Puzzles— Part 1 Báo cáo

× I recall that my father and I hung out with each other and do jigsaw puzzles and also crossword puzzle.

✓ I recall that my father and I hung out with each other and did jigsaw puzzles and also crossword puzzles.

The sentence mixes past and present tense verbs and uses singular 'crossword puzzle' instead of plural 'crossword puzzles' to match 'jigsaw puzzles'. The verb 'do' should be in past tense 'did' to agree with 'hung out'. Also, 'crossword puzzle' should be plural to be consistent with 'jigsaw puzzles'.

× I didn't like to do sudoku.

✓ I didn't like doing sudoku.

After 'didn't like', the verb should be in the '-ing' form rather than the infinitive. Therefore, 'to do' should be corrected to 'doing'.

× Actually, I prefer to do puzzle when I feel bored because when we go on a vacation or to leave, we have lots of activities.

✓ Actually, I prefer to do puzzles when I feel bored because when we go on a vacation or leave, we have lots of activities.

The word 'puzzle' should be plural 'puzzles' to match the context of doing multiple puzzles. Also, 'to leave' is incorrect here; it should be 'leave' without 'to' as it follows 'go on a vacation or'. This addresses plural noun usage and preposition misuse.

× Actually, I prefer to do puzzle when I feel bored because when we go on a vacation or to leave, we have lots of activities.

✓ Actually, I prefer to do puzzles when I feel bored because when we go on a vacation or leave, we have lots of activities.

The phrase 'to leave' is incorrect; after 'or' in this context, the base verb 'leave' should be used without 'to'. This is a preposition misuse.

× So it's not reasonable for me to do puzzle when I get bored.

✓ So it's not reasonable for me to do puzzles when I get bored.

The noun 'puzzle' should be plural 'puzzles' to indicate the general activity of doing puzzles, not just one puzzle.

× So I prefer to do puzzles.

✓ So I prefer to do puzzles.

This sentence is correct; no change needed.

× And since I'm not so good at mathematics, I don't prefer to use a number puzzle.

✓ And since I'm not so good at mathematics, I don't prefer to do number puzzles.

The phrase 'use a number puzzle' is unnatural; 'do number puzzles' is the correct collocation. Also, 'number puzzle' should be plural 'number puzzles' to match the general activity.

× And word puzzle is really enjoyable.

✓ And word puzzles are really enjoyable.

'Word puzzle' should be plural 'word puzzles' to refer to the general activity, and the verb should be plural 'are' to agree with the plural subject.

× And I like to do them when I feel exhausted because it improves my mood and recharges my batteries.

✓ And I like to do them when I feel exhausted because they improve my mood and recharge my batteries.

The pronoun 'it' refers to 'them' (puzzles), which is plural, so it should be 'they' and the verbs should be plural 'improve' and 'recharge' to agree with the plural subject.

× Yes, definitely a surface service.

✓ Yes, definitely a useful service.

The phrase 'a surface service' is unclear and likely a mishearing or misstatement. 'A useful service' fits the context better. This is a sentence structure and word choice error.

× Show that when they do puzzles it improves their brain function and prevents lots of diseases like Alzheimer and depression and the like.

✓ It shows that when they do puzzles, it improves their brain function and prevents many diseases like Alzheimer's and depression.

The sentence is missing a subject at the start; 'Show that' is incorrect. It should be 'It shows that'. Also, 'lots of diseases' is better as 'many diseases', and 'Alzheimer' should be 'Alzheimer's' to be correct. The phrase 'and the like' is unnecessary and informal here.
