× Umm, I really liked to sing, but I liked to sing more when I was younger because, uh, at that time I felt confident in my voice, but now I lose confidence in my voice.
✓ Umm, I really liked to sing, but I liked singing more when I was younger because at that time I felt confident in my voice, but now I have lost confidence in my voice.
The sentence mixes past and present incorrectly. 'Liked to sing' is acceptable but 'liked singing' is more natural for habitual past preference. 'Now I lose confidence' is incorrect present simple for a current state that changed from past; use present perfect 'have lost' to show change from past to present. Suggestion: use consistent tense and prefer 'liked singing' for past habits. Grammar problem type ID: 5
× I've never learned how to sing but I grow very fond of singing when I was younger so I think if I continue that hobbies I might become a singer when I'm older.
✓ I've never learned how to sing, but I grew very fond of singing when I was younger, so I think if I continue that hobby I might become a singer when I'm older.
Multiple issues: 'grow' should be past 'grew' to match 'when I was younger' (tense consistency). 'Continue that hobbies' is ungrammatical: 'hobbies' is plural but 'that' is singular; use 'that hobby' or 'those hobbies'. Also maintain verb + -ing: 'fond of singing' is correct. Suggestion: use past tense 'grew' for past time references and match singular/plural for nouns. Grammar problem type ID: 8
× When I was younger I'm very confident so I want to sing to as many people as possible, but now I only want to sing to my friends, especially when we go to karaoke, because only that then I really enjoy myself and feel comfortable.
✓ When I was younger I was very confident, so I wanted to sing to as many people as possible, but now I only want to sing for my friends, especially when we go to karaoke, because only then do I really enjoy myself and feel comfortable.
Tense inconsistency: 'When I was younger I'm very confident' mixes past time marker with present 'I'm'; change to past 'I was' and 'wanted'. Preposition: 'sing to people' is acceptable, but 'sing for my friends' is more natural here. Phrase 'only that then' is incorrect; use 'only then'. Also invert auxiliary for emphasis 'do I really enjoy'. Suggestion: keep tenses consistent and choose natural prepositions. Grammar problem type ID: 12
× Uh, yes, I do think singing can bring happiness to people. Happiness is, uh, something that you can forget till you make it. So singing, umm, can make you, uh, persuade yourself that you're really enjoying life and bring the positivity into your life.
✓ Uh, yes, I do think singing can bring happiness to people. Happiness is something you can create rather than forget. So singing can help persuade you that you're really enjoying life and bring positivity into your life.
'Forget till you make it' is unclear and mixes idioms; 'create rather than forget' conveys intended meaning. 'Can make you persuade yourself' is ungrammatical; use 'can help persuade you' or 'can persuade you'. 'Bring the positivity' should be 'bring positivity' (no article). Suggestion: use clear verbs and idioms and avoid unnecessary filler words to make meaning precise. Grammar problem type ID: 6
