× I just put the beans in the wet cotton and the water them every day and luckily this sprouted quickly and the grow really well.
✓ I just put the beans in the wet cotton and watered them every day and luckily they sprouted quickly and grew really well.
The sentence incorrectly uses 'the water them' instead of the past tense verb 'watered them'. Also, 'this sprouted' should be 'they sprouted' to refer to the beans, and 'the grow' should be 'grew' to correctly use the past tense. The verbs need to be in past tense to match the time frame of the action.
× this sprouted quickly and the grow really well.
✓ they sprouted quickly and grew really well.
The pronoun 'this' is incorrect when referring to multiple beans; 'they' is the correct plural pronoun. Also, 'the grow' is incorrect; it should be 'grew' as the past tense verb. Proper pronoun use is essential for clarity and grammatical correctness.
× I was so excited checking them every morning.
✓ I was so excited to check them every morning.
The phrase 'excited checking' is incorrect; the correct form is 'excited to check' to express the feeling about the action. Using the infinitive form after 'excited' is standard in English.
× I learned this from my school science class and also my experience of growing mung beans when I was child.
✓ I learned this from my school science class and also from my experience of growing mung beans when I was a child.
The sentence is missing the preposition 'from' before 'my experience' and the article 'a' before 'child'. These are necessary for correct grammar and clarity.
× Plants are same as meaningful gifts because they symbolize good fortune and study growth.
✓ Plants are the same as meaningful gifts because they symbolize good fortune and steady growth.
The phrase 'are same as' is incorrect; it should be 'are the same as'. Also, 'study growth' is a typo or misuse; the correct phrase is 'steady growth'. Proper adjective use and correct collocations improve sentence clarity.
