× It depend on the situation.
✓ It depends on the situation.
The subject 'It' is singular, so the verb must be in the third person singular form 'depends'. Use present simple third-person -s ending to agree with singular subjects. Suggestion: add -s to verbs with he/she/it subjects in present simple (e.g., 'it depends').
× For former emails and bug documents, I prefer typing because it is faster and looks more professional.
✓ For formal emails and bug reports, I prefer typing because it is faster and looks more professional.
'Former' means 'previous', which is wrong here; 'formal' (polished) is intended. Also 'bug documents' is unnatural; 'bug reports' is the correct collocation. Suggestion: choose 'formal' for polished communication and 'bug reports' for issue tracking documents.
× When I need to send reports, I prefer to do typing.
✓ When I need to send reports, I prefer to type.
After 'prefer' use the base verb or 'prefer doing' structure. 'Do typing' is ungrammatical. Suggestion: use 'prefer to + base verb' (prefer to type) or 'prefer typing'.
× For journaling, I write by hand because it fills me more intimate and helps me relax and reflect.
✓ For journaling, I write by hand because it feels more intimate and helps me relax and reflect.
The verb 'fills' is incorrect collocation here; the correct verb is 'feels'. 'Feels more intimate' describes the experience. Suggestion: use 'feel' with sensations (it feels more intimate).
× I usually use laptop keyboard for my everyday tasks.
✓ I usually use a laptop keyboard for my everyday tasks.
Countable singular noun 'laptop keyboard' requires an article. Use 'a' for a non-specific single item. Suggestion: include 'a' or 'the' as appropriate ('a laptop keyboard').
× It's related to uh studies and work documents.
✓ It's related to my studies and work documents.
The sentence lacks a possessive determiner before 'studies'; 'my' clarifies whose studies. Also filler 'uh' should be omitted in writing. Suggestion: include possessive adjectives (my/our) when referring to personal activities.
× So it's because it is portable and I can easily carry it to lectures and coffee shops.
✓ It's because it is portable and I can easily carry it to lectures and coffee shops.
Beginning with 'So' is unnecessary and colloquial here; removing it yields a clearer sentence. Also pronoun 'it' correctly refers to the laptop. Suggestion: avoid redundant discourse markers in concise answers.
× Whenever I need to work on any report or studies, then I prefer to uh laptop keyboard.
✓ Whenever I need to work on any report or study, I prefer to use a laptop keyboard.
Problems: 'studies' should be singular 'study' or 'my studies'; the verb 'prefer to' must be followed by a base verb ('use'), and 'to uh laptop keyboard' is missing a verb and article. Suggestion: include the verb and correct article and remove filler 'uh'.
× To type on a keyboard in primary school during our computer classes where we practice a lot on basic typing skills.
✓ I learned to type on a keyboard in primary school during our computer classes, where we practiced basic typing skills.
The original is a sentence fragment lacking a main verb for the subject; beginning with 'To type' makes it an infinitive clause. Revised sentence includes subject 'I' and past tense 'learned' to match 'When did you learn?'. Also change 'practice a lot on' to 'practiced'. Suggestion: use a clear subject and past tense verb for past events.
× I also pick it up naturally by doing my homework and playing games on the computer, which helped me improve my speed and accuracy.
✓ I also picked it up naturally by doing my homework and playing computer games, which helped me improve my speed and accuracy.
Question asks about past learning, so verbs should be in past tense: 'pick' should be 'picked'. Maintain consistent past tense across the sentence. Suggestion: keep tense consistent when describing past events.
× I believe that typing can be improved by regular practicing.
✓ I believe that typing can be improved by regular practice.
'Practicing' is a gerund here but the collocation 'regular practice' is more natural and grammatical. Also 'can be improved' is fine. Suggestion: use correct noun forms with 'regular' ('regular practice').
× I usually spend my time writing reports and doing assignments and also online chatting.
✓ I usually spend my time writing reports, doing assignments, and chatting online.
Parallelism: use gerunds consistently and place adverb 'online' after 'chatting' for natural order. 'Also' is unnecessary. Suggestion: keep parallel gerund forms and natural adverb placement.
× That helps me to improve my typing even if I even if I have no thought about it.
✓ That helps me improve my typing even if I have no intention of doing so.
The sentence has repetition 'even if I even if I' and awkward phrase 'have no thought about it'. Use 'have no intention of doing so' or 'don't intend to' for clarity. Also remove redundant 'to' after 'helps me'. Suggestion: avoid repetition and use natural idioms ('have no intention of').
