Error analysis:
error_sentence: It's3:00 now, Linda is at shop hall now.
correct_sentence: It's 3:00 now.
error: It's3:00 now,
correction: It's 3:00 now.
error_type: Punctuation Error
error_severity: 2
error_description: ① Space Error: According to English writing conventions, a space must be kept between the contraction 〈It's〉 and the time 〈3:00〉, otherwise it constitutes a spelling error. Therefore, 〈It's3:00〉 should be corrected to 『It's 3:00』 to ensure compliance with standard written format; ② Punctuation Error: According to English grammar rules, 〈It's3:00 now〉 and 〈Linda is...〉 are two independent clauses, and connecting them directly with a comma does not conform to English sentence structure norms. It should be changed to a period separation, making each independent clause a complete sentence.
error_sentence: It's3:00 now, Linda is at shop hall now.
correct_sentence: Linda is at the shopping mall now.
error: shop hall
correction: the shopping mall
error_type: Noun Error
error_severity: 5
error_description: ① Determiner Error: According to English grammar rules, the countable noun 〈shopping mall〉, when generally referred to, requires the definite article 『the』 to specify a particular mall. Therefore, it needs to be corrected to 『the shopping mall』 to make the structure complete and conform to article usage norms; ② Noun Error: According to English fixed expressions and common terms for commercial places, 〈shop hall〉 is not a standard term and cannot accurately refer to a "mall". It should be changed to the more idiomatic 『shopping mall』 (American English) to ensure semantic clarity.
error_sentence: She seeing a little girl is buying some food.
correct_sentence: She sees a little girl buying some food.
error: seeing
correction: sees
error_type: Verb Tense Error
error_severity: 3
error_description: Verb Tense Error: According to English tense usage rules, the present participle 〈seeing〉 does not fit the action described in the context; the original sentence describes an objective observation (a habitual, non-progressive action), so it should be changed to the simple present tense 『sees』 to meet the tense requirement for describing general facts.
error_sentence: She seeing a little girl is buying some food.
correct_sentence: She sees a little girl buying some food.
error: is
error_type: Word Redundancy Error
error_severity: 3
error_description: Word Redundancy Error: According to English grammar rules, when the sensory verb 〈sees〉 is followed by the object 〈a little girl〉, if the object's action needs further description, a present participle phrase should be used as the object complement (indicating active/progressive meaning). The original sentence mistakenly uses the complete predicate structure 〈is buying〉, violating non-finite verb usage rules; the redundant 〈is〉 needs to be deleted, retaining the present participle 『buying』 to form a complex object structure.
error_sentence: In the dress shop, she seeing a young lady looking a new dress.
correct_sentence: In the dress shop, she sees a young lady looking at a new dress.
error: seeing
correction: sees

correct_sentence: In the dress shop, she sees a young lady looking at a new dress.
correction: at
error_type: Preposition Error
error_severity: 2
error_description: Preposition Error: According to English fixed collocation rules, the verb 〈look〉, when meaning 'to gaze at', must be paired with the preposition 『at』 to form the phrasal verb 『look at』, fully expressing the directionality of the action. The original sentence omits the crucial preposition, resulting in an incomplete phrase structure.
error_sentence: In the shoes shop, Linda seeing a woman trying the shoes.
correct_sentence: In the shoe shop, Linda sees a woman trying on the shoes.
error: shoes
correction: shoe
error_type: Noun Number Error
error_severity: 2
error_description: Noun Number Error: According to English grammar rules, when the noun 〈shoe〉 acts as an attributive modifying another noun 〈shop〉, even if it represents a plural concept, the attributive noun must use the singular form (unless it is a noun that inherently exists in plural form like clothes/sports). Therefore, the plural form 〈shoes〉 needs to be changed to the singular form 『shoe』 to form the compound noun 『shoe shop』.
error_sentence: In the shoes shop, Linda seeing a woman trying the shoes.
correct_sentence: In the shoe shop, Linda sees a woman trying on the shoes.
error: seeing
correction: sees

correct_sentence: In the shoe shop, Linda sees a woman trying on the shoes.
correction: on
error_type: Preposition Error
error_severity: 2
error_description: Preposition Error: According to English fixed collocation rules, the verb 〈try〉, when meaning 'to try on clothes', must be paired with the preposition 『on』 to form the phrasal verb try on, fully expressing the specific meaning of the action. The original sentence omits the crucial preposition, resulting in an incomplete and semantically unclear phrase structure.
error_sentence: He's staying on the sofa, he's waiting for Linda's mother.
correct_sentence: He's staying on the sofa, and he's waiting for Linda's mother.
correction: and
error_type: Conjunction Error
error_severity: 3
error_description: Conjunction Error: According to English grammar rules, when two independent clauses 〈He's staying...〉 and 〈he's waiting...〉 form a coordinate relationship, they must be connected by the coordinating conjunction 『and』 to avoid a run-on sentence error. This correction conforms to the basic structural requirements of English compound sentences.
