× I think it's good gift for women
✓ I think it's a good gift for women
The sentence is missing the indefinite article 'a' before the singular countable noun 'good gift'. In English, singular countable nouns require an article or determiner. Adding 'a' makes the sentence grammatically correct.
× she often gave me beautiful flower arrangements which may
✓ she often gave me beautiful flower arrangements
The phrase 'which may' is incomplete and unclear in this context. Removing it corrects the sentence. Also, 'flower arrangements' is plural and correctly used here.
× all my girlfriend stuff
✓ all my girlfriends
'Girlfriend' should be plural to refer to multiple people. 'Stuff' is incorrect here as it refers to things, not people. The correct phrase is 'all my girlfriends'.
× my grandmas really enjoy flowers
✓ my grandmothers really enjoy flowers
'Grandmas' is informal but acceptable; however, 'grandmothers' is more appropriate in formal speech. The plural form is correct to refer to more than one grandmother.
× the flowers have big meaning
✓ the flowers have a big meaning
'Meaning' is a singular countable noun here and requires the article 'a' before 'big meaning' to be grammatically correct.
× it's good gift for girls
✓ it's a good gift for girls
As before, 'gift' is a singular countable noun and needs the indefinite article 'a' before it.
× We have flowers fields since Russia is so big
✓ We have flower fields since Russia is so big
'Flowers fields' is incorrect; the correct compound noun is 'flower fields' where 'flower' acts as an adjective describing 'fields'.
× in another region we have another flowers
✓ in another region we have other flowers
'Another' is used with singular nouns; with plural nouns like 'flowers', 'other' is the correct determiner.
× and really rarely flowers too
✓ and really rare flowers too
'Rarely' is an adverb and does not correctly modify 'flowers' here. The adjective 'rare' should be used to describe 'flowers'.
× When someone gives me a bucket of flowers
✓ When someone gives me a bouquet of flowers
'Bucket of flowers' is uncommon; the correct phrase is 'a bouquet of flowers' to describe a bunch of flowers given as a gift.
× share with my followers on Instagram
✓ share it with my followers on Instagram
The verb 'share' requires an object before the preposition 'with'. Adding 'it' clarifies what is being shared.
× people often give flowers to women in the other holidays
✓ people often give flowers to women on other holidays
'In the other holidays' is incorrect; the correct preposition is 'on' for holidays, and 'other' should not have 'the' before it in this context.
× for example 8th March birthday and mom's day too
✓ for example, International Women's Day on March 8th and Mother's Day too
'8th March birthday' is incorrect; the correct term is 'International Women's Day on March 8th'. Also, 'mom's day' should be 'Mother's Day'. Adding commas improves clarity.
