× I love holidays as it gives a break from regular work days and also helps to relax the mind and stay in peace.
✓ I love holidays as they give a break from regular work days and also help to relax the mind and stay in peace.
The subject 'holidays' is plural, so the verbs should agree in number. 'It gives' and 'helps' are singular forms, which is incorrect here. The correct plural forms are 'they give' and 'help'. This is a subject-verb agreement issue related to plural subjects.
× It helps improve the productivity and creativity and help think in a different way.
✓ It helps improve productivity and creativity and helps think in a different way.
The subject 'It' is singular, so the verbs must be singular as well. 'Helps' is correct, but 'help' is incorrect here. Both verbs should be in singular form 'helps' to maintain subject-verb agreement.
× Among all other public holidays, I love the International Mother Language Day the most as it signifies the sacrifice of our martyrs who sacrifice their life for the language and establishing the language as the national language.
✓ Among all other public holidays, I love the International Mother Language Day the most as it signifies the sacrifice of our martyrs who sacrifice their lives for the language and establish the language as the national language.
The word 'life' should be plural 'lives' because 'martyrs' is plural. Also, 'establishing' should be changed to 'establish' to maintain parallel structure with 'sacrifice'. This is a singular/plural noun agreement and verb form issue.
× I prefer to give tribute to that certain 'cause that the holidays is holidays intended for.
✓ I prefer to give tribute to that certain 'cause that the holidays are intended for.
The pronoun 'holidays' is plural, so the verb should be 'are' instead of 'is'. Also, the phrase 'holidays is holidays intended for' is redundant and incorrect. Correcting to 'holidays are intended for' fixes the pronoun-verb agreement and sentence clarity.
× And if I don't relate to that.
✓ And if I don't relate to that, I usually spend the day differently.
The sentence is incomplete and lacks a main verb or clause to complete the thought. Adding a continuation completes the sentence and improves clarity.
× Yes, I love spending my time at home as it helps me connect with my family members more through chatting, cooking for them or whereas different methods and it also helps me relax and focus more.
✓ Yes, I love spending my time at home as it helps me connect with my family members more through chatting, cooking for them, or other different methods, and it also helps me relax and focus more.
The conjunction 'whereas' is incorrectly used here. It should be replaced with 'or' or 'other' to list alternatives. Also, commas are added for clarity and correct sentence flow.
× If if you mean that just sitting around and doing nothing, then I prefer a busy holiday.
✓ If you mean just sitting around and doing nothing, then I prefer a busy holiday.
The phrase 'If if' is a repetition and incorrect. Removing the extra 'if' corrects the sentence structure.
× But if the leisure time comes with good enjoyment, like chatting with and gossiping with family members or cooking for them, or playing video games, I prefer a leisurely holiday.
✓ If the leisure time comes with good enjoyment, like chatting and gossiping with family members, cooking for them, or playing video games, I prefer a leisurely holiday.
Starting a sentence with 'But' is informal and unnecessary here. Also, 'chatting with and gossiping with' is redundant; 'chatting and gossiping with' is sufficient. The sentence is improved by removing 'But' and simplifying the phrase.
× If the holiday comes after a long work week or after a big work day, I would much rather have an peaceful holiday as it will help me concentrate more and keep my mind more calm and by relaxation.
✓ If the holiday comes after a long work week or after a big work day, I would much rather have a peaceful holiday as it will help me concentrate more and keep my mind calmer through relaxation.
The article 'an' is incorrect before the word 'peaceful' which starts with a consonant sound; it should be 'a peaceful holiday'. Also, 'more calm' should be 'calmer' for correct comparative form, and 'by relaxation' is better expressed as 'through relaxation' for proper preposition use.
