× Yes, I definitely like to buy a shoes.
✓ Yes, I definitely like to buy shoes.
The word 'shoes' is plural, so the article 'a' should not be used before it. Use 'a' only with singular countable nouns. Here, 'shoes' is plural, so the correct form is 'buy shoes'. This avoids singular/plural mismatch.
× I often buy uh, sport shoes like trainers, umm, workout.
✓ I often buy sport shoes like trainers for working out.
The phrase 'workout' is a noun, but here it is used incorrectly without a preposition. The correct phrase is 'for working out' or 'to work out'. Also, 'sport shoes' is acceptable but 'sports shoes' is more common; however, the main issue is the missing preposition and gerund form after 'like trainers'.
× You know, I'd try it couple of times to buy shoes online but it is hard for me to find the shoes which fits well.
✓ You know, I've tried a couple of times to buy shoes online but it is hard for me to find shoes that fit well.
The modal verb 'I'd try' (I would try) is incorrect here because the action happened in the past. The correct form is present perfect 'I've tried'. Also, 'couple of times' needs the article 'a' before 'couple'. 'Which fits' should be 'that fit' because 'shoes' is plural, so verb agreement is needed.
× So couple of times my online shopping was not really successful.
✓ So a couple of times my online shopping was not really successful.
The phrase 'couple of times' requires the article 'a' before 'couple' to be grammatically correct. Without 'a', the phrase is incomplete.
× So I decided not to buy your shoes anymore online.
✓ So I decided not to buy shoes online anymore.
The pronoun 'your' is incorrect here because the student is talking about their own shoes, not the examiner's. The correct pronoun is omitted or replaced with 'my' if referring to own shoes, but here 'shoes' without a possessive pronoun is better.
× You know, depends on the shoes is 100 maximum $100 if it's trainers or summer shoes, but for winter shoes are a little bit expensive.
✓ You know, it depends on the shoes; the maximum is $100 if they are trainers or summer shoes, but winter shoes are a little bit more expensive.
The original sentence lacks a subject and proper structure. 'Depends on the shoes is 100 maximum $100' is ungrammatical. Adding 'it' as subject and rearranging the sentence improves clarity and correctness. Also, 'if it's trainers' should be 'if they are trainers' to agree with plural 'shoes'.
× And now I'm gonna buy your shoes, which costs approximately €200.
✓ And now I'm going to buy shoes that cost approximately €200.
Again, 'your shoes' is incorrect as the student is referring to their own purchase, not the examiner's shoes. Also, 'which costs' should be 'that cost' because 'shoes' is plural, so verb agreement is needed.
× Both of them shoes should be fashionable and comfortable as well.
✓ Both of those shoes should be fashionable and comfortable as well.
The phrase 'Both of them shoes' is incorrect. The correct phrase is 'Both of those shoes' or simply 'Both shoes'. 'Them' is an object pronoun and cannot be used as a determiner before a noun.
× Umm I have some high heels which I am umm I wear in a in a in a occasion.
✓ Umm, I have some high heels which I wear on special occasions.
The original sentence is repetitive and ungrammatical. 'I am I wear in a in a in a occasion' is incorrect. The correct structure is 'which I wear on special occasions'. Also, 'occasion' is countable and requires an article or plural form.
