× if I have to shop many things

✓ if I have to shop many items

The word 'things' is too general and informal here; 'items' is more appropriate for shopping context. Also, 'many things' is grammatically correct but 'many items' is more precise and natural in this context.

× like you can go to shop, you can go markets

✓ like you can go to the shop, you can go to markets

The preposition 'to' is missing before 'shop' and 'markets'. Also, 'shop' as a noun usually requires an article 'the' unless used in plural or uncountable sense.

× like only a bread or a milk

✓ like only bread or milk

Bread and milk are uncountable nouns and do not require an article 'a'. Using 'a' before uncountable nouns is incorrect.

× That's that. I don't.

✓ That's it. I don't.

The phrase 'That's that' is informal and not appropriate here; 'That's it' is the correct expression meaning 'that's all'. Also, 'I don't' is incomplete and unclear; it should be connected to the previous sentence or clarified.

× Before I work with my before I work with my mother

✓ Before I worked with my mother

The phrase is repetitive and incorrect. The correct past tense form 'worked' should be used and the phrase should not be repeated.

× I used to not make a list for my work because I am pretty sure that I can memorize it at all.

✓ I used not to make a list for my work because I was pretty sure that I could memorize it all.

The phrase 'used to not make' is awkward; 'used not to make' is correct. Also, the tense should be consistent in past ('was', 'could'). 'At all' is better as 'all' here.

× But it wasn't that.

✓ But it wasn't like that.

The phrase 'it wasn't that' is incomplete; 'like that' completes the meaning properly.

× My mom taught me always make a list for my work and it works well.

✓ My mom taught me to always make a list for my work and it works well.

The verb 'taught' should be followed by an infinitive 'to make' not just 'make'. Also, 'always' should be placed before the verb for correct adverb placement.

× I think the people who is really confident for their memorizing skills

✓ I think the people who are really confident in their memorizing skills

'People' is plural, so the verb should be 'are' not 'is'. Also, the preposition 'in' is correct with 'confident' not 'for'.

× confident for their memorizing skills

✓ confident in their memorizing skills

The correct preposition to use with 'confident' is 'in', not 'for'.

× making at least takes more time for the from their jobs, from their time.

✓ making at least takes more time from their jobs, from their time.

The phrase 'for the from their jobs' is incorrect; 'from their jobs' is correct to indicate the source of time.

× So it's kind of wasting time for them.

✓ So it's kind of a waste of time for them.

The phrase 'wasting time' is a verb phrase; here a noun phrase 'a waste of time' is appropriate.

× Do you prefer to make a list on paper or your phone?

✓ Do you prefer to make a list on paper or on your phone?

The preposition 'on' should be used before both 'paper' and 'your phone' for parallel structure.

× I would prefer make at least on my phone

✓ I would prefer to make a list on my phone

The phrase 'make at least' is incorrect; it should be 'make a list'. Also, 'prefer' is followed by 'to' plus verb infinitive.

× because everything's recently everything's so digital and also the phones really helpful.

✓ because everything is so digital recently and also phones are really helpful.

The adverb 'recently' should be placed after the verb phrase. 'Phones' is plural and needs the verb 'are'. 'The phones' is incorrect unless referring to specific phones.
