× I also enjoy to gift them to my family members and friends because they are the best way to express my feelings and emotions.
✓ I also enjoy gifting them to my family members and friends because they are the best way to express my feelings and emotions.
The verb 'enjoy' is followed by a verb in the '-ing' form, not the infinitive 'to gift'. Therefore, 'enjoy to gift' is incorrect; it should be 'enjoy gifting'. This is a common rule in English verb patterns.
× In my family and friends, most of the people like ours and sculptures rather than flowers.
✓ In my family and friends, most of the people like ours and sculptures rather than flowers.
The sentence contains 'like ours', which seems to be a typo or incorrect word. Possibly 'ours' should be 'cars' or another plural noun. Since 'ours' is a pronoun and does not fit here, it causes confusion. The correction depends on intended meaning; assuming 'ours' is incorrect, it should be replaced with the correct plural noun.
× Yes, in my society there are lots of parks and gardens that are filled with beautiful flowers that make my neighborhood a very peaceful and attractive place to live in.
✓ Yes, in my society there are lots of parks and gardens that are filled with beautiful flowers that make my neighborhood a very peaceful and attractive place to live.
The phrase 'a place to live in' is redundant because 'live' already implies 'in'. Therefore, ending with 'to live' is more concise and grammatically correct.
× No, I do not take photos of flowers in my daily life, rather than I like to take photos of landscapes and people because I find them more interesting.
✓ No, I do not take photos of flowers in my daily life; rather, I like to take photos of landscapes and people because I find them more interesting.
The phrase 'rather than I like' is incorrect. 'Rather' should be used as an adverb followed by a comma, not 'rather than' in this context. The correct conjunction is 'rather,' and a semicolon or period should separate the clauses.
× Yes, my in In my country, it is quite common that people send flowers to each other on special occasions like weddings, anniversaries and birthdays.
✓ Yes, in my country, it is quite common that people send flowers to each other on special occasions like weddings, anniversaries, and birthdays.
The phrase 'my in In my country' is a typographical error and disrupts sentence structure. Removing the extra words corrects the sentence. Also, commas are needed in the list for clarity.
× And flowers are the best way to express emotions as they are the medium of love and celebration.
✓ Flowers are the best way to express emotions as they are the medium of love and celebration.
Starting a sentence with 'And' is generally discouraged in formal writing. Removing 'And' improves sentence structure and flow.
