× I make a list when I go for the shop
✓ I make a list when I go shopping
The phrase 'go for the shop' is incorrect. The correct expression is 'go shopping' to indicate the activity of buying goods. Using 'go for the shop' is not standard English usage.
× sometime I tend to miss, uh, buying the important things
✓ sometimes I tend to miss buying important things
The word 'sometime' should be 'sometimes' to indicate frequency. Also, 'the important things' is better as 'important things' without 'the' to generalize the items missed.
× I have to go to Ajay again for the shopping
✓ I have to go to Ajay again for shopping
The phrase 'for the shopping' is incorrect; 'for shopping' is the correct form when referring to the activity in general.
× I make A to do list for the day
✓ I make a to-do list for the day
The article 'A' should be lowercase 'a' and 'to do list' should be hyphenated as 'to-do list' to correctly form the noun phrase.
× prioritize it due to according to the preference
✓ prioritize it according to preference
The phrase 'due to according to' is redundant and incorrect. The correct preposition is 'according to' when indicating basis or criteria.
× to see whatever the task I assigned today has been completed or not
✓ to see whether the tasks I assigned today have been completed or not
The word 'whatever' should be 'whether' to indicate a yes/no condition. Also, 'task' should be plural 'tasks' to agree with 'have been completed'.
× It depends on person to person
✓ It depends on person to person
This sentence is acceptable in informal speech; however, a more standard form is 'It depends from person to person' or 'It depends on the person'. Since 'depends on person to person' is idiomatic, no correction is necessary.
× Few people are more organized and they uh, make list for everything
✓ A few people are more organized and they make lists for everything
'Few' without 'a' implies almost none, so 'A few' is correct to indicate some people. Also, 'make list' should be 'make lists' to agree in number.
× doing things as it comes to them
✓ doing things as they come to them
The phrase 'as it comes to them' is incorrect because 'things' is plural, so the pronoun should be 'they' and verb 'come' plural.
× I make list on my phone
✓ I make lists on my phone
'Make list' should be plural 'make lists' to indicate the general activity of making multiple lists.
× it's always available, handy with me even when I go for a business tour or business work
✓ it's always available and handy with me even when I go on a business tour or for business work
The phrase 'go for a business tour' should be 'go on a business tour'. Also, 'business work' should be preceded by 'for' to indicate purpose.
