× Yes, I'm growing tomatoes in my house because of all vegetables I like tomatoes the best and tomatoes in addition. Tomato. Tomato is easy to grow.
✓ Yes, I grow tomatoes in my house because among all vegetables I like tomatoes the best. Tomatoes are easy to grow.
The original sentence uses awkward phrasing and incorrect articles/adjective order ('because of all vegetables' and 'and tomatoes in addition'). Replace 'because of' with 'because' and use 'among all vegetables' to show comparison. Use plural 'tomatoes are' to match subject. Remove fragmented repetitions. Use simple present 'I grow' for habitual action.
× I was growing Tulip, which is a flower famous in Netherland. In school, elementary school it was one of the lessons.
✓ I grew tulips, which are flowers famous in the Netherlands. In elementary school it was one of the lessons.
Use plural 'tulips' for general reference to the flower type and plural verb 'are'. Use correct country name 'the Netherlands' with definite article. Use past simple 'I grew' for a past habitual action and place 'elementary school' correctly.
× Yes, uh, actually I does know so many things about growing plants because in my college I, umm, studying about bronze by orange bronze immunity, which is.
✓ Yes, actually I do know many things about growing plants because at college I studied about plant immunity.
Use auxiliary 'do' with base verb: 'I do know' (not 'I does know'). Replace 'so many' with 'many' for naturalness. Use preposition 'at college' and past simple 'studied' to match timing. The phrase 'bronze by orange bronze immunity' seems incorrect or garbled; replaced with 'plant immunity' to make sense. Ensure subject-verb agreement and verb tense consistency.
× Yes, definitely yes, when the special event occurs, every time the special event occurs, we take some flowers. Flowers bucket to my. Cherish people which?
✓ Yes, definitely. When a special event occurs, we bring flowers for the people we care about.
Original has repetition and wrong noun phrases ('flowers bucket to my', 'cherish people which'). Use 'bring flowers' as natural collocation. Use 'the people we care about' instead of 'cherish people'. Use indefinite article 'a special event' for general occasions. Clean sentence structure and remove unnecessary repetition.
