× Actually yes, I make a shopping list because it helps me to save both money and time. Also not to forget about necessary items and not to buy unnecessary products.
✓ Actually yes, I make a shopping list because it helps me save both money and time. Also, it helps me not to forget necessary items and not to buy unnecessary products.
The phrase 'helps me to save' is grammatically correct but the infinitive 'to' is often omitted after 'help' in English for smoother flow. Also, the original sentence lacks a subject in the second part ('Also not to forget...'), which makes it incomplete. Adding 'it helps me' clarifies the meaning and corrects the sentence structure.
× In my opinion, they don't consider it as a good structure and they think it might waste their time.
✓ In my opinion, they don't consider it a good structure and they think it might waste their time.
The verb 'consider' is followed directly by the object without the preposition 'as'. Using 'consider it as' is incorrect in standard English. Therefore, removing 'as' corrects the sentence.
