× I do like buying shoes but not very often.
✓ I like buying shoes, but not very often.
The original uses 'do like' which is unnecessary emphasis in simple present. Remove 'do' for natural present tense: 'I like buying shoes.' Keep comma before 'but'. Suggestion: Use simple present without auxiliary unless emphasizing contrast or denial.
× I used to buy shoes in occasion not on monthly basis and if there is any big occasion like Eid or if there any function marriage ceremony then I like.
✓ I used to buy shoes on special occasions, not on a monthly basis, and if there is a big occasion like Eid or a wedding ceremony, then I would buy them.
Several errors: 'in occasion' should be 'on special occasions' (preposition and plural). 'not on monthly basis' needs article 'a' and preposition 'on a monthly basis'. 'if there any function marriage ceremony' missing 'is' and needs articles and word order: 'if there is a function or a marriage ceremony'. Verb tense/choice: 'then I like' is inappropriate; use 'then I would buy them' to indicate conditional past/habitual. Suggestion: Use correct prepositions ('on occasions'), pluralize when speaking generally, include articles, and choose correct modal/verb for conditional/habitual actions.
× No, I have not buy shoes online yet because I felt that the size won't be a match for my feet.
✓ No, I have not bought shoes online yet because I felt that the size would not be a match for my feet.
In present perfect 'have not' requires past participle 'bought', not base form 'buy'. Also 'won't' is future contraction; because the speaker refers to a possibility at the time they tried, 'would not' or 'wouldn't' is more appropriate after 'felt'. Suggestion: Use past participle after have/has and match modality tense ('would' after past verbs like 'felt').
× At the same time maybe the color will not appropriate because in the showroom or in their Photoshop they used to do.
✓ At the same time, maybe the color will not be appropriate because in the showroom or in their photos they might edit it.
Missing 'be' in 'not appropriate' and incorrect noun 'Photoshop' and awkward 'used to do'. Replace with 'photos' and 'might edit' (modal verb for possibility). Also add comma after introductory phrase. Suggestion: Use 'be' with adjectives ('be appropriate') and use clear nouns and verbs ('photos', 'edit'). Use modals for possibility.
× I never spend a large amount of money on purchasing shoes.
✓ I never spend a large amount of money on buying shoes.
While 'purchasing' is not wrong, 'buying' is more natural in spoken English. No tense error if meaning is habitual; keep simple present. Suggestion: Prefer natural collocations in spoken responses ('buying shoes').
× However, I before buying any shoes I saw check the quality of the product so that I decided that this show I can buy it with this price or these shoes have a low price then I decided should.
✓ However, before buying any shoes, I check the quality of the product so that I can decide whether I should buy them at that price or if they are cheap enough.
Original has word order problems, incorrect verb forms ('saw check'), wrong nouns ('show' instead of 'shoe'), and unclear modal structure. Rearrange to 'before buying ... I check' (correct order), use present tense for habitual action 'check', and use 'decide whether I should buy them' for clarity. Suggestion: Keep logical order: time phrase first ('before buying...'), then main clause. Use consistent tense for habits and clear modal verbs for decisions.
× I do prefer both fashionable, uh, shoes I prefer for occasionally use or for function or any important meetings at the same time.
✓ I prefer both. Fashionable shoes I use occasionally, for functions or important meetings.
Reduce redundancy: 'do prefer' unnecessary; split into two sentences for clarity. 'Occasionally use' should be 'use occasionally' and 'for function' needs article 'a' or plural 'functions'. Maintain simple present for habitual preferences. Suggestion: Avoid filler words and use natural adverb placement ('use occasionally').
× Comfortable shoes, I like to use them for daily use.
✓ I like to wear comfortable shoes for daily use.
Use verb 'wear' for clothing/shoes rather than 'use'. 'Daily use' is acceptable, but 'for daily wear' is more natural. Reorder sentence to subject-verb-object. Suggestion: Use collocations ('wear shoes', 'daily wear').
× So I purchase comfortable shoes, uh, and for, uh, my daily purpose.
✓ So I buy comfortable shoes for my daily needs.
Use present simple 'buy' for habitual action; 'purchase' is formal and unnecessary. Remove filler 'uh' and 'my daily purpose' is unnatural; use 'daily needs' or 'daily use'. Suggestion: Use natural vocabulary and concise wording in spoken responses.
