× I recently book a pair of comfortable sneakers that I wear daily for work and running errands, which makes my routine much easier.
✓ I recently booked a pair of comfortable sneakers that I wear daily for work and running errands, which makes my routine much easier.
The verb 'book' should be in the past tense 'booked' to match the past time reference 'recently'. Using the correct past tense ensures proper temporal consistency in the sentence.
× Yes, I've both used online several times.
✓ Yes, I've used online shopping several times.
The phrase 'I've both used online several times' is ungrammatical and unclear. It should be corrected to 'I've used online shopping several times' to clearly express the intended meaning with proper sentence structure.
× It's very convenient because I can easily browse a wide variety of styles and size without leaving my home.
✓ It's very convenient because I can easily browse a wide variety of styles and sizes without leaving my home.
The word 'size' should be plural 'sizes' to agree with 'a wide variety of', which implies multiple items. This correction ensures subject-verb agreement and proper pluralization.
× I once purchased running shoes from international website which offers further prices and more options compared to local stores.
✓ I once purchased running shoes from an international website which offers better prices and more options compared to local stores.
The phrase 'international website' requires the indefinite article 'an' because it is a singular, countable noun mentioned for the first time. Also, 'further prices' is incorrect; 'better prices' is the appropriate collocation.
× I usually spend a moderate amount in on shoes, typically between $50 and $100 per pair because I prioritize comfort and durability.
✓ I usually spend a moderate amount on shoes, typically between $50 and $100 per pair because I prioritize comfort and durability.
The preposition 'in' is unnecessary and incorrect here. The correct preposition to use with 'spend' and an object is 'on'. Removing 'in' corrects the prepositional phrase.
× I prefer investing in well known brands that use high quality materials as this ensures the shoes last longer and ultimately save my money.
✓ I prefer investing in well-known brands that use high-quality materials as this ensures the shoes last longer and ultimately saves me money.
Compound adjectives 'well known' and 'high quality' should be hyphenated as 'well-known' and 'high-quality'. Also, 'save my money' should be 'saves me money' to agree with the singular subject 'this' and use the correct object pronoun.
× I prefer comfortable shoes rather than fashionable ones because comfort is essential for my daily activities.
✓ I prefer comfortable shoes to fashionable ones because comfort is essential for my daily activities.
The correct preposition to use with 'prefer' when comparing two things is 'to', not 'rather than'. Using 'prefer A to B' is the standard grammatical structure.
× For example, when I have to work or stand for a long periods, Comfortable serious health prevent pain and fatigue.
✓ For example, when I have to work or stand for long periods, comfortable shoes prevent pain and fatigue.
'A long periods' is incorrect because 'periods' is plural and should not be preceded by 'a'. Also, 'Comfortable serious health prevent pain and fatigue' is ungrammatical and unclear; it should be 'comfortable shoes prevent pain and fatigue' to convey the intended meaning clearly.
× Although stylists choose my look attractive, I believe that maintaining good foot health should always come first.
✓ Although stylists choose my look to be attractive, I believe that maintaining good foot health should always come first.
The phrase 'choose my look attractive' is incorrect. It should be 'choose my look to be attractive' to properly link the verb 'choose' with the adjective 'attractive' using the infinitive form.
