× I really looking at myself in the mirror.
✓ I really like looking at myself in the mirror.
The sentence is missing the auxiliary verb 'like' before the verb in the -ing form. In English, when expressing enjoyment of an action, the verb 'like' is followed by the verb in the -ing form. The correct structure is 'I really like looking at myself in the mirror.'
× I have bought mirrors I think couple of months ago.
✓ I bought a mirror, I think, a couple of months ago.
The phrase 'couple of months ago' requires the article 'a' before 'couple' to be grammatically correct. Also, 'mirrors' should be singular 'a mirror' if referring to one item. Additionally, 'have bought' is less appropriate here than simple past 'bought' because a specific time in the past is mentioned ('a couple of months ago').
× Umm, before that it it's umm yeah, gesture.
✓ Umm, before that, it was, umm, yeah, a gesture.
The original sentence is fragmented and unclear. Adding 'it was' clarifies the past state. The word 'gesture' is unclear but kept as is. Proper commas improve readability. This correction improves sentence structure and clarity.
× I already have too much stuff whenever I go somewhere because of my kids so I usually avoid that.
✓ I already have too much stuff whenever I go somewhere because of my kids, so I usually avoid taking a mirror.
The original sentence is mostly correct but lacks clarity at the end. Adding 'taking a mirror' clarifies what is being avoided. The verb tense is appropriate here.
× I think every after, uh, two months and to change it on the wall.
✓ I think every two months I buy one and change it on the wall.
The phrase 'every after two months' is incorrect; the correct expression is 'every two months.' Also, the sentence lacked a clear subject and verb for the second action, so 'I buy one and change it on the wall' clarifies the meaning.
× I think every time just looking at the one mirror, I don't like it.
✓ I think every time I just look at one mirror, I don't like it.
The original sentence lacks a subject for the verb 'looking.' Adding 'I' and changing 'looking' to 'look' corrects the sentence structure and makes it grammatically correct.
× So I always want to change my room so that that's the reason I every two months I buy it.
✓ So I always want to change my room, so that's the reason I buy a new mirror every two months.
The original sentence is awkward and unclear. Rearranging the sentence and adding 'buy a new mirror' clarifies the meaning and improves sentence flow.
