× making a list is important to keep track all of the things that I need to buy for the house or personal stuff
✓ making a list is important to keep track of all the things that I need to buy for the house or personal stuff
The phrase 'keep track' requires the preposition 'of' to indicate what is being tracked. Omitting 'of' is a common prepositional error. The correct phrase is 'keep track of'. This clarifies the relationship between 'keep track' and 'all the things'. Use 'keep track of' to improve clarity and grammatical correctness.
× and also it we can avoid buying extra or unnecessary stuff and we can keep on a budget
✓ and also we can avoid buying extra or unnecessary stuff and we can keep on a budget
The phrase 'it we can' is incorrect because 'it' is an unnecessary pronoun here and causes confusion. The sentence should directly connect the clauses without 'it'. Removing 'it' corrects the pronoun misuse and improves sentence flow.
× so we always have A to do list to do
✓ so we always have a to-do list to do
The article 'A' should be lowercase 'a' because it is in the middle of a sentence. Also, 'to do list' should be hyphenated as 'to-do list' because it is a compound noun. Correct article usage and hyphenation improve grammatical accuracy and readability.
× we always have A to do list to finish and to accomplish
✓ we always have a to-do list to finish and to accomplish
Same as above, 'A' should be lowercase 'a' and 'to do list' should be hyphenated as 'to-do list'. Proper article usage and compound noun formation are necessary for grammatical correctness.
× finish all the stuff that needed to be done
✓ finish all the stuff that needs to be done
The phrase 'needed to be done' is past tense, but the context implies present necessity. Using 'needs to be done' (present tense) matches the ongoing nature of the tasks. Also, 'stuff' is informal but acceptable here. Correct tense and preposition usage improve clarity.
× They don't like to be helped by A to do list
✓ They don't like to be helped by a to-do list
Again, 'A' should be lowercase 'a' and 'to do list' should be hyphenated as 'to-do list'. Correct article usage and compound noun formation are necessary for grammatical correctness.
× I do prefer making a list on my phone as it's now easier
✓ I do prefer making a list on my phone as it's easier now
The phrase 'it's now easier' is awkward; placing 'now' at the end ('easier now') is more natural in English. This is an adverb placement issue improving sentence flow and clarity.
× Umm and. And because we can limit our use on the paper
✓ Umm, and because we can limit our use of paper
The sentence has an unnecessary period after 'and' and uses 'on the paper' incorrectly. The phrase should be 'use of paper' without 'the' because 'paper' here is uncountable and general. Also, removing the period and combining the sentence improves coherence.
