× I have wear T-shirts, umm, almost every day.
✓ I wear T-shirts, umm, almost every day.
The student used 'have wear', which is incorrect sequence of auxiliary and main verb. For simple habitual action 'I wear' (simple present) is appropriate. If using present perfect, it should be 'I have worn'. Use simple present for routines.
× I prefer them wearing uh outdoors and as well as in my house as they are quite comfortable and are breathable.
✓ I prefer wearing them outdoors as well as at home because they are quite comfortable and breathable.
The original misorders pronoun and verb ('prefer them wearing') and uses 'in my house' awkwardly. Use 'prefer wearing them' or 'I prefer to wear them'. 'Outdoors' and 'at home' are correct prepositional phrases. Combine reasons with 'because'.
× Whenever I exercise or go for casual outings, I always prefer wearing a T-shirt.
✓ Whenever I exercise or go on casual outings, I always prefer to wear a T-shirt.
After 'prefer' both 'to + verb' and 'verb-ing' are possible, but 'prefer to wear' is more natural here. Also use 'go on an outing' or 'go on casual outings' (preposition 'on').
× I love wearing T-shirts, so I whenever I go in the market or whenever I am, uh, searching something online, I prefer to buy T-shirts on every outing as they are one of my favorite and are quite breathable and comfortable for me.
✓ I love wearing T-shirts, so whenever I go to the market or search for something online, I prefer to buy T-shirts on every outing because they are among my favorites and are quite breathable and comfortable for me.
Problems: misplaced 'I', wrong preposition 'in the market' (use 'to the market'), awkward phrase 'whenever I am searching something' (use 'search for something'), 'one of my favorite' should be 'one of my favorites' or 'among my favorites'. Also replace 'so I whenever' with 'so whenever'.
× I prefer wearing T-shirts uh, uh, outdoors as well as in my house, so I.
✓ I prefer wearing T-shirts outdoors as well as at home.
Sentence is fragmented and repeats fillers. 'In my house' is better expressed as 'at home'. Remove trailing incomplete fragment 'so I'.
× There are many designer T-shirts available in my country having, uh, variations in colors and designs.
✓ There are many designer T-shirts available in my country, with variations in colors and designs.
Use 'with' to express features ('available ... with variations'). The present participle 'having' is awkward here. Also add a comma for clarity.
× They're also designed according to the general, uh, general, umm.
✓ They're also designed according to general trends.
Original repeats words and is incomplete. Use 'according to general trends' to express design alignment. Avoid repetition.
× Some people have even started, uh, designing their own T-shirts for according to their personal preferences.
✓ Some people have even started designing their own T-shirts according to their personal preferences.
Remove incorrect 'for' before 'according to'. 'Have started designing' (present perfect + -ing) is correct to indicate a recent change. Simplify filler words.
× Yes, when I was a kid, I always uh, wear T-shirts because they were quite uh, convenient and breathable.
✓ Yes, when I was a kid, I always wore T-shirts because they were convenient and breathable.
Describing habitual action in the past requires simple past 'wore' not present 'wear'. Maintain past tense consistency with 'were'.
× Umm, I always felt comfortable wearing T-shirts until now I am uh, wearing T-shirt as an grown adult.
✓ I always felt comfortable wearing T-shirts, and even now as an adult I still wear T-shirts.
Original mixes past 'felt' with awkward present progressive 'I am wearing T-shirt'. Use 'even now ... I still wear' to show continuity from past to present. Plural 'T-shirts' consistent.
× My mother always buy me T-shirts when I was a kid and she always make me wear them.
✓ My mother always bought me T-shirts when I was a kid, and she always made me wear them.
When referring to habitual past actions, use past tense verbs 'bought' and 'made' not present 'buy'/'make'. Keep tense consistent within the clause.
