× Yes, near near my home there are many tall buildings, for example Westside Mall.
✓ Yes, near my home there are many tall buildings, for example Westside Mall.
Duplicate word 'near' is not a singular/plural issue but is a repetition error; remove the extra 'near' to make sentence fluent. Suggestion: proofread to avoid accidental repeated words.
× There's a newly built apartment called Milimani apartment which is very tall and I would love to live there because it has a good view of Lake Nakuru and the and the Nakuru town.
✓ There is a newly built apartment called Milimani Apartment that is very tall, and I would love to live there because it has a good view of Lake Nakuru and Nakuru town.
Use 'There is' for a singular noun and avoid repeating 'the'. Use 'that' (or 'which' with a comma) to introduce a defining clause. Remove duplicate 'and the'. Capitalize proper noun 'Apartment' if part of the name. Suggestion: use 'that' for essential clauses and avoid duplicate words.
× Yes, I love taking photos of buildings because I'm love interior design and exterior design.
✓ Yes, I love taking photos of buildings because I love interior and exterior design.
After subject 'I' use base verb 'love', not 'am love'. 'I'm love' is incorrect because 'love' is not used with 'am' + -ing here. Also combine 'interior and exterior design' for concision. Suggestion: use simple present 'I love' to express preferences.
× So most of the time when I find a good house, I take photo of it.
✓ So most of the time when I find a good house, I take a photo of it.
Count noun 'photo' requires an article 'a' in this context. Use 'a photo' for a single photograph. Suggestion: use 'a' with singular countable nouns.
× Umm yeah. For example, I've been seeing another house in Milimani area.
✓ For example, I have seen another house in the Milimani area.
Present perfect continuous 'I've been seeing' implies repeated or continuous action; here simple present perfect 'I have seen' is more natural to state you noticed it. Also add 'the' before 'Milimani area'. Suggestion: use 'I have seen' to report recent observation.
× I really love it and I will admire to build one in future for me.
✓ I really love it and I would like to build one in the future for myself.
Use 'would like' to express desire; 'will admire to build' is incorrect. Add 'the' before 'future' and use 'myself' for emphasis. Suggestion: use 'I would like to' + verb for polite expressions of desire.
× At the moment there is none I would like to see or visit,
✓ At the moment there is none that I would like to see or visit,
Use 'there is none that' to introduce the relative clause; original omitted 'that'. Suggestion: include 'that' for clarity in this construction.
× but if I get a chance or, or, or if I see a, a newly built apartment or a business building, I'll, I'll want to go and see the interior design, the decor, uh, the furnishing and, umm, and also the course.
✓ but if I get a chance, or if I see a newly built apartment or a commercial building, I'll want to go and see the interior design, the decor, the furnishings, and also the courtyard.
Remove stammering and hesitations. Use 'commercial building' for clarity. 'Furnishing' should be plural 'furnishings' when referring to items; 'course' seems incorrect—likely 'courtyard' or 'layout'; choose 'courtyard' or specify intended word. Suggestion: use plural for items and choose correct noun for 'course'.
× I'll, I'll, I will.
✓ I will.
Reduce repetition; single 'I will' is grammatically correct. Suggestion: avoid repeating words except for emphasis.
× Yes, I would love to live in a tall building because it has fantastic fuse.
✓ Yes, I would love to live in a tall building because it has a fantastic view.
The word 'fuse' is incorrect here; likely intended 'view'. Replace with correct noun 'view'. Suggestion: choose vocabulary that matches meaning.
× There's good fresh air.
✓ There is good, fresh air.
Add comma between coordinate adjectives 'good' and 'fresh' or use only one adjective for concision. Suggestion: use either 'good fresh air' (no comma) or 'good, fresh air' to show coordinate adjectives.
× You can also because of mosquitoes, our areas rain so much.
✓ You can also avoid mosquitoes because our area rains a lot.
Original sentence is fragmented and misordered. Rephrase to 'avoid mosquitoes because our area has a lot of rain' or 'our area rains a lot' and correct 'areas' to 'area'. Suggestion: restructure sentence for clear cause and effect and correct noun forms.
× There's a lot of rain in our area.
✓ There is a lot of rain in our area.
Sentence is acceptable; ensure 'there is' matches singular 'a lot'. No change needed beyond reaffirmation. Suggestion: keep this structure.
× So if you live in a in a ground floor, you'll experience.
✓ So if you live on the ground floor, you'll experience more mosquitoes.
Original sentence ends abruptly without completing the idea. Use 'on the ground floor' (correct preposition) and finish the clause by stating what will be experienced. Suggestion: complete the sentence and use 'on' with floors.
