The student used 'would thought' which incorrectly mixes a past tense verb 'thought' with the conditional modal 'would'. According to the Past tense issue (ID 5), 'thought' is a past form that does not belong after 'would' in this context. The intended meaning is a present conditional preference, so use 'would prefer' (base verb) after 'would'. Suggestion: use 'would prefer' or simply 'I prefer' depending on meaning.
× Well, if the scenery is really gorgeous and stunning, umm I take photos.
✓ Well, if the scenery is really gorgeous and stunning, I take photos.
The original sentence includes filler 'umm' which interrupts flow but is not a grammatical error. The main issue is redundancy and informal filler; however under the provided list the closest is Verb in the present participle form (ID 10) is not strictly applicable. Instead, no verb form change is required; remove filler for clarity. Suggestion: say 'I take photos' or 'I will take photos' depending on habitual or conditional meaning.
× Most of the photos are will be blurry.
✓ Most of the photos will be blurry.
The sentence incorrectly combines the passive verb 'are' with the future 'will be', producing an ungrammatical sequence. This fits Verb in the past participle form (ID 9) in the sense that auxiliary verbs are misused. Remove the extra auxiliary 'are' and keep the future modal: 'will be blurry'. Suggestion: use 'will be' for future prediction or 'are blurry' for general statements.
× I would say see, uh, because I really like the atmosphere when I'm on a beach and I'm sunbathing or I'm walking, uh, near the sea and I, I'm enjoying the scenery and the view.
✓ I would say the sea, because I really like the atmosphere when I'm on the beach, sunbathing or walking near the sea, and I'm enjoying the scenery and the view.
Several pronoun/word choice and article issues appear: 'say see' is a mispronunciation/confusion of 'sea', and 'on a beach' should be 'on the beach' for a typical experience; repetition of subjects ('I, I'm') is redundant. This matches Incorrect use of pronouns (ID 12) and Article errors (ID 22) but per instructions focus on listed types—here we report ID 12. Suggestion: use 'the sea' and 'the beach' and avoid redundant pronoun fragments; streamline clauses for fluency.
