error_type: Space Error
error_severity: 1
error_description: Space Error: According to English writing conventions, words must be separated by spaces. In this sentence, 44〈X〉 and 〈I〉 are two different words and need to be separated by a space; 〈X.I〉 should be changed to 『X. I』 to conform to English writing conventions.

error: which is
error_type: Word Redundancy Error
error_severity: 2
error_description: Word Redundancy Error: 〈which is〉 is usually used to introduce a non-restrictive relative clause, providing further explanation of the preceding noun. However, in this sentence, there is no content that needs further explanation, but only a simple purpose (to go to the nursing house), so 〈which is〉 is deleted.

error_sentence: and I hope you will go with us together.

correct_sentence: and I hope you will go with us.

error: together
error_type: Word Redundancy Error
error_severity: 2
error_description: Word Redundancy Error: 〈go with us〉 already includes the meaning of 'together', so 〈together〉 is deleted to avoid semantic repetition.

error_type: Conjunction Error
error_severity: 3
error_description: ① Punctuation Error: When 〈As I know〉 is used as an adverbial clause at the beginning of a sentence, a comma is needed to separate it from the main clause, so 『,』 is added after 〈know〉 to enhance sentence clarity; ② Conjunction Error: 〈As I know〉 is a complete introductory phrase meaning 'as far as I know', and it should be directly followed by the main clause, not introduced by 〈that〉, so 〈that〉 is deleted.

error_sentence: As I know that you like the Chinese festival very much so I want to invite you to go with us.

error_type: Verb Voice Error
error_severity: 3
error_description: Verb Voice Error: According to English grammar rules, the modal verb 〈must〉 should be followed by the base form of the verb, so the passive voice 〈be liked〉 is changed to the active voice 『like』.

error: Make
