× I would say recently I never go to the library because you know, modern technology make me in search of something online very convenient.
✓ I would say recently I never go to the library because, you know, modern technology makes searching for something online very convenient.
The modal verb 'would' is correctly used here to express a tentative statement. However, the verb 'make' should be in the third person singular form 'makes' to agree with the singular subject 'modern technology'. Also, the phrase 'make me in search of something online very convenient' is awkward; it is better expressed as 'makes searching for something online very convenient'. This improves clarity and grammatical correctness.
× But when I studied in university, I think I often go went to the library for my assignment.
✓ But when I studied at university, I think I often went to the library for my assignments.
The phrase 'go went' is incorrect; only the past tense 'went' should be used. Also, 'in university' is better expressed as 'at university' in British English. Additionally, 'assignment' should be plural 'assignments' to match the context of multiple tasks. The verb tense should be consistent with the past time frame indicated by 'when I studied'.
× I read academic books for study and search for some important information online, and sometimes I also finished my assignments and the paper in the library because when studying in the library I feel I felt more concentrated and calm.
✓ I read academic books for study and search for some important information online, and sometimes I also finish my assignments and papers in the library because when studying in the library I feel more concentrated and calm.
The sentence mixes present and past tenses inconsistently. Since the context is habitual action, present tense should be used: 'finish' instead of 'finished', and 'papers' plural to match 'assignments'. Also, 'I feel I felt' is redundant; 'I feel' suffices to express current feelings. Consistent present tense usage improves clarity and grammatical correctness.
× When I was a kid, I'm I was really a book lover.
✓ When I was a kid, I was really a book lover.
The phrase 'I'm I was' is incorrect and redundant. The correct past tense form is 'I was' to match the past time frame 'When I was a kid'. Removing 'I'm' resolves the error and maintains grammatical consistency.
× I always visited the library for borrowing and reading all genres such as science fiction, romantic stories and academic books.
✓ I always visited the library to borrow and read all genres such as science fiction, romantic stories and academic books.
The preposition 'for' followed by gerunds 'borrowing and reading' is less appropriate here. Using the infinitive form 'to borrow and read' after 'visited the library' is more natural and grammatically correct in English. This change clarifies the purpose of visiting the library.
× That atmosphere of library may could make me feel calm and concentrate.
✓ The atmosphere of the library could make me feel calm and concentrate.
The phrase 'may could' is incorrect as two modal verbs cannot be used together. Choosing one modal verb 'could' is appropriate here. Also, 'That atmosphere of library' should be 'The atmosphere of the library' to use the definite article correctly. This correction improves grammatical accuracy and clarity.
× Sure, library is a good place for kids to concentrate on learning and reading all genres of books.
✓ Sure, the library is a good place for kids to concentrate on learning and reading all genres of books.
The noun 'library' is singular and countable, so it requires the definite article 'the' when referring to a specific place. Adding 'the' before 'library' corrects the article usage and makes the sentence grammatically correct.
× Some children could do some homework in the library because atmosphere of library makes them feel calm and focus on the learning.
✓ Some children could do some homework in the library because the atmosphere of the library makes them feel calm and focused on learning.
The phrase 'atmosphere of library' lacks the definite article 'the' before 'atmosphere' and 'library'. Also, 'focus' should be in the past participle form 'focused' to agree with 'makes them feel'. Removing 'the' before 'learning' is appropriate as 'learning' is an uncountable noun here. These corrections improve grammatical accuracy and naturalness.
