hi All,
Please correct my story below
------------------------------
There was a girl named Shiny who was seven year old. Shiny never liked that she always has to follow her mama’s rules. She used to think why she can’t do certain thing which Mama and Papa can do. Why mama has to decide everything like what to eat, when to sleep, when to play, what to buy and almost everything. It’s been always a fight between mom and Shiny.
One day Mom asked Shiny to clean her room as Mama has invited Shiny’s friends for play date the next day. Shiny was excited but she announced that this time she will clean her room in her own way. She will rearrange her room. Mama tried to explain that she can rearrange her room at some other time but Shiny was not ready to follow her mama’s instruction this time. Mama allowed Shiny to rearrange and clean her room by herself. Shiny was too excited to take this responsibility all by herself. She shut the room and made a plan to rearrange her room. She has learned from her Mama that She need to organize her room in a way that things could be accessible easily. She thought of the ceiling would be a nice place to hang everything so that she can just lookup for anything and she will know where it is. She also got an idea to hang everything on the ceiling using a cello tapes. She somehow thought to discuss it with mama before implementing her ideas. Shiny called her Mama in her room for help. Mama liked her plan but advice her to hang just a few things to see it that works for her. If her idea works she can probably hang everything to the ceiling. Shiny had sparks in her eye. She started hanging all the puzzle pieces first. It took several hours her to hang all the puzzle pieces to the ceiling. She got tired and she got pain in her hand and in her neck as she never had her hand and neck up for so long.
Shiny was very excited to have her friends next day. All the friends were amazed to see all the puzzle pieces to the ceiling. Suddenly one of the pieces fell down on one of the friend’s head. Shiny was scared thinking that what if it would be heavy pieces of something. The puzzle pieces kept falling on one or the others head. The room was full of laughter. At some point Shiny invited her friends to play the puzzles. But it seems to be a very tedious job to find the puzzle pieces on the ceiling. Shiny made a plan in her mind and told her friends that today she has a different way of playing puzzles. She announced that what we all need to do is first chose any puzzle individually and then find all the pieces of that puzzle. Who will get all the pieces first will be the winner. All the friends started searching the pieces of the puzzle they choose. Since everyone was looking at the ceiling all the time, there were tummy to tummy and back to back collisions. The room was again full of laughter. All of then kept searching the pieces of their puzzle. All of them worked several hours but none of them got all and it was a time to leave everyone.
Mama was very happy as the play date was a great success as no one fights for anything and every one laugh so much. Mama learned that she should allow some freedom to her daughter at some times. Mama asked Shiny if she wants to continue her idea of hanging everything to the ceiling. Shiny was so tired with her neck and hand that she just hugs her Mama and sleeps. When she woke up in the morning, she was in a good mood to follow her Mama’s rule at least for the day.

Hello gauri_agr,
As you can see I have made many corrections, mostly because you kept changing the tense (please note the corrections in red)! Don't forget to be consistent.
Nice story by the way.![]()

thank you so much. I don't know how to improve on "not to change the tenses". While speaking also I do the same mistakes. Ton of thanks and I will try to understand the mistakes you have marked red.
