× I always do shopping in my budget.
✓ I always do shopping within my budget.
The preposition 'in' is incorrectly used here. The correct preposition to indicate staying inside a limit or range is 'within'. Therefore, 'within my budget' is the proper phrase to express shopping without exceeding the budget.
× it's a variety of different type of clause.
✓ it's a variety of different types of clothes.
The phrase 'a variety of' should be followed by a plural noun. Also, 'type' should be plural as 'types' to match 'variety'. Additionally, 'clause' is a wrong word here; the intended word is likely 'clothes'. Hence, the correct phrase is 'a variety of different types of clothes'.
× That's why it is difficult to make a choice. When you shop.
✓ That's why it is difficult to make a choice when you shop.
The sentence is incorrectly split into two fragments. 'When you shop' is a dependent clause and should be connected to the main clause to form a complete sentence. Combining them improves clarity and grammatical correctness.
× sometimes cheaper dockside better than expensive products
✓ sometimes cheaper products are better than expensive products
The word 'dockside' is incorrect and seems to be a mishearing or typo. The sentence also lacks the verb 'are' to link the subject and complement. The corrected sentence uses 'products' and includes the verb 'are' to form a proper comparison.
× and I play for both of them.
✓ and I pay for both of them.
The verb 'play' is incorrect in this context; the intended verb is 'pay'. Also, the preposition 'for' is correctly used with 'pay' in this context. Therefore, the correction is 'I pay for both of them'.
