Original Sentence 1:
I go to school everyday I study English and math then I go home at 3pm I eat lunch and take a nap.

Corrections & Explanation:
This sentence lacks full stops and commas, making it difficult to understand where one idea ends and another begins. It also has a common spelling mistake ("everyday" should be "every day" in this context).

Revised Sentence:
I go to school every day. I study English and math. Then, I go home at 3 p.m., eat lunch, and take a nap.

How punctuation helps:
Breaking this into shorter sentences with proper punctuation makes the sequence of events clearer. It helps readers follow the routine without confusion and gives proper emphasis to each action.


Original Sentence 2:
My favorite hobbies are reading cooking painting and playing piano.

Corrections & Explanation:
This sentence is a list, but it lacks commas between the listed items, making it hard to distinguish them.

Revised Sentence:
My favorite hobbies are reading, cooking, painting, and playing the piano.

How punctuation helps:
Using commas in a list (especially the Oxford comma before "and") helps readers easily understand each hobby as a separate item.
