× I did 1000 piece of puzzles in only one week
✓ I did 1000 pieces of puzzles in only one week
The word 'piece' should be plural 'pieces' because it refers to multiple puzzle parts. When counting items, the noun should be plural if the quantity is more than one.
× Yes I do. I really like to do puzzles when I was young
✓ Yes I did. I really liked to do puzzles when I was young
The question is about past activity ('in your childhood'), so the response should be in past tense. 'Do' and 'like' should be changed to 'did' and 'liked' to match the past time frame.
× I did 1000 piece of puzzles in only one week
✓ I did 1000 pieces of puzzles in only one week
The noun 'piece' must be plural 'pieces' when referring to multiple items, especially with a number like 1000.
× This is my one of the memories that I have about doing puzzles when I was young
✓ This is one of my memories about doing puzzles when I was young
The phrase 'my one of the memories' is incorrect. The correct structure is 'one of my memories' to indicate a single memory among many.
× I'm doing puzzles when I feel bored
✓ I do puzzles when I feel bored
The present continuous 'I'm doing' is incorrect here because the sentence describes a habitual action, which requires the simple present tense 'I do'.
× Because doing puzzles it makes my time worthy, not wasting my time by doing nothing
✓ Because doing puzzles makes my time worthwhile, not wasting it by doing nothing
The phrase 'doing puzzles it makes' is redundant; 'it' should be removed. Also, 'worthy' is incorrect here; 'worthwhile' is the correct adjective. The phrase 'not wasting my time by doing nothing' is better as 'not wasting it by doing nothing' to avoid repetition.
× So I prefer to do puzzles instead of wasting my time by doing nothing
✓ So I prefer to do puzzles instead of wasting my time doing nothing
The phrase 'wasting my time by doing nothing' is awkward; 'wasting my time doing nothing' is more natural and grammatically correct.
× I prefer to do word puzzles in my mobile because it's online
✓ I prefer to do word puzzles on my mobile because it's online
The correct preposition for devices like 'mobile' is 'on' not 'in'. We say 'on my mobile'.
× But on the other hand I really like doing the number puzzles on the paper because there is a paper thing that you can magazine thing that you can do
✓ But on the other hand, I really like doing number puzzles on paper because there are paper magazines that you can use
The sentence is unclear and ungrammatical. 'The number puzzles' should be 'number puzzles' without 'the'. 'On the paper' should be 'on paper'. The phrase 'there is a paper thing that you can magazine thing that you can do' is confusing; it should be 'there are paper magazines that you can use'.
× Yes, I do think that the doing puzzles, it's very good for old people because it's reduced to reduce stress
✓ Yes, I do think that doing puzzles is very good for old people because it helps reduce stress
The phrase 'it's reduced to reduce stress' is incorrect. The correct expression is 'it helps reduce stress'. Also, 'the doing puzzles' should be 'doing puzzles' without 'the'.
× and it makes to improve your memories and and don't get the Alzheimer's
✓ and it helps improve your memory and prevents Alzheimer's
The phrase 'it makes to improve your memories' is incorrect; 'it helps improve your memory' is correct. 'Memories' should be singular 'memory' in this context. Also, 'and don't get the Alzheimer's' is ungrammatical; it should be 'and prevents Alzheimer's'.
