× When was keyed that time I was really enthusiastic to solve puzzles, especially what puzzle it is my favorite.
✓ At that time, I was really enthusiastic about solving puzzles, especially word puzzles, which are my favorite.
The original sentence has incorrect word order and unclear phrasing. 'When was keyed that time' is not a correct expression. The sentence should start with a clear time reference, followed by the subject and verb. Also, 'what puzzle it is my favorite' is incorrect; it should be 'which are my favorite' to refer to word puzzles. This correction improves clarity and grammatical structure.
× Still, whenever I free, I try to do this activity.
✓ Still, whenever I am free, I try to do this activity.
The phrase 'whenever I free' is missing the verb 'am' to form the present tense. The correct expression is 'whenever I am free' to indicate availability. This is a common error in using the verb 'to be' with time expressions.
× It is really fascinated for me actually.
✓ It is really fascinating for me, actually.
The adjective 'fascinated' describes a feeling experienced by a person, but here the activity causes the feeling, so the correct adjective is 'fascinating'. Using 'fascinating' correctly describes the activity as interesting or captivating.
× I specially try to solve puzzle in journey.
✓ I especially try to solve puzzles during journeys.
'Specially' is incorrect here; the correct adverb is 'especially'. Also, 'puzzle' should be plural 'puzzles' because it refers to the activity in general. 'In journey' is incorrect; the correct preposition is 'during journeys' to indicate the time when the activity happens.
× Uh, when I go long distance journey that time I prefer to do this activity.
✓ When I go on a long-distance journey, I prefer to do this activity.
The phrase 'go long distance journey' is missing the preposition 'on' and the article 'a'. The corrected sentence uses 'go on a long-distance journey' which is the correct expression. Also, 'that time' is unnecessary and removed for clarity.
× It is really helped me to increase my word knowledge.
✓ It really helps me to increase my word knowledge.
'Is really helped me' is incorrect because 'helped' is past tense and 'is' is present tense. The correct form is 'helps' to indicate present tense. Also, 'word knowledge' is better expressed as 'vocabulary' but kept as is for minimal correction.
× As I mentioned earlier, I prefer to solve a word puzzle, so it boosts my vocabulary level.
✓ As I mentioned earlier, I prefer to solve word puzzles, so it boosts my vocabulary level.
Using 'a word puzzle' suggests a single puzzle, but the context implies the activity in general, so plural 'word puzzles' is more appropriate. This correction aligns with general statements about preferences.
× I've already mentioned that I like to play word puzzle, uh, because the number puzzle is really difficult for me.
✓ I've already mentioned that I like to play word puzzles because number puzzles are really difficult for me.
'Word puzzle' and 'number puzzle' should be plural to refer to the types of puzzles generally. Also, 'uh' is removed for clarity. The verb 'is' is changed to 'are' to agree with the plural subject 'number puzzles'.
× So solve I'm really used to do this type of activity where I feel like comfortable.
✓ So, I am really used to doing this type of activity where I feel comfortable.
The original sentence has incorrect word order and verb forms. 'So solve I'm' is incorrect; it should be 'So, I am'. 'Used to do' should be 'used to doing' to express habitual action. 'Feel like comfortable' is incorrect; it should be 'feel comfortable'.
× So it, I think it helped me to develop my vocabulary levels.
✓ So, I think it helps me to develop my vocabulary levels.
The phrase 'So it, I think it helped me' is awkward and contains tense inconsistency. 'Helped' is past tense but the context suggests present habitual action, so 'helps' is correct. The sentence is restructured for clarity.
× And that is the core reasons.
✓ And that is the core reason.
'Reasons' is plural but 'is' is singular, causing subject-verb disagreement. Also, 'core reason' is singular to match 'is'. This correction addresses number agreement.
× Actually, I prefer to doing a word puzzle and it's difficult for.
✓ Actually, I prefer doing word puzzles, and they are difficult for me.
'Prefer to doing' is incorrect; it should be 'prefer doing' or 'prefer to do'. 'A word puzzle' is changed to plural 'word puzzles' for generality. 'It's difficult for' is incomplete; corrected to 'they are difficult for me'.
× Definitely, I think it is really essential for old person like if they play this game or this activity, it will be helpful for their knowledge.
✓ Definitely, I think it is really essential for old people; if they play this game or activity, it will be helpful for their knowledge.
'Old person' should be plural 'old people' to match 'they'. The sentence is split with a semicolon for clarity. 'This game or this activity' is simplified to 'this game or activity'.
× They can easily sharpen their knowledge and it will be helpful for them.
✓ They can easily sharpen their knowledge, and it will be helpful for them.
This sentence is grammatically correct but adding a comma before 'and' improves readability.
× We can see number of people who are aged, they are lose their memory but if they play they can maintain their memory.
✓ We can see a number of aged people who lose their memory, but if they play, they can maintain their memory.
'Number of people' needs the article 'a' to be 'a number of people'. 'They are lose' is incorrect; it should be 'they lose'. Commas are added for clarity. 'Who are aged' is simplified to 'aged people'.
