× I think shopping is a very relaxing activity and also it provides me the knowledge about the new trends that are going around the world.
✓ I think shopping is a very relaxing activity and also it provides me with knowledge about the new trends that are going around the world.
The phrase 'provides me the knowledge about' is incorrect because the verb 'provide' requires the preposition 'with' when indicating what is given to someone. The correct phrase is 'provides me with knowledge'. This improves the sentence's grammatical correctness and clarity.
× And yes, I like to compare prices when I shop.
✓ Yes, I like to compare prices when I shop.
Starting a sentence with 'And' in formal speech or writing is generally discouraged as it is a coordinating conjunction meant to connect clauses. Removing 'And' makes the sentence more grammatically appropriate and fluent.
× I generally go to different places to look for the same item and compare the prices of the different places.
✓ I generally go to different places to look for the same item and compare the prices at the different places.
The phrase 'compare the prices of the different places' is awkward because prices belong to items, not places. The correct preposition is 'at' to indicate the location where prices are compared. This clarifies the meaning and improves grammatical accuracy.
× It gives me a good price to buy the product.
✓ It helps me find a good price to buy the product.
The original sentence 'It gives me a good price' is unnatural because 'give' is not typically used with 'price' in this context. Using 'helps me find a good price' is more appropriate and grammatically correct.
× I have very very clear choices and I also make a list before going to shopping so that I don't get lost or confused by the list of products that I.
✓ I have very clear choices and I also make a list before going shopping so that I don't get lost or confused by the list of products.
The sentence is incomplete and contains redundancy. 'Very very' should be 'very' once. 'Going to shopping' is incorrect; the correct phrase is 'going shopping'. The ending 'that I' is incomplete and should be removed. These corrections improve sentence clarity and grammatical correctness.
× But in my opinion that is not the that is not always the same case.
✓ But in my opinion, that is not always the case.
The phrase 'that is not the that is not always the same case' is repetitive and incorrect. Removing the repeated phrase and simplifying to 'that is not always the case' makes the sentence grammatically correct and clearer.
