× When I was a child I usually ignore the advertisements because they were really quite annoying and distracted my favorite TV shows.
✓ When I was a child I usually ignored the advertisements because they were really quite annoying and distracted my favourite TV shows.
The sentence refers to a past time ('when I was a child'), so the verb 'ignore' should be in the past tense 'ignored' to maintain tense consistency. Also, 'favourite' is the Australian English spelling.
× I usually ignore them and focused on the main.
✓ I usually ignored them and focused on the main.
The sentence refers to past habits, so both verbs should be in the past tense. 'Ignore' should be 'ignored' to agree with 'focused' and the past time context.
× I often see lots of advertisements displayed on trains, trams and pub, uh, buses.
✓ I often see lots of advertisements displayed on trains, trams and buses.
'Pub' is singular and does not fit the list of transport modes. It should be removed or pluralised if appropriate. Here, 'pub' is likely an error and should be omitted to maintain parallel structure.
× So they are quite interesting because most of the time they use uh, catchy slogans, bright colours and they try to attract more audience by.
✓ So they are quite interesting because most of the time they use catchy slogans, bright colours and try to attract more audience.
The sentence ends abruptly with 'by' without completing the phrase. Removing 'by' completes the sentence correctly. Also, 'they try' is redundant after 'and' since 'use' and 'try' share the same subject.
× I find I usually find them quite annoying because they distract the mentor shows and also sometimes advertisements on the Internet and social media are repetitive and they try to attract our attention by focusing on.
✓ I usually find them quite annoying because they distract the mentor shows and also sometimes advertisements on the Internet and social media are repetitive and they try to attract our attention by focusing on them.
The sentence is incomplete ending with 'focusing on'. Adding 'them' completes the phrase. Also, 'I find I usually find' is redundant; removing the first 'I find' improves clarity.
× I like, I personally like advertisement which are in a creative, I would say the ones which focus, which try to uh, give A twist and surprise you at the end.
✓ I personally like advertisements which are creative, I would say the ones which focus on giving a twist and surprising you at the end.
'Advertisement' should be plural 'advertisements' to match the context. 'In a creative' is incorrect; 'creative' is an adjective and should not be preceded by 'in a'. Also, 'give A twist' should be 'giving a twist' to fit the verb form after 'focus on'.
× So I found them quite interesting and I think it's an innovative way to promote the product.
✓ So I find them quite interesting and I think it's an innovative way to promote the product.
The sentence mixes past tense 'found' with present tense 'think'. Since the speaker is expressing a current opinion, 'find' should be in present tense to maintain consistency.
× I see lots of advertisements when I scroll the phone and also the websites in my computer.
✓ I see lots of advertisements when I scroll on my phone and also on the websites on my computer.
The verb 'scroll' is usually followed by the preposition 'on' when referring to devices. Also, 'in my computer' should be 'on my computer' as websites are accessed on a computer, not inside it.
