× I always do it during my friends birthdays.
✓ I always do it during my friends' birthdays.
The phrase 'friends birthdays' lacks the possessive apostrophe to indicate that the birthdays belong to the friends. The correct form is 'friends'' to show plural possessive. This is a common error with plural possessives ending in 's'.
× I selected the gifts that they would prefer such as the types and the colors of the stationery or the bags, which is very precise every time.
✓ I select the gifts that they would prefer, such as the types and the colors of the stationery or the bags, which are very precise every time.
The verb 'selected' is in past tense, but the context suggests a habitual action, so present tense 'select' is appropriate. Also, 'which is very precise' refers to plural 'types and colors', so 'is' should be 'are' to agree in number.
× I usually give presents to others during their birthdays or graduation because I think these times are meaningful to celebrate and giving them presents can make them happy.
✓ I usually give presents to others during their birthdays or graduation because I think these times are meaningful to celebrate, and giving them presents can make them happy.
A comma is needed before 'and' to separate two independent clauses. This is a punctuation issue related to conjunction usage, which affects clarity.
× I have never given others a gift that was made by myself because I find it quite difficult to make something on my own and however, I have bought something that was made by others and it was quite delicate and beautiful.
✓ I have never given others a gift that I made myself because I find it quite difficult to make something on my own; however, I have bought something that was made by others, and it was quite delicate and beautiful.
The conjunction 'and however' is incorrect; 'however' should be used to contrast and is better placed after a semicolon or period. Also, 'made by myself' is awkward; 'I made myself' is more natural. Commas are needed to separate clauses for clarity.
× A meaningful gift represent your own mind instead of its high price, and it should best suit the recipient's needs.
✓ A meaningful gift represents your own mind instead of its high price, and it should best suit the recipient's needs.
The verb 'represent' should be 'represents' to agree with the singular subject 'gift'. This is a subject-verb agreement issue (ID 27), but since the problem is with verb form related to third person singular, it fits better under third person singular issue (ID 2).
