continue uh, the way and uh, work on the other plans.
✓ I usually eat snacks after work because I feel exhausted and I just need to feed myself and make myself more energetic to just continue, uh, the way and, uh, work on the other plans.
The sentence contains filler words 'uh' which interrupt the flow but are acceptable in spoken language. No verb + -ing form error detected here. However, the sentence is a bit awkward and could be clearer, but no specific grammar problem from the list applies here.
× It depends on the ingredients that we use and our snacks. We can use healthy stuffs like vegetables, apples and keep it in our umm plan.
✓ It depends on the ingredients that we use in our snacks. We can use healthy stuff like vegetables and apples and keep it in our, umm, plan.
The word 'stuffs' is incorrect as 'stuff' is an uncountable noun and does not have a plural form. Using 'stuff' instead of 'stuffs' is correct. Also, 'and' should be placed before the last item in a list. The phrase 'keep it in our plan' is a bit unclear but grammatically acceptable.
× Sure, I remember about my childhood that I had a nonchalant childhood and I used to eat so many snacks.
✓ Sure, I remember my childhood; I had a carefree childhood and I used to eat so many snacks.
The phrase 'remember about my childhood' is incorrect; 'remember' does not require 'about'. Also, 'nonchalant' is not appropriate to describe childhood; 'carefree' is better. The past tense 'used to eat' is correct here.
× In the kindergarten. My mom prepared a lot of interesting snacks for me and I ate them with my friends.
✓ In kindergarten, my mom prepared a lot of interesting snacks for me, and I ate them with my friends.
The first sentence is a fragment ('In the kindergarten.'). It should be combined with the next sentence for correct sentence structure. Also, 'kindergarten' does not need 'the' before it.
× I prefer healthy snacks, but you know, sometimes we need to just break the rules and it's something that just boosts our energy but and I think a bag of chips and can really hit the spot.
✓ I prefer healthy snacks, but you know, sometimes we need to just break the rules, and it's something that just boosts our energy. I think a bag of chips can really hit the spot.
The sentence is run-on and contains unnecessary conjunctions like 'but and'. Also, 'a bag of chips and can really hit the spot' is incorrect; 'and' should be removed. Breaking the sentence into two improves clarity and grammar.
