Correct: My favorite childhood toy are blocks because I like to make a
building.
Explanation: No need to put a period before the word "because", never start a sentence with "because". Please always check your spelling, Lina. I replaced "blocks" with "are blocks" because blocks is a set. Lastly, we put "to" before a regular verb.

************TEACHER'S COMMENT*************
Hello, Lina! Good job, because you only have few mistakes. Please review my
corrections. I know that you can do a better job next time.
Your common mistake is starting a sentence with "because", that is grammatically wrong. Never start your sentence with a because.
I'll see you tomorrow, Lina! Keep up the good work! ![]()
