error_type: Conjunction Error
error_severity: 4
error_description: ① Verb Choice Error: The verb 〈took〉 implies physical movement, but the context requires the meaning of 'telling'; 〈took〉 should be changed to 『told』 to fit the context; ② Preposition Error: According to the fixed English phrase 'tell somebody about something,' the preposition 〈to〉 should be changed to 『about』 to conform to the fixed phrase; ③ Conjunction Error: Based on the context, the 'something' in 'tell somebody about something' is an object clause. According to the meaning, the conjunction 『how』 needs to be added after the preposition 〈about〉 to introduce the object clause, expressing 'how it has changed' to fit the original meaning and grammatical rules.

error_type: Word Redundancy Error
error_severity: 4
error_description: ① Verb Tense Error: According to the original meaning, the simple present tense 〈is〉 cannot express the completed state of 'has changed'; 〈is change〉 should be changed to the present perfect tense 『has changed』 to fit the original meaning; ② Word Redundancy Error: According to English expression habits, the time adverbial 'many years ago' can be directly expressed as 'Some years ago'; therefore, 〈Last some〉 is redundant here and needs to be simplified to 『Some』 to conform to English expression habits.

correct_sentence: Some years ago, her grandmother's life was different.

Therefore, there is a verb tense error here. The simple present tense 〈is〉 needs to be changed to the simple past tense 『was』 to maintain tense consistency with the context.

error_type: Punctuation Error
