× Yes, I often go to the library to study because it is a very quiet place where everyone is focusing on their work rather than chit chatting or there is a no noise.
✓ Yes, I often go to the library to study because it is a very quiet place where everyone is focusing on their work rather than chit chatting or making noise.
The phrase 'there is a no noise' is incorrect because 'no noise' is a noun phrase and does not fit with 'there is a'. Instead, 'making noise' correctly expresses the action of producing noise. Also, 'chit chatting' should be one word 'chitchatting' or better 'chit-chatting', but since it is informal, it can be accepted as 'chit chatting'. The main correction is replacing 'there is a no noise' with 'making noise' to fit the sentence structure.
× I usually go to the library to complete my assignments or to focus on my exams because it is very quiet place.
✓ I usually go to the library to complete my assignments or to focus on my exams because it is a very quiet place.
The phrase 'very quiet place' is missing the indefinite article 'a' before 'very quiet place'. In English, singular countable nouns require an article or determiner. Therefore, 'a very quiet place' is correct.
× This calm environment helped me to concentrate without any distraction which make it an ideal sport for studying.
✓ This calm environment helped me to concentrate without any distraction which makes it an ideal spot for studying.
The word 'sport' is incorrect in this context; the correct word is 'spot' meaning a place. Also, 'make' should be 'makes' to agree with the singular subject 'which' referring to 'environment'. This correction addresses both word choice and subject-verb agreement.
× No, I don't go to the library when I was scared.
✓ No, I didn't go to the library when I was scared.
The sentence mixes present tense 'don't go' with past time 'when I was scared'. The correct past tense form is 'didn't go' to match the past time reference.
× My mom makes me study at home only because I was the only kid, so there was no distraction at the home even though my parents have so many books because my father is the book lover.
✓ My mom made me study at home only because I was the only kid, so there was no distraction at home even though my parents have so many books because my father is a book lover.
'Makes' should be 'made' to match past tense context. 'At the home' is incorrect; it should be 'at home' without 'the'. Also, 'the book lover' should be 'a book lover' because it is a general description, not a specific known entity.
× I might think so they go to the library because it is very affordable, uh, to buy the books from there, even though concentration is must for the study.
✓ I think they go to the library because it is very affordable to buy books there, even though concentration is a must for studying.
The phrase 'I might think so they go' is awkward and incorrect. 'I think they go' is clearer. 'To buy the books from there' is better as 'to buy books there'. 'Concentration is must' is missing the article 'a' before 'must'. Also, 'for the study' should be 'for studying' to use the gerund form after 'for'.
× So I believe they go for they go to the library for the study.
✓ So I believe they go to the library for studying.
The sentence is repetitive and ungrammatical. 'They go for they go to the library for the study' is incorrect. The corrected sentence removes redundancy and uses 'for studying' to express purpose clearly.
