× For example, said I went to Bart Virginia to purchase some stuff for myself.
✓ For example, I said I went to Bart Virginia to purchase some stuff for myself.
The sentence is missing the subject 'I' before 'said'. In English, the subject must precede the verb. The correct order is 'I said' not 'said I'. This is a sentence structure error corrected by adding the subject before the verb.
× It really helped me to prevent me from taking impulsive decision.
✓ It really helped me to prevent myself from making impulsive decisions.
The word 'decision' should be plural 'decisions' because it refers to multiple possible impulsive choices. Also, 'taking impulsive decision' is incorrect; the correct collocation is 'making impulsive decisions'. Additionally, reflexive pronoun 'myself' is needed after 'prevent'. This corrects quantifier and reflexive pronoun usage.
× I can finish my work before deadline which creates a good impression of me and others.
✓ I can finish my work before the deadline which creates a good impression on me and others.
The noun 'deadline' requires the definite article 'the' because it refers to a specific time limit. Also, the phrase 'creates a good impression of me and others' is better expressed as 'creates a good impression on me and others' to use the correct preposition.
× I guess some people don't like making this because they find it restrictive and they might feel freedom and happy when they can take decision moment by moment without any pressure.
✓ I guess some people don't like making lists because they find it restrictive and might feel free and happy when they can make decisions moment by moment without any pressure.
The pronoun 'this' is incorrect; it should be 'lists' to refer to the activity. 'Feel freedom' is incorrect; the correct expression is 'feel free'. Also, 'take decision' should be 'make decisions' as 'make decisions' is the correct collocation. These corrections fix pronoun misuse and collocation errors.
× Phone. I always prefer to make a list on my phone rather than a paper.
✓ Phone. I always prefer to make a list on my phone rather than on paper.
The phrase 'a paper' is incorrect because 'paper' in this context is uncountable and does not need an article. The correct phrase is 'on paper'. This fixes the incorrect use of quantifiers and articles.
× This is the age of digital era.
✓ This is the age of the digital era.
The phrase 'digital era' is a specific period and requires the definite article 'the'. The sentence structure is improved by adding 'the' before 'digital era'.
× In this is, we carry phone everywhere we go.
✓ In this age, we carry our phones everywhere we go.
The phrase 'In this is' is incorrect and should be 'In this age'. Also, 'phone' should be plural 'phones' or possessive 'our phones' to indicate personal devices. This corrects sentence structure and noun usage.
× It is much more convenient than carrier paper without the worry of losing the paper.
✓ It is much more convenient than carrying paper without the worry of losing it.
The word 'carrier' is incorrect; the correct form is the gerund 'carrying' to compare actions. Also, 'the paper' is better replaced with 'it' to avoid repetition. This fixes incorrect verb form and pronoun use.
