× I wear T-shirts almost every day, especially when I go to home after working and then changes from formal clothes into the casual clothes like AT shirts.
✓ I wear T-shirts almost every day, especially when I go home after work and then change from formal clothes into casual clothes like T-shirts.
Errors: 'go to home' should be 'go home' (incorrect preposition use and phrasing - Grammar Problem Type ID 11). 'after working' is awkward; use 'after work' (noun after preposition). 'changes' is wrong because subject is 'I' so verb must be base form 'change' (third person singular issue - Grammar Problem Type ID 2 and subject-verb agreement ID 27). 'into the casual clothes' should be 'into casual clothes' (article error/word choice - Grammar Problem Type ID 22). Also 'AT shirts' likely intended 'T-shirts' (word choice). Suggestion: Use 'go home', 'after work', and ensure verbs agree with the subject: 'I change'.
× It makes me comfortable and feeling relaxed.
✓ It makes me feel comfortable and relaxed.
The verb pattern after 'make' is base form, not '-ing' or adjective plus gerund. Use 'make someone feel' (Verb + base verb form - Grammar Problem Type ID 8 and present participle issue ID 10). Also combine adjectives: 'comfortable and relaxed'. Suggestion: Use 'It makes me feel comfortable and relaxed.'
× Yes, I do. I have one favorite brand which is really popular in my country and this is Uniqlo.
✓ Yes, I do. I have a favorite brand that is really popular in my country: Uniqlo.
'one favorite brand' is acceptable but unnatural; 'a favorite brand' is better (article error - Grammar Problem Type ID 22). Using 'which' for people/things is acceptable but 'that' or a colon with the name is clearer. 'this is Uniqlo' is wordy; better to state the brand directly. Suggestion: Use 'a favorite brand' and concise phrasing.
× They uh, this brand have a good material and then reasonable price and it's really easier to get it because every single region at my country there is a store.
✓ This brand has good quality materials and reasonable prices, and it's easy to get because there is a store in every region of my country.
Errors: 'this brand have' should be 'this brand has' (subject-verb agreement - Grammar Problem Type ID 27). 'a good material' should be 'good quality materials' or 'good material' depending on countability (incorrect use of adjectives/quantifiers - Grammar Problem Type ID 13 and 14). 'reasonable price' -> 'reasonable prices' or 'a reasonable price' (number agreement - Grammar Problem Type ID 1). 'it's really easier' is incorrect comparative usage; use 'it's easy' or 'much easier' with comparison (comparative error - Grammar Problem Type ID 25). 'every single region at my country there is a store' has word order and preposition errors; correct to 'there is a store in every region of my country' (incorrect word order and preposition - Grammar Problem Type IDs 26 and 11). Suggestion: Ensure subject-verb agreement, correct noun forms for countability, and proper word order for location phrases.
× I'm not sure about it because when I saw the people who were uh, the T-shirts looks plain and it's similar for me and they usually wear the T-shirt for the casual activities, not for the fashionable statement perhaps.
✓ I'm not sure about it because when I see people, the T-shirts look plain to me, and they usually wear T-shirts for casual activities, not as a fashion statement.
Tense inconsistency: 'when I saw' should be present 'when I see' to match 'I'm not sure' (present tense issue - Grammar Problem Type ID 6). 'the T-shirts looks' needs subject-verb agreement: plural 'T-shirts' with 'look' (Grammar Problem Type ID 27). 'it's similar for me' is awkward; use 'look plain to me' (preposition/pronoun use - Grammar Problem Type IDs 11 and 12). 'the T-shirt' should be plural 'T-shirts' for generalization and 'for the casual activities' -> 'for casual activities' (article error - Grammar Problem Type ID 22). 'not for the fashionable statement perhaps' -> 'not as a fashion statement' (incorrect preposition/construction - Grammar Problem Type ID 11). Suggestion: Keep tense consistent, match plural subjects with plural verbs, and use natural prepositions: 'look plain to me', 'for casual activities', 'as a fashion statement'.
× Yes, I did. Especially for my parents. They are uh, the simple person.
✓ Yes, I did, especially for my parents. They are simple people.
'They are uh, the simple person' mixes plural subject 'They' with singular noun 'person' (singular/plural issue - Grammar Problem Type ID 1). Also 'They are simple people' is a clearer description (incorrect adjective/noun agreement - Grammar Problem Type ID 13). Suggestion: Ensure plural subjects pair with plural nouns: 'people'.
× They always pick the clothes that's really umm, simple to wear and then it's really easier to clean and affordable price.
✓ They always choose clothes that are simple to wear, easy to clean, and affordably priced.
Errors: 'pick' is acceptable but 'choose' is more natural; 'the clothes that's' uses singular 'that's' with plural 'clothes' (subject-verb agreement - Grammar Problem Type ID 27). 'that's really umm, simple to wear and then it's really easier to clean and affordable price' contains unbalanced structures and incorrect forms: use parallel adjectives 'simple to wear, easy to clean' (incorrect conjunction/parallelism - Grammar Problem Type ID 16). 'affordable price' should be 'affordably priced' or 'affordable' modifying 'clothes' (incorrect adjective/adverb use - Grammar Problem Type ID 13). Suggestion: Use parallel structure and correct verb agreement: 'clothes that are simple to wear, easy to clean, and affordably priced.'
