× No actually I don't have many keys with me.
✓ No, actually I don't have many keys on me.
Missing comma after 'No' (punctuation) and more natural preposition 'on me' or 'with me'. This is an article/preposition usage and style issue; use 'on me' to indicate possession at the moment.
× I just carry my house key and then my and my office key in my bag.
✓ I just carry my house key and my office key in my bag.
Redundant and incorrect pronoun sequence 'my and my' creates ungrammatical phrase; remove the extra 'and my'. Keep parallel nouns with single possessive pronoun.
× But these days all the doors has a code too for entrance so they don't need to carry many.
✓ But these days all the doors have a code for entry, so you don't need to carry many keys.
Subject 'doors' is plural and requires verb 'have' not 'has' (subject-verb agreement). Also 'entrance' is better as 'entry' and clarify 'they' to 'you' or 'people' for meaning. Add noun 'keys' to avoid ambiguity.
× Oh yeah, frequently I lost my key, my car key, my house key is 1.
✓ Oh yeah, I have frequently lost my keys, my car key, and my house key.
The original mixes simple past with frequency adverb incorrectly. Use present perfect 'have lost' with 'frequently' to indicate repeated past actions; also pluralize 'key' to 'keys' when listing multiple keys and remove extraneous 'is 1'.
× Once as I lost my office key.
✓ Once, I lost my office key.
Extra word 'as' is unnecessary and makes the sentence ungrammatical. A simple past clause 'Once, I lost my office key.' is correct.
× Yeah, I I have this experience and I didn't.
✓ Yes, I have that experience, but I didn't lose them every time.
The original is fragmented and unclear ('I didn't' incomplete). Provide a complete contrastive clause. Remove duplicate 'I'. Clarify meaning: if speaker means they had the experience but not always losing keys, express full thought.
× MMM, uh, not often, but uh, uh, once, umm, in, I was in my, uh, grandma house.
✓ Hmm, not often, but once I was at my grandma's house.
Use 'at' for location and possessive form 'grandma's' for 'grandma house'. Remove filler words. Present tense/modal not needed; this is a past event so simple past 'was' is fine.
× I uh, go out and I, uh, my, my grandma and I go out and we forgot the key and the home and the.
✓ My grandma and I went out and we forgot the key to the house.
Tense inconsistency and word order issues: use simple past 'went out' and 'forgot'. Use 'key to the house' rather than 'the home and the'. Remove repetitions and fillers.
× Do you think it's a good idea to leave your keys with a neighbour?
✓ Do you think it's a good idea to leave your keys with a neighbour?
No grammatical error; sentence is correct. (No change needed.)
× It depends on the how trust your neighbor and how your family familiar with them.
✓ It depends on how much you trust your neighbor and how familiar your family is with them.
Original word order is incorrect. Use 'how much you trust' for degree and correct subject-verb order 'your family is familiar' with preposition placement. Also 'neighbor' spelling varies; keep consistent.
× I just have nothing acquaintance with my neighbors so I don't have any idea and I don't have any option to give my key to them.
✓ I don't really know my neighbors, so I don't have any idea and I don't have the option of giving my key to them.
'Have nothing acquaintance' is ungrammatical; use 'don't really know' or 'have no acquaintance with'. Also use 'the option of giving' rather than 'any option to give'.
× But as I said, these days we just use the code for entrance.
✓ But as I said, these days we just use a code for entry.
Use 'a code' (article) and 'entry' is more natural than 'entrance' in this context. Tense 'use' is present simple and correct for habitual action.
