× getting new items always give me a lot of pleasure
✓ getting new items always gives me a lot of pleasure
The subject 'getting new items' is singular (gerund phrase), so the verb should be singular 'gives' to agree with the subject.
× almost all my shoes bought this years were from online
✓ almost all my shoes bought this year were from online
The phrase 'this years' is incorrect; 'year' should be singular because 'this' refers to a single year. Also, 'bought this year' is correct past tense usage.
× were from online
✓ were bought online
The preposition 'from' is incorrect here; the correct phrase is 'bought online' to indicate the method of purchase.
× I think that's a reasonable price for me
✓ I think that's a reasonable price to me
In this context, 'to me' is more appropriate to express personal opinion or feeling about the price.
× Either lower or higher than that and would be some problems
✓ Either lower or higher than that would cause some problems
The original sentence is incomplete and lacks a clear subject and verb. Adding 'would cause' clarifies the meaning and corrects the sentence structure.
× For example when it's lower, I always think the quality would
✓ For example, when it's lower, I always think the quality would be poor
The sentence is incomplete and ends abruptly. Adding 'be poor' completes the thought and corrects the sentence structure.
× they usually not comfortable and hurt my feet
✓ they are usually not comfortable and hurt my feet
The verb 'are' is missing for the third person plural subject 'they'. The correct form is 'they are usually not comfortable'.
× and I can still you can still see it nowadays
✓ and I can still see it nowadays
The phrase 'I can still you can still see it' is redundant and incorrect. Removing the repeated part corrects the sentence.
