× I often go to shopping with my mom whenever I get free time.
✓ I often go shopping with my mom whenever I get free time.
The verb 'go' is followed directly by the gerund form 'shopping' without the preposition 'to'. Using 'to' before 'shopping' is incorrect in this context.
× Moreover, I often buy online grocery and other household related products.
✓ Moreover, I often buy groceries online and other household-related products.
The phrase 'buy online grocery' is incorrect. 'Groceries' is the correct plural noun, and 'online' should be placed after the verb 'buy' to indicate the method of purchase. Also, 'household related' should be hyphenated as 'household-related' when used as an adjective.
× Frequently, I also enjoy offline.
✓ Frequently, I also enjoy shopping offline.
The sentence is incomplete and unclear. The word 'offline' is an adverb and needs an object or activity to modify. Adding 'shopping' clarifies the meaning.
× I often compare prices between the same product whenever I go to shopping because I think it is important to consider both quality as well as quantity.
✓ I often compare prices of the same product whenever I go shopping because I think it is important to consider both quality and quantity.
The phrase 'compare prices between the same product' is incorrect; 'compare prices of the same product' is correct. Also, 'go to shopping' should be 'go shopping'. The conjunction 'as well as' is better replaced with 'and' for parallelism.
× So I always compare the prices between the product so that what I get is of good quality with a nice.
✓ So I always compare the prices of the product so that what I get is of good quality and nice.
'Compare the prices between the product' is incorrect; it should be 'compare the prices of the product'. The phrase 'with a nice' is incomplete and unclear; replacing it with 'and nice' improves clarity.
× Yes, I am always very confused whenever I'm going to shopping because I like different products but I have to select one of them so it always makes me confused about what should I take or what should I let go.
✓ Yes, I am always very confused whenever I go shopping because I like different products but I have to select one of them, so it always makes me confused about what I should take or what I should let go.
'Going to shopping' is incorrect; it should be 'go shopping'. Also, the sentence structure is improved by adding a comma before 'so' and correcting the word order in 'what should I take' to 'what I should take'.
× No, I don't think that expensive products are always better than cheaper 1.
✓ No, I don't think that expensive products are always better than cheaper ones.
The word '1' is a typographical error and should be replaced with 'ones' to correctly refer to cheaper products.
× Instead, whenever I go to shop, I always look at the quality as well as the price of the product and I always choose a product with a better quality and reasonable price for me.
✓ Instead, whenever I go shopping, I always look at the quality as well as the price of the product and I always choose a product with better quality and a reasonable price for me.
'Go to shop' should be 'go shopping'. Also, 'a better quality' is incorrect because 'quality' is an uncountable noun; it should be 'better quality'. Adding 'a' before 'reasonable price' is necessary because 'price' is countable here.
