× Yes, I yes, I like shopping with my friends. It's so exciting.
✓ Yes, I like shopping with my friends. It's so exciting.
The original sentence contains an unnecessary repetition 'I yes, I' which is a sentence structure error (type 26). Remove the repeated words to produce a single coherent subject and verb: 'Yes, I like...'. This makes the sentence grammatically correct and natural.
× Because something is has a place price, it's a good because you don't have to pay more.
✓ Because something has a low price, it's good since you don't have to pay more.
The original sentence mixes words in the wrong order and uses incorrect vocabulary ('is has a place price'). This is a sentence structure error (type 26) and also involves incorrect word choice. Change to 'something has a low price' and replace the redundant 'it's a good because' with 'it's good since' to make the cause-and-effect relationship clear and grammatically correct.
× Yes, because it's so hard to me to choose something.
✓ Yes, because it's so hard for me to choose something.
Using 'to me' after 'hard' is incorrect; the correct preposition is 'for' in this context (type 11: Incorrect use of prepositions). Use 'hard for me to' to indicate who finds the action difficult.
× It's so difficult because I'm not impression and you know, I always choose something.
✓ It's so difficult because I'm not decisive, and you know, I always hesitate when choosing something.
'I'm not impression' is incorrect word choice and unclear. This is a sentence structure/word choice error (type 26 and type 13). Replace with 'I'm not decisive' to express indecision, and clarify 'I always hesitate when choosing something' to make the meaning clear and grammatical.
× I never liked it.
✓ I never like it.
The context is about habitual behavior (present), so the simple present 'I never like it' is appropriate. Using past tense 'liked' suggests a past, completed preference (type 5: Past tense issue vs type 6: Present tense issue). Change to present tense to match the ongoing habit.
× Yes, because it's always has a good taste and it's, you know, it's, I know it's, it's so expensive, but it has a good taste.
✓ Yes, because it always has good quality, and, you know, even if it's expensive, it often has better quality.
The phrase 'it's always has' shows subject-verb redundancy and incorrect agreement (type 27: Subject-verb agreement / type 26 sentence structure). Also 'good taste' is odd for products generally; 'good quality' fits better. Rephrase to 'it always has good quality' and streamline redundancy to make the sentence natural and grammatically correct.
