Do you make a list when you shop?
Candidato
Yes, especially when I go to some markets with various things I need to buy. So to avoid forgetting something important, I usually take a piece of paper and write down the things that I need to buy to purchase. So whenever I put a thing in the cart, I'm gonna cross that item down and then just continue my shopping.

× So whenever I put a thing in the cart, I'm gonna cross that item down and then just continue my shopping.
✓ So whenever I put a thing in the cart, I'm going to cross that item off and then just continue my shopping.
The phrase 'cross that item down' is incorrect. The correct phrasal verb is 'cross off,' which means to mark something as completed or removed from a list. Also, 'gonna' is informal; 'going to' is more appropriate in formal speech.
× Yes I do and umm, every week I have a list of things that I do on which day.
✓ Yes, I do, and every week I have a list of things that I do on each day.
The phrase 'on which day' is awkward and incorrect here. 'On each day' is clearer and grammatically correct to express the idea of tasks assigned to specific days.
× So this really works for me 'cause I can avoid forgetting important tasks as well as umm keep everything on my track.
✓ So this really works for me because I can avoid forgetting important tasks as well as keep everything on track.
The phrase 'on my track' is incorrect; the correct expression is 'on track,' which means to stay organized or on schedule. Also, 'cause' should be expanded to 'because' for clarity.
× So it's really important for them to, it's not important for them to make lists of things to do that is important for them to be flexible enough to adapt to changes.
✓ So it's not important for them to make lists of things to do; what is important for them is to be flexible enough to adapt to changes.
The original sentence is confusing and has incorrect conjunction use. The correction clarifies the contrast between making lists and being flexible, using proper conjunctions and sentence structure.
× I've tried both afford my work.
✓ I've tried both for my work.
The phrase 'both afford my work' is incorrect. It should be 'both for my work' to indicate trying both methods or tools related to work. 'Both' requires a clear reference, and 'afford' is misused here.
× My notifications on my phone works really well.
✓ My notifications on my phone work really well.
The subject 'notifications' is plural, so the verb should be 'work' instead of 'works' to agree in number.
