Gosh! I have a lot of housework to do today.

Mom, I'll do something for you. I might as well help you since I came back your house. I'm totally agree with you that you have a bunch of house chores. You're doing laundry, so may I go shopping to purchase groceries?

Mom, I'll do something for you. I might as well help you since I came back to your house. I totally agree with you that you have a bunch of house chores. You're doing laundry, so may I go shopping to purchase groceries?

1. To express the direction of action, use the preposition TO.
2. Use "I" only, no "am" since the subject "I" is already followed by the verb "agree".
That’s so sweet of you! Thank you! I’d really appreciate your help. If you could go shopping, that would save me a lot of time. Your thoughtfulness makes me really happy.

Do you want me to write a shopping list for you? And are you thinking of cooking something special for dinner today?

If you have decided what you would cook for dinner, I want the shipping list. However if you not, I'll buy something, and cook for you. Thinking of menus is a hassle, sometimes. Do you want to eat fish or meat? I guess my father wants to have meat.

1. Introductory adverbs at the start of the sentence should always be followed by a comma.
2. "Are" is helping establish a condition related to the person's location.
Wow! Thank you! You’re right. Deciding on the menu can be such a hassle sometimes. If your father wants meat, then let’s go with that today. I’m already looking forward to what you’ll make! What kind of meat do you have in mind, beef, pork, or chicken? Are you planning to cook it in a Japanese style or try something different this time?

Well, my father prefers Japanese food rather any kind of food, so why don't we have a Japanese style? As he must want to drink alcohol, I'll cook something suit to a beer. How about chicken wings?

1. Use "than" since you are expressing comparison.
2. An adjective is needed here since you are modifying the word "something".
3. Use the preposition FOR since you are expressing purpose.
Chicken wings sound like a perfect choice, especially paired with beer!

Do you have a special recipe for the chicken wings, or are you thinking of making a simple, classic version? Is there a particular side dish or appetizer you usually serve with your chicken wings, or do you like to keep it simple?

Do you remember the chicken wings that you would cook for us during our childhood? You said you used seasoning just soy source, salt and pepper. As for side dishes, I'll cook with items for sale at the supermarket. It's still noon, so I'll go out in the afternoon. Can I do something else for you?

1. Alternative: When we were kids.
Of course I remember those chicken wings—they were always a hit! I love that you still remember the simple seasoning I used.

You're already doing so much, and I really appreciate it. Since you’re heading out this afternoon, would you mind also checking if we’re low on things like milk, eggs, or miso?

You know I love your meals, and I always try to cook like yours, but the taste is something different. That's mum's cooking! All right. I'll check what are inside the refrigerator before shopping.

1. The word "refrigerator" is singular, so use the singular verb "is".
