× Yes, I usually wear a watch every day because watch is a material thing I like the most.
✓ Yes, I usually wear a watch every day because a watch is a material thing I like the most.
The sentence misses the indefinite article 'a' before the singular noun 'watch'. In English, singular countable nouns require an article or determiner. So, 'a watch' is correct here.
× It is like a jewelry that can suit me and make me more handsome.
✓ It is like jewelry that can suit me and make me more handsome.
The word 'jewelry' is an uncountable noun and does not take an article or plural form. Using 'a jewelry' is incorrect. Removing 'a' makes the sentence correct.
× So yeah, because of its shapes and their price, it can make me feel more comfortable and happy for getting a watch.
✓ So yeah, because of its shape and its price, it can make me feel more comfortable and happy to get a watch.
The noun 'shape' should be singular to agree with 'its' (referring to the watch). Also, 'their price' is incorrect because 'their' is plural; it should be 'its price' to match the singular noun. Additionally, 'happy for getting' is awkward; 'happy to get' is more natural.
× Yes, I used to get a watch as a gift on my birthday party.
✓ Yes, I used to get a watch as a gift on my birthday.
The phrase 'birthday party' is not incorrect, but 'birthday' is more natural in this context. Also, 'used to get' is correct for past habitual action.
× My mom bought it for me because she know really well that I like watches the most and that reason she think watches is a good for me as a gift to receive me.
✓ My mom bought it for me because she knows really well that I like watches the most, and for that reason, she thinks watches are good for me as gifts.
The verbs 'know' and 'think' must agree with the singular subject 'she', so they should be 'knows' and 'thinks'. Also, 'watches' is plural, so the verb should be 'are'. The phrase 'to receive me' is incorrect and unnecessary.
× Well, there are so many reason that people were expensive watches, but I would say because they want to show their wealth and their status.
✓ Well, there are so many reasons that people wear expensive watches, but I would say it's because they want to show their wealth and their status.
'Reason' should be plural 'reasons' to agree with 'so many'. The verb 'were' is incorrect; it should be 'wear' to match the subject 'people'. Also, adding 'it's' improves sentence clarity.
× For example, some people wearing luxury watch for showing their successful and confident.
✓ For example, some people wear luxury watches to show their success and confidence.
The verb 'wearing' is incorrect here; it should be the base form 'wear' to agree with 'some people'. 'Luxury watch' should be plural 'luxury watches'. 'Successful' and 'confident' are adjectives; the nouns 'success' and 'confidence' are correct here.
× Also wearing a watch can be an identity of richness I would say.
✓ Also, wearing a watch can be a sign of richness, I would say.
The phrase 'identity of richness' is unnatural. 'A sign of richness' or 'a symbol of wealth' is more appropriate. Also, a comma after 'Also' improves readability.
× Yes, I think it is very important to wear a watch because we can you watch in so many different reason.
✓ Yes, I think it is very important to wear a watch because we can use a watch for so many different reasons.
'We can you watch' is incorrect; it should be 'we can use a watch'. Also, 'reason' should be plural 'reasons'.
× For example, for my opinion as a student I usually use a watch for my my time like setting the schedule, what time that I start study the subject.
✓ For example, in my opinion as a student, I usually use a watch to manage my time, like setting the schedule and knowing what time I start studying the subject.
'For my opinion' should be 'in my opinion'. The phrase 'my my time' has a repeated word; it should be 'my time'. 'What time that I start study' is incorrect; it should be 'what time I start studying'.
× So it is very important for me to wearing a watch.
✓ So it is very important for me to wear a watch.
After 'to', the base form of the verb should be used, not the '-ing' form. Therefore, 'to wear' is correct, not 'to wearing'.
