× In 10th standard I studied geography, but uh, I heard, uh, I find hard to learn about the different uh, names of the street, rivers, canals, etcetera.
✓ In 10th standard I studied geography, but uh, I found it hard to learn about the different uh, names of the streets, rivers, canals, etcetera.
The verb 'find' should be in the past tense 'found' to match the past tense context of the sentence. Also, 'street' should be plural 'streets' to correctly refer to multiple streets.
× I find hard to learn about the different uh, names of the street, rivers, canals, etcetera.
✓ I found it hard to learn about the different uh, names of the streets, rivers, canals, etcetera.
The noun 'street' should be plural 'streets' because it refers to multiple streets, rivers, and canals.
× Yes, I think geography is useful in future because whenever we want to explore the different area, it's very useful.
✓ Yes, I think geography is useful in the future because whenever we want to explore different areas, it's very useful.
The phrase 'in future' should be 'in the future' to be grammatically correct. Also, 'area' should be plural 'areas' to match 'different' which implies more than one.
× whenever we want to explore the different area, it's very useful.
✓ whenever we want to explore different areas, it's very useful.
The noun 'area' should be plural 'areas' because 'different' implies multiple areas.
× And if we know about the geography and we can spend a lot of time in the valuable countries.
✓ And if we know about geography, we can spend a lot of time in valuable countries.
The sentence is incomplete and awkward. Removing 'the' before 'geography' and 'valuable countries' makes it more natural. Also, the sentence is restructured for clarity and correctness.
× I have learnt geography in my 10th standard.
✓ I learnt geography in my 10th standard.
The present perfect 'have learnt' is less appropriate here because the action is completed in the past at a specific time (10th standard). Simple past 'learnt' is better.
× I found it very difficult to memorize the geographical feature even though my geography teacher is very was very nice and every time she cooperated me to get the knowledge about geography.
✓ I found it very difficult to memorize the geographical features even though my geography teacher was very nice and every time she cooperated with me to get knowledge about geography.
'Feature' should be plural 'features' because it refers to multiple geographical features. Also, 'is very was very nice' is incorrect; 'was very nice' is correct. 'Cooperated me' is incorrect; it should be 'cooperated with me'. 'The knowledge' is better as 'knowledge' without 'the'.
× my geography teacher is very was very nice
✓ my geography teacher was very nice
Mixing present 'is' and past 'was' is incorrect. Since the context is past, 'was' alone is correct.
× every time she cooperated me to get the knowledge about geography.
✓ every time she cooperated with me to get knowledge about geography.
The verb 'cooperate' requires the preposition 'with' when referring to a person. Also, 'the knowledge' is better as 'knowledge' here.
× No, I do not want to be a geography teacher because I have no interest in geography and I think it's very difficult to explain about the geography by maps and different instruments, so I didn't like.
✓ No, I do not want to be a geography teacher because I have no interest in geography and I think it's very difficult to explain geography using maps and different instruments, so I didn't like it.
The phrase 'explain about the geography' is incorrect; 'explain geography' is correct. 'By maps' should be 'using maps'. The sentence ends abruptly; adding 'it' clarifies the object of 'didn't like'.
× Yes, I will learn more about the geography of other countries because now the time when I want to explore more countries, if we have the knowledge about the geography, then it become easier to me to explore the countries.
✓ Yes, I will learn more about the geography of other countries because now is the time when I want to explore more countries. If we have knowledge about geography, then it becomes easier for me to explore the countries.
The phrase 'now the time' should be 'now is the time'. 'It become' should be 'it becomes' to agree with the present tense. 'Easier to me' should be 'easier for me'. Also, 'the knowledge about the geography' is better as 'knowledge about geography'.
