× A teacher.
✓ It was a teacher.

× A catchy song that I used to sing along whenever I saw it on TV.
✓ A catchy song that I used to sing along to whenever I saw it on TV.
The verb phrase 'sing along' requires the preposition 'to' to be grammatically correct. Omitting 'to' results in incorrect verb usage. Adding 'to' after 'sing along' corrects the phrase.
× The advertisement make the Barbie doll look so appealing and fun that's I really wanted to have my own and play with it.
✓ The advertisement made the Barbie doll look so appealing and fun that I really wanted to have my own and play with it.
The verb 'make' does not agree with the singular subject 'advertisement'; it should be 'made' to match past tense and singular subject. Also, 'that's' is incorrect and should be 'that'. Correcting these ensures subject-verb agreement and proper conjunction usage.
× They are apps about the upcoming movies, products and services.
✓ They are ads about upcoming movies, products, and services.
The word 'apps' is incorrect in this context; the intended word is 'ads' (advertisements). Using the wrong pronoun or word changes the meaning and causes confusion. Correcting to 'ads' clarifies the meaning.

× For example, I feel frustrated when eggs just pop up.
✓ For example, I feel frustrated when ads just pop up.
The word 'eggs' is incorrect in this context; it should be 'ads' referring to advertisements. Using the wrong pronoun or word leads to confusion and incorrect meaning.
