× Yes, I like to buying shoes.
✓ Yes, I like buying shoes.
After the verb 'like', the correct form is either the base verb with 'to' (like to buy) or the gerund form without 'to' (like buying). 'Like to buying' is incorrect because it combines 'to' with the gerund form, which is not standard English.
× I usually buying shoes two or three times a year.
✓ I usually buy shoes two or three times a year.
The auxiliary verb 'usually' is followed by the base form of the verb 'buy'. Using 'buying' here is incorrect because 'usually' indicates a habitual action and should be followed by the base verb, not the gerund.
× Usually I buy my shoes online because I don't like to shopping at mall.
✓ Usually I buy my shoes online because I don't like shopping at the mall.
After 'like', the gerund form 'shopping' is correct, not 'to shopping'. Also, 'at mall' is missing the definite article 'the' before 'mall'.
× Usually I buy my shoes online because I don't like to shopping at mall.
✓ Usually I buy my shoes online because I don't like shopping at the mall.
The noun 'mall' requires the definite article 'the' when referring to a specific place. Omitting 'the' before 'mall' is incorrect.
× Usually I spend between 200 and 600 real.
✓ Usually I spend between 200 and 600 riyals.
The currency 'real' should be pluralized as 'riyals' when referring to an amount. Also, 'real' is the singular form; the plural is 'riyals' in Saudi Arabia.
× I prefer comfortable shoes because usually I wear shoes to go to my work.
✓ I prefer comfortable shoes because usually I wear shoes to go to work.
The word 'work' when referring to one's job does not require the definite article 'my' or 'the' before it in this context. Saying 'go to work' is the correct expression.
