× The first half of the day we we have lunch together, gather together and there might be some relatives and the other half of the day start from the evening I party with my friends.
✓ The first half of the day we have lunch together, gather together and there might be some relatives, and the other half of the day, starting from the evening, I party with my friends.
The sentence has a subject-verb agreement issue with 'start' which should be 'starting' to correctly connect the phrase. Also, the sentence structure is complex and needs commas for clarity. The verb 'start' does not agree with the subject 'the other half of the day' in this context; using 'starting' as a participle phrase is correct.
× My birthday is the same. It was the same as my grandmother's birthday.
✓ My birthday is the same. It is the same as my grandmother's birthday.
The sentence refers to a current fact, so present tense 'is' should be used instead of past tense 'was'. Using past tense here is incorrect because the comparison is still true now.
× We spent the time together with relatives gathering at my grandmother and grandfather house.
✓ We spent time together with relatives gathering at my grandmother's and grandfather's house.
The phrase 'my grandmother and grandfather house' lacks possessive apostrophes. It should be 'my grandmother's and grandfather's house' to indicate possession. Also, 'the time' is better as 'time' in this context.
× I just try to spend quality time with myself or try to spend more time with my family and the closest ones.
✓ I just try to spend quality time by myself or try to spend more time with my family and the closest ones.
The phrase 'spend quality time with myself' is incorrect; the correct expression is 'spend quality time by myself' meaning alone. 'With myself' is not used in this context.
× In my country there is no any special individuals whose birthday is important to celebrate.
✓ In my country there are no special individuals whose birthday is important to celebrate.
The phrase 'no any' is incorrect; it should be either 'no' or 'any' but not both together. Also, 'individuals' is plural, so 'are' should be used instead of 'is'.
