Original Sentence 1:
I like listening to music my favorite singer is Taylor Swift I always listen to her when I feel sad.

Corrected Version:
I like listening to music. My favorite singer is Taylor Swift. I always listen to her when I feel sad.

Explanation:
This sentence is a run-on with three complete thoughts joined without punctuation. By adding full stops, the sentence becomes clearer and easier to read. Each idea stands alone and is more understandable.


Original Sentence 2:
In the weekend I go to market buy vegetables and cooking with my mother.

Corrected Version:
On the weekend, I go to the market, buy vegetables, and cook with my mother.

Explanation:
“In the weekend” should be corrected to “On the weekend” for proper usage. Commas were added to separate activities in the list. Also, “cooking” was changed to “cook” for parallel verb structure. Punctuation helps make the list flow smoothly and shows how the actions are connected.
