Grammar

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× No, I find shopping to be time consuming and tiring.

No, I find shopping to be time-consuming and tiring.

The phrase 'time consuming' should be hyphenated to 'time-consuming' when used as a compound adjective before a noun or in this case as a predicate adjective. This clarifies that shopping consumes time.

Incorrect use of conjunction

× Additionally, most shopping places are very crowded and big.

Additionally, most shopping places are very crowded and large.

The adjective 'big' is less formal and less appropriate in this context. 'Large' is a better adjective to describe size in formal or semi-formal speech.

Sentence structure errors

× I would really prefer to shop online since it's very convenient and. Accessible.

I would really prefer to shop online since it's very convenient and accessible.

The sentence is broken incorrectly by a period after 'and', which disrupts the flow. The two adjectives 'convenient and accessible' should be connected without a period.

Sentence structure errors

× Usually I would go for items that are discounted or similar items which are way cheaper. And. I'm staying on a budget and I do really prefer to. Have items which are not expensive.

Usually I would go for items that are discounted or similar items which are way cheaper. I'm staying on a budget and I really prefer to have items which are not expensive.

The sentence is fragmented incorrectly with periods after 'And' and 'to'. These fragments should be combined to form complete sentences for clarity and grammatical correctness.

Incorrect use of adverbs

× Yes, I often find it quite difficult to make choices when I go shopping, specially because there are so many options available.

Yes, I often find it quite difficult to make choices when I go shopping, especially because there are so many options available.

The word 'specially' is incorrect here; the correct adverb is 'especially' to indicate emphasis or particular reason.

Sentence structure errors

× Sometimes I am. Overwhelmed by the variety of products which makes it hard to decide what to buy, so I would go down. To checking the prices before.

Sometimes I am overwhelmed by the variety of products which makes it hard to decide what to buy, so I would go down to checking the prices before.

The sentence is broken incorrectly by periods after 'am' and 'down'. These should be removed to maintain sentence flow. However, 'go down to checking' is awkward; better phrasing would be 'resort to checking' or 'go down to checking' is acceptable but less common.

Incorrect use of verb forms

× However, we cannot deny the fact that branded items used. Quality materials which are making their products more durable and of good quality.

However, we cannot deny the fact that branded items use quality materials which make their products more durable and of good quality.

The verb 'used' is incorrectly in past tense; it should be present tense 'use' to match the present context. Also, 'which are making' should be 'which make' to correctly express a general truth.
