Grammar

Incorrect use of pronouns

× This is because I feel like it tells a lot about the person and how they are able to manage the their time.

This is because I feel like it tells a lot about a person and how they are able to manage their time.

The phrase 'the their time' repeats determiners causing awkwardness; 'the' is unnecessary before 'their' and 'the person' should be 'a person' for general meaning. Use 'a person' to refer generally and 'their' to show possession. Suggestion: remove the extra 'the' and change 'the person' to 'a person.'

Incorrect use of pronouns

× Another thing is I believe that if someone wears their watch it makes them appear as much more presentable and efficient.

Another thing is I believe that if someone wears a watch, it makes them appear much more presentable and efficient.

Using 'their watch' implies the person already owns it; 'a watch' is more general. Also 'as much more' is ungrammatical; use 'much more' for emphasis. Add a comma after the subordinate clause. Suggestion: use 'a watch' and 'much more.'

Singular and plural issue

× Yes, actually most of the watch that I got are a gift from my mom.

Yes, actually most of the watches that I got are gifts from my mom.

Mismatch between singular 'watch' and plural 'most' and between singular 'a gift' and plural 'most.' Use plural 'watches' and 'gifts' to agree with 'most.' Suggestion: match plurality across noun phrases.

Past tense issue

× So for example, on my 18th birthday, I got a watch as one of my present and I really love it because it matches with my outfit and it looks so luxurious at the same time.

For example, on my 18th birthday I got a watch as one of my presents and I really loved it because it matched my outfit and looked so luxurious at the same time.

The sentence mixes past and present tense. Events on a past birthday should use past tense verbs: 'loved', 'matched', 'looked'. Also 'present' should be plural 'presents' when one of several. Remove unnecessary 'with' after 'matched.' Suggestion: keep tense consistent in narrative.

Sentence structure errors

× That speaks a lot when you're talking to another.

That says a lot when you're talking to someone else.

The phrase 'speaks a lot when you're talking to another' is incomplete and uses 'another' incorrectly without a noun. 'Says a lot' is more natural, and 'someone else' completes the idea. Suggestion: use 'someone else' or 'another person.'

Verb in the present participle form

× There are various reasons as to why people wear expensive watches.

There are various reasons why people wear expensive watches.

The phrase 'reasons as to why' is wordy; 'reasons why' is concise and idiomatic. This is a style improvement rather than strict grammar error. Suggestion: prefer simpler constructions.

Present tense issue

× I believe that one of them is because it is long lasting and durable so it is a good investment to buy.

I believe that one reason is that they are long-lasting and durable, so they are a good investment.

Awkward structure 'one of them is because' is incorrect; use 'one reason is that'. 'Watch' or 'watches' should agree with pronouns; use plural 'they' to refer to 'expensive watches' or rephrase to singular. Also 'long lasting' should be hyphenated as 'long-lasting.' Suggestion: rephrase for clarity and agreement.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× Another thing is it tells and speaks a lot about a person's status in life.

Another thing is that it says a lot about a person's status in life.

Redundant 'tells and speaks' is incorrect; use 'says' or 'speaks' alone. Add 'that' after 'is' for clarity. Suggestion: choose one verb and keep structure clean.

Present tense issue

× Yes, I think so because wearing a watch indicate that you care about others time and you respect it.

Yes, I think so because wearing a watch indicates that you care about others' time and respect it.

Subject-verb agreement: 'wearing a watch' (singular gerund) requires 'indicates' not 'indicate.' Possessive for 'others' must be 'others'' to show ownership of time. Suggestion: use 'indicates' and 'others''.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× Another thing is it provides a sense of responsibility and efficiency.

Another thing is that it provides a sense of responsibility and efficiency.

This is a minor omission: add 'that' after 'is' for natural sentence flow. Pronoun 'it' is acceptable referring to 'wearing a watch.' Suggestion: include 'that' to improve clarity.

Sentence structure errors

× So carrying a watch does not only make you feel more approachable but it also make you more presentable and.

So carrying a watch not only makes you feel more approachable but it also makes you more presentable.

Parallel structure error: use 'not only... but also' with parallel verbs 'makes' and 'makes.' 'Make' should be 'makes' to agree with subject 'carrying a watch.' The sentence ends with an extra 'and.' Suggestion: ensure parallelism and consistent verb agreement; remove trailing 'and.'
