error_type: Nonfinite Verb Form Error
error_severity: 3
error_description: ① Determiner Error: According to English grammar rules, when referring to family members, a possessive determiner is usually required. The original sentence lacks a determiner before 〈mother〉; 『her』 should be added before 〈mother〉 to clarify the possessive relationship between "mother" and "Linda". ② Nonfinite Verb Form Error: The common structure for the verb "help" is "help sb. do sth.", which means it is followed by a bare infinitive (without "to"). The original phrase 〈helping mother doing housework〉 does not conform to this structure; 〈doing〉 should be changed to 『do』, forming 『helping her mother do housework』 to comply with grammatical rules.

error_description: Determiner Error: According to English grammar rules, "computer games" here is a generic plural noun and does not require a definite article for modification.

error_severity: 3
error_description: Conjunction Error: According to English grammar rules, in a compound sentence with multiple independent clauses, a conjunction is needed to connect the last two independent clauses to avoid a comma splice error. In the original sentence, 〈her mother is cooking〉 and 〈her sister is listening to music〉 are two independent clauses lacking a conjunction; 『and』 should be added between 〈cooking〉 and 〈her sister〉 to ensure correct sentence structure and coherence.
