Sometimes it’s possible to leave the house to visit some friends - it is more common to say 'to leave a place' rather than 'to exit a place'

It's impossible to have fewer hours every day - use 'fewer' with countable plural nouns in a negative comparative. Use 'less' with uncountable nouns in negative comparatives.

If I was born again I would change my job - Use the 2nd conditional for hypothetical present situations. If + subject + past simple..., subject + modal (would) + infinitive...

I'm looking at other companies to find a new job. Use 'another' + singular nouns. Use 'other' + plural nouns.
