× Yes, all the time I prefer to make list.
✓ Yes, all the time I prefer to make a list.
The noun 'list' is countable and singular here, so it requires the indefinite article 'a' before it to be grammatically correct.
× For example, when I go for a grocery shopping, I prefer to make a list and write down all the products which I needed for my home like snacks, dairy products, uh vegetables, fruits, what kind of things I want to buy.
✓ For example, when I go grocery shopping, I prefer to make a list and write down all the products which I need for my home like snacks, dairy products, vegetables, fruits, and the kinds of things I want to buy.
The phrase 'go for a grocery shopping' is incorrect; the correct expression is 'go grocery shopping'. Also, 'which I needed' should be in present tense 'which I need' to match the habitual action. Additionally, 'what kind of things I want to buy' should be 'the kinds of things I want to buy' for clarity and correctness.
× So I prefer to write.
✓ So I prefer to write lists.
The verb 'write' here is incomplete without an object. Since the context is about making lists, adding 'lists' clarifies the meaning and corrects the sentence structure.
× It helps me to maintain and prioritize my task effectively.
✓ It helps me to maintain and prioritize my tasks effectively.
The noun 'task' should be plural 'tasks' because it refers to multiple assignments or duties, making the sentence grammatically correct.
× For example, as I'm a student, so I organize my assignment and my study, uh, study notes by day, which makes it easier and stay on track and avoid forgetting anything.
✓ For example, as I'm a student, I organize my assignments and study notes by day, which makes it easier to stay on track and avoid forgetting anything.
The sentence has redundant conjunctions 'as' and 'so' together; removing 'so' improves clarity. 'Assignment' should be plural 'assignments' to match the context. Also, 'makes it easier and stay on track' is incorrect; it should be 'makes it easier to stay on track' to maintain parallel structure.
× I think whether people like making lists depend on their personality.
✓ I think whether people like making lists depends on their personality.
The verb 'depend' should be singular 'depends' to agree with the singular subject 'whether people like making lists'.
× Like some people have sharp mind, they think making a list is a time consuming task so they don't prefer it.
✓ For example, some people have sharp minds; they think making a list is a time-consuming task, so they don't prefer it.
The phrase 'Like some people' is informal and better replaced with 'For example'. 'Sharp mind' should be plural 'sharp minds' to agree with 'some people'. 'Time consuming' should be hyphenated as 'time-consuming' when used as an adjective. Also, the sentence is a run-on and benefits from proper punctuation.
× On the other hand, if we talk about some people prefer to make a list so they can remind every remember details, often make lists to stay organized and especially when they go for shopping or they're studying.
✓ On the other hand, some people prefer to make a list so they can remember every detail, often making lists to stay organized, especially when they go shopping or are studying.
The phrase 'if we talk about some people prefer' is incorrect and should be simplified. 'Remind every remember details' is incorrect; it should be 'remember every detail'. 'Often make lists' should be 'often making lists' to maintain parallel structure. 'Go for shopping' should be 'go shopping'. 'They're studying' should be 'are studying' for parallelism.
× Since we live in a technological era, everyone have their mobile phone with them all the time.
✓ Since we live in a technological era, everyone has their mobile phone with them all the time.
The subject 'everyone' is singular, so the verb should be 'has' instead of 'have' to maintain subject-verb agreement.
× As I am also carrying my cell phone with me.
✓ I also carry my cell phone with me.
The original sentence is a fragment and lacks a main verb structure. Changing it to 'I also carry my cell phone with me' makes it a complete sentence.
× So I would like. So I'm always prefer to make a list on my phone.
✓ So I would like to. I always prefer to make a list on my phone.
The sentence 'So I would like.' is incomplete and unclear. Adding 'to' clarifies the intention. 'I'm always prefer' is incorrect; it should be 'I always prefer' to maintain correct verb form and subject-verb agreement.
