Do you think expensive products are always better than cheaper ones?
Candidato
Definitely not. I have a different opinion. I believe that it depends on the quality of the product, not the price. Who defines the standard of any item? Even after buying an expensive product from high end brands, they are not as good.

× I love to buy new things every month, so on every weekend I go out to search in street markets.
✓ I love to buy new things every month, so every weekend I go out to search in street markets.
The phrase 'on every weekend' is incorrect; the correct preposition is omitted here. The phrase should be 'every weekend' without 'on' because 'every' already indicates frequency and does not require a preposition.
× ...helps me to buy particular thing at a reasonable prices.
✓ ...helps me to buy a particular thing at reasonable prices.
The phrase 'particular thing' needs an article 'a' before it because it is singular and countable. Also, 'prices' is plural, so 'a reasonable prices' is incorrect; it should be 'reasonable prices' without 'a'.
× So I usually compare prices on Google.
✓ So I usually compare prices using Google.
The preposition 'on' is not appropriate here. When referring to using a tool or platform, 'using' is more suitable than 'on' in this context.
× So to solve this I always bring my mother in this purpose because she always give me a correct advice and help me to choose the right option.
✓ So to solve this, I always bring my mother for this purpose because she always gives me correct advice and helps me choose the right option.
The phrase 'bring my mother in this purpose' is incorrect; the correct preposition is 'for this purpose'. Also, 'give' and 'help' need to be in third person singular form 'gives' and 'helps' to agree with 'she'. 'A correct advice' is incorrect because 'advice' is uncountable and does not take 'a'.
× ...she always give me a correct advice and help me to choose the right option.
✓ ...she always gives me correct advice and helps me choose the right option.
The verbs 'give' and 'help' must be in third person singular form 'gives' and 'helps' to agree with the singular subject 'she'. Also, 'a correct advice' is incorrect because 'advice' is uncountable and does not take 'a'.
