× In their advertisements there was a really big tiger wearing a like Superman and whenever he need to recharge he always drink the their milk.
✓ In their advertisements there was a really big tiger wearing something like Superman and whenever he needed to recharge he always drank their milk.
The sentence has a 'There be' structure correctly used but contains other errors: 'need' should be in past tense 'needed' to match the past context, and 'drink' should be 'drank' for past tense. Also, 'the their milk' is incorrect; 'their milk' is correct. The phrase 'wearing a like Superman' is awkward; 'wearing something like Superman' is clearer.
× Yes, I do see a substantial amount of advertisement on the trains and buses and other forms of transport.
✓ Yes, I do see a substantial amount of advertisements on the trains and buses and other forms of transport.
The word 'advertisement' should be plural 'advertisements' because it refers to multiple ads. 'Amount of' is used with uncountable nouns; since advertisements are countable, 'number of advertisements' would be more precise, but 'substantial amount of advertisements' is commonly accepted in speech.
× They usually place it in these arts inside the carriage or outside the exterior of the buses.
✓ They usually place them in these arts inside the carriage or on the exterior of the buses.
The preposition 'in' is correct for 'inside the carriage' but 'outside the exterior' is redundant; 'on the exterior' is correct. Also, 'it' should be 'them' to agree with plural 'advertisements'.
× On the trains, for example, I usually notice the upcoming events or concerts due to their posters on the bus.
✓ On the trains, for example, I usually notice upcoming events or concerts due to their posters on the bus.
The definite article 'the' before 'upcoming events' is unnecessary. Also, 'posters on the bus' is inconsistent with 'on the trains'; it should be 'posters on the train' or 'on the buses' depending on context.
× it keeps popping up a varieties of ads which distracts my attentions and impacts.
✓ it keeps popping up a variety of ads which distract my attention and have an impact.
'A varieties' is incorrect; the correct phrase is 'a variety of'. 'Distracts' should be 'distract' to agree with plural 'ads'. 'Attentions' should be singular 'attention'. 'Impacts' is vague; 'have an impact' is clearer.
× I have an inevitable fascinations for advertisements with good moral value, such as uh, family bonds or sharing and goodness.
✓ I have an inevitable fascination for advertisements with good moral values, such as family bonds, sharing, and kindness.
'Fascinations' should be singular 'fascination' after 'an'. 'Moral value' should be plural 'moral values' to match examples. 'Goodness' is better replaced with 'kindness' for clarity. Commas improve readability.
× Recently, Coca-Cola just uploaded a new advertisement about the Tate holiday where a family gathering uh, around a table food of foods and Coco cocoa.
✓ Recently, Coca-Cola just uploaded a new advertisement about the Tet holiday where a family is gathering around a table of food and Coca-Cola.
'Tate holiday' is likely 'Tet holiday'. 'Family gathering' needs a verb: 'family is gathering'. 'Food of foods' is incorrect; 'table of food' is correct. 'Coco cocoa' should be 'Coca-Cola'.
× Yes, definitely nowadays most businesses utilize every place to put on their advertisements especially the digital devices like our phones or computers.
✓ Yes, definitely nowadays most businesses utilize every place to put their advertisements, especially on digital devices like our phones or computers.
The phrase 'put on their advertisements' is incorrect; it should be 'put their advertisements'. Also, 'especially the digital devices' needs the preposition 'on' before 'digital devices'.
× When nowadays umm people use these items a lot like everyday, so I believe that they seize the success in.
✓ Nowadays, when people use these items a lot every day, I believe that they achieve success.
The sentence is fragmented and awkward. 'When nowadays umm people use these items a lot like everyday, so' is incorrect structure. 'Seize the success in' is unclear; 'achieve success' is better. 'Everyday' (adjective) should be 'every day' (adverb).
