× Yeah, I have many hobbies, so I love to swim, I love cooking and I love to go outside, play football and.
✓ Yeah, I have many hobbies: I love swimming, cooking, and going outside to play football.
The student used inconsistent verb forms and left a sentence fragment. Use parallel gerund forms after 'love' (swimming, cooking, going) and complete the phrase 'going outside to play football'. This fixes verb form consistency and removes the fragment. Grammar problem type ID: 10
× Yeah, when I was a child, I remember I used to sing in my school. I used to participate.
✓ Yeah, when I was a child, I remember I used to sing at my school. I used to participate in school activities.
The preposition 'in' is incorrect with 'school' in this context; use 'at my school'. Also the second sentence is incomplete—specify what you participated in (school activities). The tense 'used to' is correct for past habitual actions; only preposition and completeness were fixed. Grammar problem type ID: 5
× Yeah, I love singing, so I had, I have this, I'm having this, umm, hobby from my childhood because when I was young, I used to, uh, participate in childhood, uh, in school.
✓ Yeah, I love singing; I've had this hobby since my childhood because when I was young I used to participate in school singing activities.
The student mixed past and present continuous forms unnecessarily. Use the present perfect 'I've had' to show a hobby continuing from the past to present. Replace the awkward phrase 'participate in childhood in school' with 'participate in school singing activities' for clarity and correct word order. Grammar problem type ID: 6
× No, my hobbies are quite different because my brothers, uh, love to do cooking but I don't, I love to do singing. So uh, and my mother, my mother loves to nut. So yeah. So everyone has a different hobbies at my home.
✓ No, my hobbies are quite different. My brothers love cooking but I prefer singing. My mother loves to knit. So, everyone has different hobbies at home.
Several issues: replace awkward 'love to do cooking' with 'love cooking' or 'love to cook'; 'I don't, I love to do singing' corrected to 'I prefer singing'; 'loves to nut' is likely a wrong word—'knit' fits context; article and plurality fixed: 'a different hobbies' -> 'different hobbies'. Also remove repetitive words and improve word order for natural English. Grammar problem type ID: 12
