× Yes, I like buying shoes because it gave me a comfortable.
✓ Yes, I like buying shoes because they are comfortable for me.
The student used 'gave' (past tense) incorrectly and 'a comfortable' (noun/adjective error). The sentence refers to a general present preference, so present tense and correct noun/pronoun agreement are needed. Use 'are comfortable' to describe shoes in general and 'they' to refer to shoes.
× I like Adidas shoes because it is very comfortable and in the childhood I am buying these shoes so that's why I like Adidas shoes.
✓ I like Adidas shoes because they are very comfortable, and in childhood I used to buy these shoes, so that's why I like Adidas shoes.
'It is' is incorrect because 'Adidas shoes' is plural; use 'they are' (subject-verb agreement). 'In the childhood I am buying' mixes wrong article and tense; use 'in childhood' and 'used to buy' to express past habitual action.
× Uh yes I bought a shoe online because the online platform gave me a good day discount on the shoes.
✓ Yes, I bought shoes online because the online platform gave me a good discount for the day.
'A shoe' is singular while context suggests plural; 'good day discount' is unnatural word order. Keep past tense 'bought' and 'gave' but correct noun number and phrase order: 'a good discount for the day' or 'a good one-day discount.'
× Then I will also also purchase the Nike shoes in online because it is very expensive.
✓ Then I will also purchase Nike shoes online because they are very expensive.
Remove duplicate 'also'. Use 'online' without 'in'. 'Nike shoes' is plural so use 'they are' (subject-verb agreement). The future tense 'will purchase' is acceptable for intended future action.
× That is the $10,000.
✓ That costs $10,000.
Original sentence lacks proper verb and unit expression. Use 'costs' to describe price and omit 'the' before a currency amount.
× So in the in the Adidas showroom they are.
✓ So they are available in the Adidas showroom.
Original fragment 'they are' is incomplete. Clarify by stating availability: 'they are available in the Adidas showroom.'
× I always spend a lot of money on the shoes because I like the shoes because it I am playing the volleyball.
✓ I always spend a lot of money on shoes because I play volleyball.
Remove redundant 'the' before 'shoes' and 'the volleyball'. Use present simple 'play' for habitual action rather than present continuous 'I am playing.' Also remove repeated 'because' and extraneous words.
× So I I am always buying the red tape shoes because it save a lot of time and effort and I always use spend a lot of lot of money about the shoes.
✓ So I always buy Red Tape shoes because they save a lot of time and effort, and I always spend a lot of money on shoes.
Use present simple 'buy' and 'save' for habitual facts. 'Red Tape' (brand) is capitalized and plural 'shoes' with 'they save.' Correct 'use spend' to 'spend' and 'about the shoes' to 'on shoes.' Remove duplicate words.
× I always prefer the comfortable shoes because I am a player of volleyball.
✓ I always prefer comfortable shoes because I play volleyball.
Use present simple 'prefer' and 'play' for habits. Omit 'the' before general plural 'comfortable shoes' and rephrase 'a player of volleyball' to 'I play volleyball.'
× Uh, so that's why I wearing a wedding always comfortable shoes because it gave me a good connection in the game.
✓ So that's why I always wear comfortable shoes, because they give me a better grip during the game.
'I wearing' is incorrect; use 'I wear' (present simple). 'A wedding' is irrelevant; likely misused. 'It gave me a good connection' is awkward—'they give me a better grip' or 'better support' is clearer. Use present tense 'give' for general truths.
× So that why I prefer the comfortable shoes is a cheaper than the fascinated shoes.
✓ So that's why I prefer comfortable shoes; they are cheaper than fashionable shoes.
Sentence structure is incorrect. Use comparative 'cheaper than' with correct noun 'fashionable shoes' (not 'fascinated'). Remove unnecessary 'the' before plural nouns when speaking generally. Ensure clarity by separating clauses.
