× I love to explore different kind of places to shop.
✓ I love to explore different kinds of places to shop.
The noun 'kind' needs to be plural after 'different' when referring to multiple types. Use 'kinds' to agree with 'different' and indicate variety. Suggestion: use 'different kinds of' or 'different types of'.
× Whenever I need something I go to the local market because their product are so good and I'm so satisfied with them.
✓ Whenever I need something I go to the local market because their products are so good and I'm so satisfied with them.
'Product' should be plural 'products' to agree with plural demonstrative 'their' and the plural verb 'are'. Ensure noun number matches pronouns and verbs. Suggestion: use 'their products are' for grammatically correct agreement.
× I love shopping in mall.
✓ I love shopping in the mall.
The singular countable noun 'mall' requires a definite article when referring to a specific place type commonly visited. Use 'the mall' or 'malls' depending on meaning. Suggestion: say 'in the mall' or 'in malls'.
× Yes I compare price when I saw because we can find different prices in different places.
✓ Yes, I compare prices when I shop because we can find different prices in different places.
'Price' should be plural 'prices' to talk generally; 'saw' is incorrect verb for shopping context and should be 'shop'. Also add comma after 'Yes'. Suggestion: use 'compare prices when I shop'.
× Like if we go to the local area people will discount price and in the large mall or in fancy mall. Your clothes are.
✓ For example, in local markets people often offer discounts, while in large or fancy malls your clothes are more expensive.
Original is fragmented and unclear. Fix sentence structure by connecting ideas: contrast local markets and large malls, use plural nouns ('malls', 'clothes'), and proper verbs ('offer discounts', 'are more expensive'). Suggestion: combine clauses with 'while' and use consistent plurality.
× Yet, yes, it's really difficult for me to make twice myself because whenever I go to the mall I saw everything and I love everything.
✓ Yes, it's really difficult for me to decide because whenever I go to the mall I see everything and I love everything.
'Make twice myself' is incorrect; use 'decide' or 'choose' to express making a choice. 'Saw' is past tense but context requires present simple 'see'. Remove unnecessary 'Yet'. Suggestion: use 'It's difficult for me to decide' and 'I see everything'.
× They decorate their things very properly and I'm so attracted to them, so it's difficult for me.
✓ Shops display their products very attractively and I'm very attracted to them, so it's difficult for me.
'They decorate their things' is informal and vague. Use 'shops display their products' or 'stores arrange their products'. 'Properly' is acceptable but 'attractively' better describes visual appeal. Suggestion: use 'display their products attractively'.
× I don't think expensive products are always better than cheaper one because it depends on quality and value for money.
✓ I don't think expensive products are always better than cheaper ones because it depends on quality and value for money.
'One' should be plural 'ones' to match 'products' and indicate cheaper products in general. Ensure parallel number between comparative items. Suggestion: use 'cheaper ones'.
× For example in some local area we found different things be good at a cheaper price comparing to the month.
✓ For example, in some local areas we find good items at cheaper prices compared to malls.
Original has incorrect verb forms and unclear comparison. Use present simple 'we find' to match general statement, pluralize 'areas' and 'items/prices', and clarify comparison target (likely 'malls' not 'the month'). Suggestion: 'we find good items at cheaper prices compared to malls.'
