× Yes, one of my hobbies is attending live music concert.
✓ Yes, one of my hobbies is attending live music concerts.
Countable nouns like 'concert' require an article or the plural form when speaking generally. 'Live music concert' should be plural 'live music concerts' to indicate the activity in general, or 'a live music concert' for a single event. Suggestion: use plural for habitual activities: 'attending live music concerts.'
× I'm really keen on music and I love the atmosphere and energy of live performance.
✓ I'm really keen on music and I love the atmosphere and energy of live performances.
When speaking about the general concept of live shows, the noun should be plural: 'live performances.' Using the singular 'live performance' after 'the' implies a specific single event. Suggestion: use plural for general habits: 'live performances.'
× For example, whenever a band I like comes to my city, I'll definitely buy a ticket and go.
✓ For example, whenever a band I like comes to my city, I definitely buy a ticket and go.
The sentence describes a habitual present action, so simple present ('I buy') is appropriate rather than future 'I'll buy.' Use 'I definitely buy' to show repeated behaviour. Alternatively, 'I always buy' strengthens habitual meaning.
× When I was a child, I didn't really know what I like to do in my free time, but I quite enjoyed outdoor activities.
✓ When I was a child, I didn't really know what I liked to do in my free time, but I quite enjoyed outdoor activities.
The subordinate clause refers to past time, so verb tense should be past ('liked') to match the main clause 'When I was a child' and 'didn't.' Maintain consistent past tense in reported feelings or states.
× For instance, I usually played basketball with my friends after school.
✓ For instance, I usually played basketball with my friends after school.
No correction needed. The original sentence uses past simple 'played' appropriately with 'when I was a child.' (Included for completeness; it matches past habitual meaning.)
× No, I have frequently changed my hobbies since I was a child.
✓ No, I have frequently changed my hobbies since I was a child.
This sentence is grammatically acceptable using present perfect 'have changed' with 'since.' No change required. (Included to indicate it meets the allowed types.)
× For example, when I was about 10, I used to enjoy playing basketball or other outdoor activities, but now I prefer indoor ones.
✓ For example, when I was about 10, I used to enjoy playing basketball and other outdoor activities, but now I prefer indoor ones.
'Or' suggests choosing one of many; when listing past habitual activities, 'and' is more natural. Tenses are correct: 'used to enjoy' for past habits and 'prefer' for present preference.
× Yes, my mother and sister also enjoyed attending live music concerts, so we used to go together many times.
✓ Yes, my mother and sister also enjoyed attending live music concerts, so we used to go together many times.
Sentence is acceptable: 'enjoyed' and 'used to go' correctly describe habitual past actions. No correction needed.
× Also, my father and I share a similar hobby too.
✓ Also, my father and I share a similar hobby.
The word 'also' and 'too' are redundant when used together. Remove one to improve style. Grammar is otherwise correct; present simple 'share' is appropriate for current habit.
× We both enjoy reading in our free time.
✓ We both enjoy reading in our free time.
No correction needed. Present simple 'enjoy' correctly describes a current habitual activity.
